“The most critical points in a customer journey are the moments when an individual interacts with one of our client’s brands,” said Harte Hanks CEO Robert Philpott. “Harte Hanks believes the relevance and connectivity of these interactions are fundamental to driving marketing performance. 3Q Digital strengthens our capabilities and expertise to effectively manage these interactions in the paid digital world.”
