Voice Interactive Campaigns

Integrating Alexa and Google Assistant Into Marketing Campaigns

A New Promotion Channel

Extend your marketing impact with conversational engagement through Alexa and Google Assistant

Traditional web landing pages support marketing campaigns by facilitating deeper engagement with consumers and provide a direct conduit for conversion. XAPPmedia delivers Voice Interactive Campaigns (VICs) for brands that connect consumers with their ad campaigns through engagement with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. VICs leverage the tens of millions of smart speakers and hundreds of millions of voice connected devices to create direct conversational engagement with consumers at home, on the go and in the context of the campaign.

Voice Interactive Campaign Outcomes

EDUCATE

A common need for brands is to convey the brand and product story or related topic. VICs can deliver company or topical information in the context of a promotional campaign and enable consumers to interact with and select more information by voice.

PROMOTE

Some marketing campaigns include deals and discounts that change or are complex enough to benefit from explanation beyond a 30-second ad slot. VICs offer a vehicle to provide additional information to consumers and drive conversions. 

ENTERTAIN

Marketing strategies don’t always focus on a product or promotion. Sometimes the best way to engage consumers and stay top of mind is to entertain. Alexa and Google Assistant provide ideal vehicles to deliver entertaining content initiated by a brand conversation.

“NPR is a go-to source for news on smart speakers, and our sponsors want to engage that hard-to-reach audience. XAPP and Voice Interactive Campaigns allow sponsors to deliver thoughtful and informative extensions of their sponsor messages. It is a turn-key way for sponsors to further engage the NPR audience and enhance their campaigns, in a unique and innovative manner." - Bryan Moffett, COO National Public Media
