Experian had the honor of celebrating innovative achievements in marketing with a few of our superstar clients at the 2016 Marketing&Tech Innovation Awards presented by Direct Marketing News and The Hub. The second annual awards program honors achievements in marketing leveraging data and technology. Three Experian Marketing Services’ client programs were recognized for their innovation in analytics, email marketing and omnichannel marketing. Hosted in New York City as part of the 2016 Marketing&Tech Innovation Summit, Delta, Golf Golfsmith International, Delta Airlines and American Eagle Outfitters were all recognized alongside Experian for innovative marketing campaigns that used the Experian Marketing Suite, a flexible cloud-based marketing platform. What’s hard to believe is how much marketing has changed due to data technology… and much of the credit for innovation within the space goes to the exceptional tech talent. Experian Marketing Services’ chief technology officer, Emad Georgy was recognized with a “2016 Star of MarTech” award for Marketing Technologist of the year. Through the development of the Experian Marketing Suite, Georgy created a marketing product that allows the interactions between a brand and its customers to be meaningful and engaging, every time.

Does knowing where fraud takes place matter? That is the question we asked ahead of compiling data from 2015 to show where billing and shipping fraud attacks occur in the United States. The answer is Yes, it does matter. With more than 13 million fraud victims in 2015,[1] assessing where fraud occurs is an important layer of verification when performing real-time risk assessments for e-commerce. Experian analyzed millions of e-commerce transactions to identify fraud attack rates across the United States for both shipping and billing locations. You can view the map to see the attack rates for all states and download the top 100 ZIP Code rankings as well. Click here for the highlights and the findings.
