A Strategic Partnership with Leger

This well established and renowned new partner is now a minority shareholder in imarklab. “We signed this partnership to strengthen our intervention and diagnosis abilities in the study of customer experience across multiple channels, from the moment customers do a Google search until their store purchase, from price comparisons on their mobile phones to recommendations from Facebook friends,” pointed out Sylvain Sénécal, President of imarklab.

Originating from the RBC Financial Group Chair of Electronic Commerce at HEC Montréal, imarklab is a team of experienced professionals in the fields of interactive marketing and user experience. The synergy between imarklab and Leger allows for thoroughly integrated multichannel strategy: the power of linking interactive intelligence with traditional commercial channels.

To combine scientific and applied research allows us allows us to offer our customers the best of both worlds,” explained Jean-Marc-Léger, President of Leger.

With this strategic partnership, imarklab consolidates its growth and renews its leadership position as an expert in understanding digital and multichannel consumers’ minds and behaviors.
