Attentive.ly helps businesses turn existing customers into their #1 acquisition channel. How it works: Your Customers + Email-Social Match + Enterprise Listening + Marketing Automation = Rocketed Marketing ROI. The Attentively dashboard quickly reveals the “influencers” on an email list, what topics are trending among that key audience, and who is talking about the brand (or competitors). Monitor customer behavior across the social web to identify upsell opportunities or power a loyalty program. Social marketing automation tools let our customers trigger multi-channel communications (email, social, ads) to just the right customer at just the right time.

Cheryl Contee, cofounder of Attentively, has over 15 years of award-winning interactive expertise. Both Huffington Post & Black Enterprise have named her as a Top Female Founder in Tech to Follow on Twitter and she was one of Fast Company's 2010 Most Influential Women in Tech.
