In today’s highly competitive and consumer centric marketplace; employing technology, data and analytics
to increase growth, revenue and ROI is a must to create differentiation and stay on top. Real-time actionables
are instrumental in driving results within a highly fragmented marketplace. Annalect’s teams and solutions/

technology and analytics mean something to a client’s KPIs.
Working with numerous Fortune 50 clients from all brand categories, and drawing from the vast parent

Annalect was created to foster a “maker community.” If a client has a problem and a solution doesn’t
currently exist, Annalect will work to create it and add value to that client’s business. The Annalect offering is
an end-to-end marketing technology solution that begins with data and ends in activation. There are several
key players within each discipline that steward this process. The end result for clients is value.
