Marketing Technology and Analytics Software Company Acoustic Expands Arkansas Presence

800-employee IBM spin-off plans Conway office space for Product & Engineering and Customer Success & Support team members

ATLANTA—December 16, 2021—Acoustic, L.P., the independent marketing cloud and analytics provider, announced today that it has secured office space in Conway, Arkansas. The new space, which has a capacity of 30 employees, will be the company’s third U.S. office and is representative of its commitment to a hybrid work environment. 

Acoustic, which is headquartered in Atlanta and has another physical office hub in Boston along with global offices in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, completed its carveout from IBM in 2020 and formed as a standalone company entirely remotely. As COVID restrictions have eased, the company has reintroduced in-person work environments, in a hybrid manner, for those who seek it. 

Eight employees are already based in the Conway area, and the company has near-term plans to hire an additional 15 team members locally, across Product & Engineering and Customer Success & Support. 

“The greater Conway region offers us an incredibly strong talent pool, and we’re enthusiastic about bringing both experienced Product & Engineering and Customer Success & Support professionals, as well as recent graduates of our fantastic local universities, into our Acoustic family,” said Chris Lanaux, Acoustic’s Conway-based Chief Product Officer. “Our corner of Arkansas is already an established technology center of the Southeast. I’m excited that we’ll soon have a physical office where our team can gather together in-person, on a hybrid basis, to build our portfolio of marketing technology and analytics products together.”  

Acoustic anticipates occupying its new space in January 2022. 

“I’ve spent some of the best years of my career working in Arkansas,” said Acoustic CEO Dennis Self. “The Conway area is a wonderful place to both live and work. As we emerged from being fully remote, we evaluated the best locations to invest in physical office space, and Conway was at the top of our list. This is an exciting time in Acoustic’s growth, and we’re thrilled to officially become a part of the local technology community.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
