Omnicom's FleishmanHillard and Resolution Media Partner To Launch Data-Driven Content Suite At SxSW 2015

NEW YORK and AUSTIN, Texas, March 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Omnicom's FleishmanHillard and Resolution Media today announced the launch of StoryConnect @Omnicom, a data-driven, socially-enabled content and advertising center, for the South by Southwest Interactive Festival (SxSW), held March 13-17 in Austin, TX.

StoryConnect @Omnicom will help make big data small by tracking and reacting to top social trends and topics at SXSW, helping Omnicom clients, attendees, and non-attendees alike cut through the noise to get to the insights that matter most to them. Combining the audience segmentation and performance marketing expertise of Resolution Media with the visualization and content expertise of FleishmanHillard, StoryConnect @Omnicom is a system of creative storytelling where the production, publication and consumption of branded content is measured in real-time and over time.

Leveraging four modules (FH's ContentWorks and TrueIQ, and Resolution Media's ClearTarget™ and [email protected]) at a global holding company scale ensures that all Omnicom agencies can utilize the system. StoryConnect @Omnicom also builds upon the successful work that Annalect, which houses Resolution Media, has done to-date to use data and technology to drive greater precision and efficiency in reaching clients' target audiences with impactful content.

"In this always-on, always-connected world, marketers face more complexity that ever before," said Jonathan Nelson, CEO of Omnicom Digital. "StoryConnect is a great example of our creative, media, and digital teams, working side-by-side, leveraging data and analytics to help inform the planning and production of real-time and relevant content for our clients."
