Award-winning media strategy
Anchoring the media and intelligence branch of Quad’s agency offering is Chicago-based digital agency Rise, whose omnichannel media strategies have powered brands including Ulta Beauty, Stanley Steemer, the American Lung Association and more.
The agency’s proprietary intelligence platform, Connex®, was awarded the SAMMY Product of the Year by Business Intelligence Group. Connex has real-time data, transparency and cross-channel insights across major platforms like Google, Facebook and Amazon. Its automation capabilities deliver high-impact optimization and actionable insights, highlighting Rise’s dedication to leveraging advanced technology for exceptional client results.
It is this dedication to client results, specifically its work with Ulta Beauty on YouTube, that made Rise a finalist for the Global Digital Excellence Awards, under the category “Paid social media campaign of the year.”
This accolade, announced at the end of July, came just one month after Rise was named Marketing Agency of the Year by the Global Agency Awards, celebrating Rise’s commitment to innovation, creativity and client success in the dynamic world of marketing. Both awards come from Don’t Panic, a U.K.-based B2B events agency, and spotlight the achievements of agencies making significant contributions to the marketing industry.
“Our recognition is a celebration of our success pushing the boundaries of marketing with unwavering commitments to data transparency, measurement and putting people first,” says Howard Diamond, Senior Vice President and Head of Growth and Product at Rise. “I am immensely proud of our team’s hard work and the culture of excellence we’ve cultivated at Rise.”
