Marketsmith Named AOR for Widex Hearing Solutions

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., May 2, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Marketsmith Inc., [MSI] the only woman-owned-and-operated advertising and Martech agency of its kind, has been named agency of record for Widex USA and just executed an incredibly successful digital and direct mail product promotion for Widex’s new BEYOND Z (video: http://www.marketsmithinc.com/widex).

Widex, a Denmark-based global manufacturer, just finished the launch of BEYOND Z, which is a rechargeable solution for the company’s BEYONDTM range of hearing aids. The promotion performed beyond our expectations, with results that were nearly double our initial forecast. Michael Tease, SVP, marketing, Widex USA “We initially engaged with Marketsmith to design an online survey of audiologists, so we could understand why they recommended a particular hearing solution to their patients, as well as gain insight into their business needs,” notes Michael Tease, SVP, marketing, Widex USA. MSI’s ability to ingest and analyze the data led to the next phase of the engagement, which was a national promotion that targeted audiologists via digital, direct mail and e-mail. “The promotion performed beyond our expectations, with results that were nearly double our initial forecast,” says Tease.

MSI created a dashboard using its patented i.Predictus marketing analytics platform to visualize performance trends comprised of sales data shared by Widex and promotional activity gathered by MSI. The dashboard measured the effectiveness of the four-month promotional campaign targeting audiologists that ended this past month.

“Widex is leveraging our expertise in direct mail and email, and our unique I.P.Q. Approach (Intelligent. Proprietary. Quantified),” says Jill Draper, president, MSI. 

I.P.Q. is a never-ending loop of data ingestion and insights fueled by i.Predictus that combines the best of data science with human ingenuity. I.P.Q. gives the agency and its clients the data and analytics to inform every decision from strategy to media to creative.

According to Draper, the dashboard created for Widex tracks the success of the promotion by measuring the unique data gleaned through phone and online orders, promotion site visits and email engagement, as well as overall click and conversion activity.

“Having these visualizations helps us better navigate the promotional story, as well as understand the greater sales journey, so we can successfully adjust our marketing efforts in near real time,” adds Tease.

i.Predictus LLC, wholly owned by Marketsmith Inc., is an automated marketing analytics platform built by marketers for marketers. With four patents for its innovative work in data and attribution, i.Predictus cleanses and automates data to allow for custom data visualization, cross-channel attribution and custom modeling to help brands interpret and apply data for the greatest return on investment.
