Helping brands scale digitally and optimize marketing to ensure their investment delivers on meaningful results: Arke

Brand experience is the key for business that want to achieve growth. For this, a customer-centric strategy is based on a series of tactics that aim to make the most of different trends and channels. With this said, for those involved with building a brand, there are certain challenges to keep in mind that are essential to your success. Among these challenges, the most difficult is achieving an integrated marketing strategy. In the light on foregoing, we introduce you to Arke.

Arke is a brand experience consultancy specializing in strategic implementations of marketing technology solutions. The company is building on its roots in technology and experience design to drive the next generation of experience focused businesses. By leveraging the right people, processes, marketing technologies, and data, we produce measurable results.

How it all started

Two software developers at Turner Broadcasting started a company to improve brand experience through intelligent recommendations and implementation of marketing technology. Arke was born.

In the decade since, CEO Eric Stoll and CTO Chris Spears prioritized hiring hard-working, smart, fun, authentic people. They balanced attitude and aptitude. Company legends were born about pickles, and shrimp (both worth an ask). Today Arke specializes in strategic brand experience and marketing technology. The consultancy designs, builds, and manages digital brand experiences.

Services you can count on

Marketing by numbers: Arke’s culture is rooted in data analysis. It’s the secret sauce of digital marketing. Data services and stewardship are invaluable parts of our practice.

However promising the marketing strategy, customer behavior analytics ultimately reveal its effectiveness. Capturing, analyzing, and leveraging data insights can improve every touch – from email, to website, CRM, and user experience.

Everything starts with strategy: Marketing is only as effective as the strategy behind it. Arke clarifies business goals to build best-in-class plans to drive engagement, revenue and advocacy.

The company can execute against your fully-developed strategy, or lead plan development. As an impartial third party, we can help build consensus across departments, providing the systems and solutions stakeholders need to support success.

The new face of the brand: From desktop, to mobile, to point of sale, every touchpoint creates customer perceptions and expectations. Great customer experience is no longer a nice to have. It’s a must-have. This last mile of marketing can bring a brand to life – or invalidate even the best strategy.

Customers use multiple channels, and want to be recognized as they move between. Successful brands recognize and reward this behavior with consistent, personalized experiences. Arke can help bridge the gaps between channels, eliminating redundant data entry, and the customer frustration it causes. This holistic approach lets you recognize and reward customers however they experience your brand.
