Studio Media Group has announced the acquisition of Darwin CX, a customer experience platform from ZoomerMedia, whose client offerings complement technologies and tools already available through Studio Media Group’s Palm Coast Data unit.

The leadership of Palm Coast Data and Darwin will be connected starting immediately. Current Darwin CX president and co-founder Laas Turnbull will serve as CEO of Darwin and Palm Coast Data.

Fellow Co-founder Michael Smith will serve as chief technology officer and head of innovation at both companies. Neil Gordon, longtime Palm Coast Data controller, has been promoted to group chief financial officer. Gary Blumenfeld, longtime Palm Coast Data executive, has been promoted to senior vice-president and general manager of Palm Coast Data.

Interim Palm Coast Data CEO and President John Meneough will transition to an advisory role.

In the past, publishers and membership organizations have had to wait weeks to understand how their customers behave before marketing campaigns could be refined. Now, Darwin CX and Palm Coast Data will use big data to instantly suggest campaigns based on real-time information, allowing clients to move more quickly and maximize results.

Palm Coast Data provides a mix of digital, online and traditional technologies that grow customer relationships—and increase revenue—for the nation’s leading magazine publishers, membership organizations and nonprofit organizations.

“Bringing these two companies together makes sense for so many reasons, chief among them that they both perform a number of critical functions extremely well,” Turnbull said. “In the end, the whole will be far, far greater than the sum of the parts.”
