OgilvyOne Launches Pageflex-Powered
Campaign Director to Worldwide Market for Online Brand Management
New York, NY — March 9, 2004 — Today at On Demand, OgilvyOne
and Pageflex (NASDAQ:
BITS) launched the OgilvyOne Campaign Director, a revolutionary
new online collateral customization solution, powered by Pageflex
technology, that provides better, faster and cheaper ways for clients
to activate global marketing communications campaigns . The decision
to launch OgilvyOne Campaign Director to the worldwide market reflects
the commitment of OgilvyOne to remain on the forefront of technological
advances that enable clients to deploy marketing and advertising collateral
through global channels. OgilvyOne has been using Pageflex technology
for several years now to power full scale online channel management
programs for five global clients, in the technology, financial,
retail, and healthcare industries. The success of these client-focused
efforts led to the development of OgilvyOne Campaign Director, a
standardized platform designed to meet the global command and control
needs of OgilvyOne clients.
"OgilvyOne offers brand management services that include a
program for centralized brand management and distributed channel
access," says Mark Schlief, Managing Director, OgilvyOne e-Marketing.
"Technology is clearly a key strategic element of such a program
and choosing the right components is essential. As the Ogilvy &
Mather Worldwide unit responsible for defining strategic technology
direction, OgilvyOne developed the Campaign Director platform and
chose Pageflex as a key enabling technology. Without Pageflex, we
would not have this tool."
OgilvyOne Campaign Director provides clients with centralized brand
management and localized customization for multi-channel marketing
communications. Local channels can access corporate marketing and
advertising collateral online from a centralized web site. With
appropriate permissions, a local sales channel can customize materials
online creating and ordering point-of-purchase materials, brochures,
advertisements, and personalized print or E-mail campaigns. Corporate
command and control is achieved through the design of flexible templates
that lock down portions of the document from editing as well as
though centralized management of collateral design and channel access,
providing the ability to monitor and manage marketing spend. OgilvyOne
Campaign Director is re-branded for each of its clients to provide
end user access to corporate marketing materials through the client's
own corporate web site.
A key element of the OgilvyOne model is global channel management.
This requires not only global access but internationalization, including
multi-lingual interfaces and output. "The fact that Pageflex
supports deployment in 62 languages is very important to us,"
comments Schlief. "Without this, achieving a global solution
would be impossible." OgilvyOne Campaign Director is currently
deployed in six major languages and eleven countries, serving local
sales channels in their own languages.
"Pageflex technology has been architected from the ground
up for the sophisticated design and corporate management needs of
global marketing," says Anna Chagnon, Pageflex CEO. "OgilvyOne
takes full advantage of these capabilities with Campaign Director
and we're excited to be providing the key enabling technology that
makes it all possible."
For the first time in a public forum, Mark Schlief from OgilvyOne
will be presenting OgilvyOne Campaign Director in New York this
week at On Demand. He is speaking on Tuesday afternoon, March 9
th , in the Digital Marketing Symposium conference.
