gsi interactive Rebrands as TrueAction on the Philosophy of Reflex Marketing
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - GSI Commerce Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIC) today introduced TrueActionTM,
the new face of its full-service agency. Formerly known as gsi
interactiveSM, TrueAction has provided digital marketing and
design solutions to industry-leading retailers and brands including the
NFL, GNC, kate spade, and Christopher & Banks. The new moniker reflects
the company's focus on offering innovative marketing solutions that have
driven millions of dollars in e-commerce transactions.
TrueAction's new brand identity represents the collective knowledge of
an agency built on understanding what turns users' attentions into
actions - actions that can grow brands, drive revenue, and deepen
relationships. Through the proper balance of TrueAction's strategy,
visual design, measurement, media, technology, and usability services,
the company has positioned itself as a comprehensive solution to a
constantly evolving digital marketplace.
"TrueAction, as a brand, is all about forging new ways of understanding
online consumers in order to maximize user satisfaction and client
revenue. Reflex Marketing is our philosophy that all actions have a
transactional value whether it be monetary, physical or emotional,"
explains TrueAction president Nick Pahade. "It's about the combination
of all disciplines into one true view of what users are doing and what
is helping them accomplish their tasks."
One TrueAction advancement is their state-of-the-art Usability Lab, a
Reflex Marketing tool developed by noted user-research expert Michael
Summers. Among many programs, the Usability Lab utilizes a live focus
group where real consumers can provide detailed feedback on aspects
including digital marketing, design, and functionality. The Usability
Lab includes the latest eyetracking and remote testing technologies that
allow TrueAction to help clients make decisions based on data not
assumptions. Click

"Understanding what makes someone 'truly' purchase anything is the key
to growth. By working with brands in ways that range the emotional and
transactional experience, we can understand why some ideas succeed and
others don't - whether it's a big concept or a small tweak to a design,"
said Dorian Sweet, TrueAction's vice president and executive creative
director.
TrueAction's rebranding follows a period of strong organic and strategic
growth including the recent opening of their New York City office. To
compliment their marketing services offering, GSI also acquired two
outside firms in 2009; a web site design and marketing firm based in the
San Francisco Bay area, Silverlign Group Inc., and Pepperjam, a
full-service affiliate marketing network.
"TrueAction, in the past year, has been building a powerful agency model
based on our e-commerce expertise and by hiring the best in the
industry." said Michael Rubin, CEO of GSI Commerce. "As GSI and its
companies continue to grow and expand, TrueAction's solutions reinforce
our commitment to driving more revenue for our client base."
