Econolite Group Selects Vocus Marketing Suite as Its Integrated Marketing Hub

Leading transportation and traffic management company consolidates its marketing initiatives into one powerful marketing automation platform

Vocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: VOCS), a leading provider of cloud-based marketing and public relations software, customer Econolite Group, Inc. uses the Vocus Marketing Suite to strengthen its position as a leader and authoritative resource among engineers, publications, elected officials and decision makers within the transportation industry.

“Vocus enables us to leverage a single source for most of our marketing and communications needs,” explained Econolite Group Director of New Media Frank Provenzano. “Before Vocus, we contracted with multiple service providers. Now we can easily send out emails, distribute press releases, and track the results of all our efforts with one tool.

To integrate multiple tactics, Econolite Group uses the suite’s Campaign Management tool to centralize its email marketing, social media outreach, press release distribution, and other activities, as well as assess the effectiveness of each channel in real time.

News Releases help Econolite Group position itself as a thought leader among its target audience. Vocus’ news releases feed to major search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing. They’re also sent to major trade publications in the transportation industry.

Econolite Group’s marketing team uses the solution’s Integrated Email functionality for segmenting, building messages, A/B testing and email tracking to keep its audience up-to-date and informed about the company’s news and resources.

The company began using the Vocus Marketing Suite in January 2013.
