2013/1/29 - ExactTarget Expands Mobile Marketing Suite, Adds Industry’s First Integrated MobilePush Application

Launched at the Mobile Marketing Association Forum in San Francisco today, MobilePush enables marketers to power push notifications through a standalone application or integrate the push messages with campaigns across email, social and the Web via the ExactTarget Interactive Marketing Hub.

“Consumers’ rapid adoption of mobile is fueling a transformation that requires marketers to create and optimize mobile experiences at every point of the digital marketing mix,” said Tim Kopp, ExactTarget’s chief marketing officer and board member of the Mobile Marketing Association. “ExactTarget’s MobilePush application provides the industry’s first solution to seamlessly integrate app-level messaging that leverage engagement data from across email, mobile, social and the Web to deliver the most relevant engaging experience.”

• Cross-Channel Integration: Seamless integration into the Interactive Marketing Hub allows marketers to associate push messages with ExactTarget-powered campaigns across email, social and the Web.
• Advanced Segmentation: Trigger relevant messaging based on consumer preferences and engagement across email, mobile, social and the Web.
• Reporting and Analytics: View application engagement metrics in real time to optimize cross-channel experiences.
• Industry Leading Technology: Powered by a partnership that unites Urban Airship’s leading Push notification technology with ExactTarget’s strength in data-driven cross-channel marketing automation.

In addition to launching its MobilePush application, ExactTarget also showcased its newest mobile innovations and capabilities across its suite of digital marketing products today. The company unveiled its expanded MobileConnect SMS messaging application that now features additional API functionality to trigger real-time SMS messages and adds expanded cross-channel capabilities to power Web-initiated double opt-in and message delivery management.
