Oracle adds SMS aggregator to Responsys

The SMS Public Aggregator Network aims to allow marketers to find, order and manage an SMS aggregator inside Responsys.

According to the vendor, a marketer can send the SMS message to the aggregator through Responsys, and the aggregator sends the message to the carriers in its network. Oracle screens the aggregators first, and the platform allows a marketer to buy credits that can be used for any messaging, including app push notifications or email, as well as SMS.

Examples include program design, legacy program auditing, a loyalty optimiser, social listening, look-a-like modelling, behavioural segmentation, points concierge and digital auditing.

“Brands need a data-driven approach to solve loyalty program challenges. Our new products are a place for brands to begin that conversation before making a huge investment. Maritz’ solutions not only solve a wide range of problems, they are also proven to create value and provide actionable results,” said Maritz Loyalty product manager, Jamie Schwartz.

G Suite is an ‘A’ player tool.”

Marketing prowess versus the enigma of the metaverse

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space.
