ONEcount Partners with Upland and SFS to Offer Integrated Best-of-Breed Audience Activation Stack

Coral Springs, FL, February 21, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Three legendary audience technology providers have announced an integrated audience tool suite that provides media brands with best-of-breed technology with a “single vendor” feel.

ONEcount’s Customer Data Platform (CDP) Tech Stack, Upland’s PostUp best-in-class Email Marketing Solution and Specialized Fulfillment Services (SFS) expert Fulfillment Services are now working together to provide media companies with a single, unified solution built with state-of-the-art technology.

“Until now, customers were faced with a choice of having mediocre tools that were cobbled together by a single vendor, or having to navigate complex integrations between best-of-breed technology vendors across the audience stack,” said Sean Fulton, Vice President of ONEcount.

Through this unique partnership, the three vendors have committed to work together to provide a truly integrated customer experience but with the best technology on the market. Connections between the platforms have already been established, which eliminates the need for customers to figure out how to connect the different platforms.

“Because we understand how the pieces seamlessly fit together behind the scenes, we’re often able to solve problems more quickly and with less complexity than if the customer tried to manage it on their own,” Fulton added.

Most customer will have a better experience than working with a single vendor. Instead of queries being relegated to Jira tickets, customers have three project managers, any one of whom can act as the single point of contact on any issue.

PostUP and ONEcount have been working together on mutual clients for seven years; SFS has been working with Upland for many years and with ONEcount since last fall. Combined, the companies have 90 years of combined industry experience.

“Landing an email in the inbox is becoming more difficult, and that's both a challenge and an opportunity. Data is at the heart of driving attributable email success, and we have deliverability and strategy experts focused on exactly that. PostUp is a feature rich, AI-enhanced, Email platform, which, when combined with our experts, is a powerful solution helping media organizations of all sizes achieve the measurable results they want,” said Nick Certa, VP Sales Audience Engagement of Upland.

“In a very tough publishing landscape where technology and partnership can make the difference between profitability and failure. We’re thrilled to offer our customers and prospects a top-notch, seamless solution that addresses the typical challenges associated with adopting new technologies and platforms,” said Joe Lunne, President of Specialized Fulfillment Services.
