Redwood Shores, Calif. – March 7, 2014
News SummaryWith paid social media becoming a larger portion of marketers’ media portfolios, Oracle Social Cloud announces an open API-based paid media solution to deliver customers more choice, flexibility and industry-leading expertise. Social advertising platform leaders Kenshoo, Nanigans and SHIFT have been chosen as inaugural launch partners.

News Facts Oracle Social Cloud announces its open API strategy for paid media solutions to deliver customers more choice, flexibility and ongoing expertise for their paid social media capabilities. Delivering on the needs of modern marketers, the open strategy lays the groundwork for marketers to develop comprehensive Social CRM.
The new strategy delivers integration between Oracle’s Social Relationship Management (SRM) platform and the partners’ technology to enable connection and collaboration between content creation and management in SRM to promoting that content within the partners’ ad technology platform. A demo of the paid media solution can be viewed here.
Kenshoo, Nanigans and SHIFT are leaders in the advertising technology space and were chosen based on criteria including platform capabilities, technology innovation, strategic partnerships with major social networks, customer base and scale capabilities.
Other key advantages to the API partner strategy include:
Technology Expertise: SRM customers will quickly benefit from years of focused development in the social paid media space by our chosen partners.
Analytics: Comprehensive analytics will be available to users through SRM and partner sites, helping users understand the metrics and results behind paid, owned and earned content.
Coordination & Collaboration: Oracle SRM’s workflow functionality will enable better coordination and conversation between the community manager (owned and earned content), and the agency or media manager (paid content), facilitating a more efficient and effective use of the owned, earned and paid media equation.
Custom Audiences: Customers will be able to take advantage of SRM’s Custom Audiences capability via Oracle Marketing Cloud integrations.
Social a Growing Piece of Digital Ad Pie According to eMarketer, 2014 will be the year marketers begin to master the art of engaging with media multitaskers—often via social. eMarketer predicts social’s slice of the digital ad pie will approach 12 percent in the U.S., up from 8 percent in 2012, and nearly 9 percent worldwide, up from 7 percent in 2012.1
As marketing moves increasingly toward becoming real-time and right-time, enterprise marketers need to be able to quickly and seamlessly create varied content often with multiple agencies or employees involved.
