Dentsu became the first global agency network solution provider for WhatsApp Business, after announcing a global partnership with Meta. For WhatsApp, the company’s encrypted messaging platform, Dentsu will supply customer relationship management solutions. First launching in the UK, the partnership adapts to the changing ways in which consumers interact with brands, allowing businesses to provide more customized services and build stronger relationships with customers. Users of WhatsApp Business will have access control over who can access their accounts, as well as analytics and optimization tools provided by Merkle, Dentsu’s customer experience management subsidiary.
Dentsu and Meta have partnered to drive innovation and experimentation, resulting in significant improvements for their clients. The partnership is based on Dentsu’s three-way satisfaction in business, people, and society activities, or the Sanpo Yoshi principles. Every week, more than 200 million WhatsApp Business users use the platform to create hyper-personal, social, and conversational connections between brands and consumers. Dentsu’s clients will be able to further customize their customer engagement strategies to support their service, commerce, and loyalty experience journeys thanks to this innovative integration. With the help of its media, creative, customer, and data capabilities, Dentsu hopes to drive people-centered transformation and enable end-to-end business messaging solutions.
