Oktopost Joins the Act-On Developer Network With Latest Integration to Enrich Lead Data With Social Insight(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/15/14 -- Oktopost, a social media marketing platform designed for B2B marketers, today announced it has joined the Act-On Developer Network and has built an integration to the Act-On marketing automation platform to help marketers increase social lead conversion. The integration transfers social intelligence from campaign activity in Oktopost to the Act-On marketing automation system, allowing for enhanced lead segmentation, nurturing and scoring. Social media has grown increasingly critical to marketing, but its business value hasn't always been clear. By tracking social conversions, marketers can directly attribute leads to specific social media channels and/or campaigns, and more easily calculate the return on investment. This latest integration helps to close a process gap that marketers have long struggled with -- providing an end-to-end solution for social marketing conversion and revenue attribution. "Leveraging the Act-On/Oktopost integration has completely revolutionized our approach to B2B social marketing," said Mark Donkin, Marketing Director at SuccessFlow. "We now have complete transparency through tracking of social marketing activity by campaign all the way through to lead conversion. We're looking forward to Oktopost and Act-On continuing to support the achievement of our marketing goals and those of our clients." Social clicks are one of the strongest indicators of a lead's interest in a product or brand. With the Act-On/Oktopost integration, marketers can leverage this data in Act-On to: Deliver hyper-targeted email campaigns Nurture leads based on social criteria Include social engagement in overall lead score Understand social conversion rates, channel and/or campaign revenue attribution With this integration, marketers are now able to leverage social activity for optimized lead nurturing and scoring -- pulling in raw social data to enrich lead profiles in Act-On, and gaining greater insight into their leads' overall interest.
