PHILADELPHIA, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 -- Monetate, a leading provider of cloud-based personalization technology for online marketers, has seen a spike in demand for its real-time personalization services from the travel and hospitality sector, as travel marketers seek to create better online experiences that engender customer loyalty and increase booking rates. The company added 30 new enterprise travel brands in the 3rd quarter of 2012, including Frontier Airlines and Starwood Hotels.

To underscore its commitment to the travel sector, Monetate recently added travel industry veteran Gene Quinn to its Strategic Advisory Board. A pioneer in digital media and the former chairman of PhoCusWright, Quinn was previously General Manager of the Tribune Company's team that made early-stage investments in America Online, Checkfree, Open Market, Excite, iVillage and Peapod in the mid-1990s. He also served as the first senior vice president, online and interactive at MTV Networks where he led a team that developed web platforms for global entertainment brands like MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon and TVLand.

"There is a huge opportunity for online travel marketers to harness Big Data, better understand their customers and personalize each shopping experience," said Quinn. "The objective is to become a better travel merchandiser by driving sales and revenues with the right offer, at the right price, to the traveler. Brands that are not focused on merchandising through personalization will be less efficient, incur more multi-channel costs and be at a competitive disadvantage."
