NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acoustic officially debuted today as the largest independent marketing cloud, offering marketers purpose-built solutions on the industry’s most exciting and open marketing platform. Formed by Centerbridge Partners’ acquisition of IBM’s marketing and commerce software offerings, Acoustic launches with a total focus on unleashing the brilliance in marketers by empowering them with freedom to do their best work. Led by an experienced team including former IBM executives, Acoustic enters the industry with market position, customer scale, and a proven technology platform.
Today’s marketing challenges can be overwhelming with copious amounts of data and siloed, mediocre tools. The Acoustic name represents the organization’s commitment to listening, understanding, and solving these complex challenges with intuitive technology that gives brands the power to resonate with audiences in a more personal way. Acoustic believes every marketer has the capacity to be brilliant when provided with products that are just as good as they are.

Driven by a vision to transcend the ordinary, Acoustic’s AI-powered products are designed to remove friction and deliver a more consistent experience to the market, while still fiercely championing and protecting the privacy customers want.

As an independent company, our goal is to bring back a personal approach to the art of marketing by investing in products that work together across the entire marketing ecosystem to help enhance creativity and truly move people,” said Mark Simpson, Acoustic’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our new name is a symbol of our ability to create environments that draw people in, inviting closer and more personal connections.
