IDC’s team of experts conducted this assessment, measuring success primarily by vendors’ capabilities and strategies. Judging criteria included offerings delivered, vendors’ range of services, innovation, and customer service delivery. Merkle scored as exceeding expectations in eight out of nine categories, particularly excelling in client empowerment, industry-specific capabilities, and value for money. IDC noted Merkle’s ability to draw on dentsu’s resources across media and creative in its activation of Adobe technology. The assessment also cites Merkle’s deep and longstanding relationship with Adobe, as well as Merkle’s Adobe-specialized employees (1,300+), as reasons for the company’s high ranking.
"At Merkle, our mission is to empower businesses to unlock the full potential of the Adobe platform, delivering personalized and impactful interactions that resonate deeply with clients,” says Pete Stein, Global President. “We are excited to receive this evaluation from IDC, confirming our excellence in Adobe products and services, our focus on driving tangible business results, and reaffirming our contributions that empower brands to thrive in the experience economy.”
