Kirtland Capital Partners Announces the Rebranding of its Marketing Services Platform

A New Era in Marketing Calls for “Precision Dialogue” with Customers
New Company Formed to Provide Analytically Informed Multi-Channel Marketing

April 11, 2011
Cleveland, Ohio – Imagine you just received a large inheritance and placed it in your checking account.  You wonder about the best place to invest this newfound wealth.  The next day your bank sends you a personalized email, and two days later a direct mail piece, both talking about savings and investment options.  Then you receive a “customer care” call from the bank, asking if there is any way they might serve you better.  You decide to ask if they offer investment services – and they do.  The bank’s approach is so relevant to your situation it’s almost as if they knew about the extra-large deposit.  Which, of course, they did.

According to the business pundits, the future of marketing belongs to those companies that deliver relevant, personalized offers, at just the right time.  While the concept of “right message, right time” has been promoted in recent years, precious few companies have delivered.
Enter a new company to the marketing fray: Precision Dialogue – a firm intent on delivering the promise of customer relevance with a comprehensive, end-to-end solution.  Precision Dialogue clients not only know which customers to target with what message, they also rely on Precision Dialogue to deliver this message in an integrated, multi-channel manner. 

Precision Dialogue is the fast-growing parent of two operating companies: Metrics Marketing Group and Northwest Mailing Service. The company expects to expand its marketing platform by adding new companies over time. 

“We have a clear vision for the future, which is to offer unparalleled 1:1 marketing solutions to our clients,” explained Tom Ragen, CEO at Precision Dialogue.  “Very few companies are able execute a vertically integrated personalized marketing solution.  We are doing that today and expect to increase our depth the near future.”
