CSI to Invest More in B2B Payments for Advertising and Media

CSI | December 22, 2020

Corporate Spending Innovations (CSI) has reported that it will spend more to support its cloud-based administrations for B2B payments for advertising and media needs, an organization public statement says.

President David Disque considered it a "key focus" for the organization to help put resources into media payments, which could support speed and productivity.

“This investment in innovation will enable CSI to continue to advance our market-leading position in media and advertising — delivering solutions that increase efficiency, reduce costs, and bring transparency and real-time analytics to all media payments (digital, TV, outdoor, print, and radio).”

CSI works with a few huge media platforms and has worked with organizations of all sizes for quite a long time, the delivery says. The organization is channeling capital into item advancement and is turning out more approaches to amplify card spend improvement.

Liane Sanson, divisional president of media sales and operations, said the organization was " launching exciting enhancements to our data analytics solution that will take actionable data to the next level for our clients and partners,” the release says.

“Our goals are to enhance the customer’s experience and provide transparency and accountability on CSI’s efforts in an interactive way,” she said, according to the release. “We plan to deliver vital data that will assist CFOs in making more informed decisions on targeting suppliers, optimizing payment mix, increasing spend, and improving cash flow.”

Disque, keeping in touch with PYMNTS recently, said the main change made in light of the pandemic has been the need to move to advanced methods for payments. He said the organization put a high need on conveying unmistakably about the digital payments circumstance and the advantages of working distantly.

Valuedynamx Announces New Pay with Points Solution to Help Brands More Effectively and Frequently Engage Loyalty Program Members

businesswire | August 03, 2023

As the battle for customer loyalty and engagement rages, Valuedynamx, a leading global provider of curated, data-driven omnichannel purchase rewards, has announced its new “Pay with Points” solution that enables enterprises with points- or miles-based loyalty programs (such as airlines, banks or credit card issuers) to offer more robust reward options via Valuedynamx’s massive, ever-growing global network of merchant partners. The Pay with Points program offers loyalty program participants more choice to redeem their points for aspirational or everyday purchases from brands they love, and opportunities to use their points more often for smaller-dollar options. Pay with Points empowers loyalty program members to redeem their points for currency (e.g., eGift cards) from hundreds of carefully curated, popular merchant and restaurant brands (e.g., fashion, technology, food and beverage, travel and experiences)—even if those brands are not the ones through which they have earned points. It also drives more frequent loyalty program participation and brand engagement along the way. The fully digital program delivers reward currency in real time for frictionless redemption and spending experiences in-store or online. “Our new Pay with Points solution is a more robust redemption option for the loyalty industry, and delivers optimal value for consumers, our clients and our partners. Research continues to show that shoppers are actively seeking out deals—particularly loyalty points offers—to help offset inflation and other economic challenges, so this solution could not be more timely,” said Kelli Hobbs, VP, Head of US Business Development at Valuedynamx. “People value flexibility and choice in their rewards, and appreciate being able to use their rewards the way they want. Pay with Points optimizes loyalty program participation for consumers, and will help businesses capture and captivate their target audiences as brand loyalty wanes.” Pay with Points solves for common pain points consumers often associate with reward programs because it enables loyalty program members to select their own rewards based on their personal preferences. The exchange and redemption process is quick and simple, and it includes lower redemption thresholds so members have more opportunities to earn and spend. For instance, it may take a long time for a consumer to earn enough points through an airline loyalty program for a free flight. But having the option to redeem those airline loyalty points for lower-cost options from other brands provides greater choice and delights customers. Additionally, Pay with Points eliminates friction for reward program managers looking to drive engagement and program ROI within well-established or emerging programs that reach a broad customer base. The range of reward options fit a wide breadth of member preferences, and members can access their balance regularly from just about anywhere—cultivating relationships and reducing the risk of participation dormancy. The frequent engagement opportunities help drive brand affinity and customer lifetime value, broadening brand reach, driving incremental spend and opening up cross- and up-sell engagement opportunities. Thanks to its extensive global network of retail and card provider partners, Valuedynamx offers real-time program functionality seamlessly delivered locally, regionally, nationally or internationally.

DeepIntent Launches DeepIntent Copilot, AI-Powered Recommendations and Insights to Usher in New Intelligent DSP

PR Newswire | September 12, 2023

Healthcare advertising technology leader DeepIntent announced the launch of DeepIntent Copilot, a groundbreaking step toward more integrated and intelligent healthcare advertising using connected artificial intelligence (AI). Seamlessly bridging media spend and clinical outcomes, Copilot is a new tool that works alongside marketers to offer actionable insights and recommendations that optimize marketing decisions and drive more relevant connections with patients and healthcare providers (HCPs) across the path to prescription. Driven in part by digital access, patients are now active participants in their health journey, offering pharma marketers more opportunities to activate cohesive, data-driven strategies across patients and their HCPs. However, that data is often siloed within numerous point solutions, which makes it challenging for brands to know they're reaching the right HCP and patient audiences with maximum efficiency and performance. Additionally, their investments are equally fragmented across various channels and partners, each with nuances that often result in measurements that are too delayed to be actionable. DeepIntent's unique ability to connect data across planning, activation, and measurement has already begun to solve these challenges. DeepIntent Copilot builds on this foundation using generative and connected AI to create an interactive experience that surfaces meaningful insights and recommendations based on real-time media data tied to clinical outcomes. The result is a platform that empowers healthcare marketers to streamline campaign activation and focus their media investments on the audiences and strategies that drive measurable growth and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Examples of DeepIntent Copilot driving performance and efficiency include: Pre-optimizing campaigns with audience recommendations that maximize performance against specific goals, like audience quality and verified patient reach Maximizing media investment during activation with campaign and channel insights rooted in real-world clinical outcomes Generating recommendations to traders for enhancing scale and performance forHCP and patient campaigns Evaluating the value of millions of ad opportunities per second and prioritizing those that drive higherAQ and increase scripts "AI remains artificial unless you have fully integrated data and solution connectivity, which DeepIntent's platform provides. DeepIntent Copilot marks the dawn of a new category of DSP: an intelligent DSP which supercharges all existing advantages of a healthcare DSP with AI. Our platform already allowed marketers to do it all in one place. By having AI everywhere, we simplify campaign planning and reduce the time required to achieve positive ROI by giving marketers and their agencies the tools they need to be dynamic. This allows them to detect and anticipate changes in the marketplace and adapt their campaigns and strategies in real-time," said Chris Paquette, Founder and CEO of DeepIntent.

About DeepIntent With a core belief that advertising technology can measurably improve the lives of patients, DeepIntent is leading the healthcare advertising industry into the future.
