PALM BEACH, Florida, April 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary 

Active tech companies entrenched in the massive social media industry are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) in order to bolster marketing opportunities for increasing current revenue streams while entering a new age of multi-platform integrated marketing operations. The influence of AI in social media cannot be understated, as brands are leveraging "bots" and other automated platforms to forge lasting relationships with customers while greatly improving analytics for identifying the latest marketing trends among consumers. According to research by Gartner, AI bots will power 85% of all customer service interactions within two years. Companies now have the ability to analyze to their advantage the effectiveness of ad placements across multi-platforms, obtain valid data references for the selection of media channels and further optimize their marketing budget allocation. Active companies in the markets this week include Engagement Labs (TSX-V: EL) (OTC: ELBSF), Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR), Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), Salesforce.com Inc. (NYSE:CRM), Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL).

Engagement Labs (TSX-V: EL.V) (OTCQB: ELBSF) BREAKING NEWS : Engagement Labs successfully launched its TotalSocial® data and analytics platform in the fall 2016. Over the last 18 months, the platform has exceeded expectations achieving more than CAD $7.3 million in contracts with a diverse group of Fortune 500 companies and brands, proving the broad appeal of TotalSocial. Clients have been signed across nine verticals, including beauty, dining, financial services, health and nutrition, media, retail, telecom, software and sports.

"I am very encouraged by the fact that industry leading brands are gaining a marketing and analytics advantage by utilizing our TotalSocial platform," says Ed Keller, CEO of Engagement Labs. "Further, the range of verticals is an indication of the wide appeal of TotalSocial, providing the opportunity to grow within sectors where the Company already has clients, as well as through new verticals that continue to open up."

The first TotalSocial client, a major global beauty brand, signed a new 2018 contract valued at USD $700,000 (CAD $875,000), the biggest contract since Engagement Labs launched TotalSocial. Engagement Labs works with the client to provide continuous scoring and diagnostics for marketing and social media campaigns in 10 markets around the world including in Europe, Latin America and Asia.

In addition to securing new clients, the Company is pursuing a growth strategy offering upsell opportunities to existing clients. The strategy proved successful in Q1 of 2018 with several contract expansions.

"Retaining and growing our client base is a main focus for 2018," says Steven Brown, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Engagement Labs, who's hiring in December 2017 is a key element in the company's investment in growth. "As one example, we recently announced that a major telecom client made a long-term commitment in 2018 and increased its annual spending with us by 100 percent. Having experienced the value we bring and uncovering the predictive nature of our data, they expanded their relationship with us to include a second major national brand."

TotalSocial is the only platform that combines online data about brand conversations that take place via social media, with offline conversation data. The platform has a proprietary 10-year database of offline conversation built by Engagement Labs, the only such source of offline data about brands. These data sets feed the company's predictive analytics engine, which uses proprietary algorithms and Artificial Intelligence/machine learning to forecast future sales and provide marketers with better insights, improved marketing ROI and increased sales.
