Technology integration enables brands to apply insights from owned social programs to optimize and increase the impact of paid social advertising campaigns.

Paris (October 10, 2013) –  Tigerlily, the intelligent social media marketing platform and Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer (PMD) since 2011, today announced that it has integrated with Skai Social, a leading global social marketing platform and Facebook Strategic Preferred Marketing Developer (sPMD) for Facebook Ads with native access to the Facebook Exchange (FBX). The partnership offers brands an integrated Social Media Marketing solution for seamless creation, measurement and optimization of paid, owned (organic) and earned social media initiatives.

Tigerlily is using Skai Social to create, manage and optimize paid advertising programs for its social media marketing clients and  has integrated Skai Social tracking technology into the Tigerlily platform to enable the measurement of conversions and revenue resulting from  end customer interactions with owned social media posts.

“By combining Skai Social’s paid advertising data and the social relationship data generated through the Tigerlily platform, we provide ever more enlightening insights to clients, and offer them one of the most integrated Social Media Marketing SaaS solutions on the market. This functionality fosters a holistic approach to social content, focusing on providing brands with a comprehensive understanding of their social media initiatives across owned, earned or paid media.  Marketers can use the insights gained about communities through interactions with owned assets to enhance the impact of paid media, understanding how paid and owned activity combines to influence the  performance of their overall social marketing programs.
