NEW YORK, NY – MARCH 16, 2017 – OMNIGON (www.omnigon.com), digital partners with many of the most important global brands in the sports, media and entertainment industries, announced an exclusive partnership today with Shareablee (https://www.shareablee.com), a company with the world’s largest system of brand performance data across social platforms and industry standard metrics. With this partnership, clients of both companies will have access to the complementary and additive service portfolio the other offers.
“OMNIGON is the best in its class at building new product suites to amplify and drive fan engagement for its sports and entertainment fanbases,” said Shareablee Founder and CEO, Tania Yuki. “We’re excited to tap into those fanbases with Shareablee’s unique ability to measure and analyze all brand social interactions across the web and package engagement data into actionable directives to help grow our clients’ social presence.”
“We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Shareablee,” said Igor Ulis, OMNIGON’s Chief Executive Officer. “Shareablee’s reputation in the industry as an innovator and an influencer is unparalleled as the services, capabilities and results they deliver on behalf of their partners are unprecedented. We believe this partnership will help elevate OMNIGON to the next level as it creates an even stronger value proposition for us within the industry and will allow us to super serve new and existing partners in exciting ways.”
Highlighting the expertise of both companies, they launched a bracket encouraging users to vote on who they think is the college basketball team with the greatest social media presence. The March Madness Engagement Bracket is powered by BracketPro, part of OMNIGON’s fan engagement product suite.
Like with the NCAA’s March Madness tournament, kicking off this Thursday, March 16 with the round of 64, this bracket will also feature 64 teams. Fans will vote on which teams they think will garner a higher social engagement, and the team with the overall likes, comments, shares and retweets on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram will advance.
Data is pulled from the Shareablee platform that has direct API access to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The Products team at OMNIGON developed ProSuite, which includes BracketPro, as a set of fan engagement tools to help partners deliver unique, compelling experiences that are customizable, quick to launch, and satisfy brands’ sponsorship initiatives.
“Over the years clients would ask us to develop custom products that can be monetized, drive engagement across social platforms and be sold as an offering to sponsors and advertisers,” said Nick Arcuri, OMNIGON’s VP of Product. “The ProSuite products are a result of that need as they are fully customizable, user friendly, and take little time to launch. We are thrilled BracketPro is leveraged to announce the partnership between OMNIGON and Shareablee, especially given its timeliness.”
All ProSuite products have numerous sponsorship and advertising placement options and are fully customizable. Other features include:
- Fully responsive design to work across all devices
- Supports versatile content like in-line video, GIF or static image highlights
- Social integration
- Robust statistics featuring voting, page views and social shares in real-time
- Supports standard and page view-based takeover ads
- Multi-language support
