Cognitive Marketing Agency AIQ Launches, Bringing AI-Technology to Brands
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) November 14, 2017 -- Today, executives from AIQ announced the launch of their cognitive marketing agency. The new company helps brands and retailers find and organize shopper data across business silos, and assimilate the data into an artificial intelligence engine, BrandBrain(TM), powered by leading AI for customer engagement platform Augment. AIQ then leverages this AI-engine to enable, and scale, direct two-way conversations between brands / retailers and shoppers across all existing and future marketing channels. Ultimately, this will enable brands and retailers to compete through a walled garden of proprietary first party data, built around a continuously learning AI-engine, BrandBrain(TM).
AIQ is led by well-known consumer-packaged goods (CPG) marketing and eCommerce leaders, Greg Murtagh, Founder and former CEO Triad Retail Media and Soren Mills former Retail / CPG CMO and Head of Global eCommerce for Walmart.com. They are joined by Magnus Erhardt, Founder of emerging technology development agency EdgeDNA, and Matt Swanson, CEO of Augment Solutions, Inc.
AIQ will bring leading edge AI-technology to brands through a strategic partnership with AI for customer experience platform leader Augment. The collaboration between AIQ and Augment will use AI-driven brand marketing to generate deeper shopper engagement and higher ROI. AI-driven marketing solutions will break through barriers of traditional marketing and advertising by applying AI driven CRM, across shopper conversation platforms. AIQ will work directly with CPG brands and retailers to leverage both existing and newly generated first party shopper data and build marketing programs that create new two-way interactions with a brands’ best customers.
“We plan to work hand-in-hand with big brands and retailers to educate them on what’s possible using AI, and then build practical marketing programs to leverage the shopper data that either currently goes unleveraged, or doesn’t yet exist, to drive more brand sales. Traditional tactics like shopper marketing, sampling, coupons, in-store displays and display ads will soon be taken to new levels of ROI with the addition of AI technology. This partnership brings together the people that understand both brands and retailers with an AI platform that is flexible and customizable to their specific needs. This is a perfect team to help brands get started with AI without huge expense or a long learning curve,” said Soren Mills, Co-Founder and CEO of AIQ.
"Brands and retailers need to seize control of their shopper data. They need to identify, integrate, scale and leverage it, powered by AI, if they are going to achieve the dual objectives of selling effectively through current channels, while simultaneously building the direct relationships they will need to establish new businesses like subscription services and other direct to consumer applications. If they don’t assimilate the data to create a clear picture of their shopper and their journey, Amazon definitely will," said Greg Murtagh, Co-Founder AIQ.
