Molecular and Old Mutual Asset Management Extend Nine-Year Relationship
Firms Collaborate to Bring Innovative Interactive Solutions to Financial Services Industry
Watertown, Mass., June 16, 2008 — Molecular, a top interactive agency, and Old Mutual Asset Management (OMAM), a leading asset management firm, announced today that they have signed a joint contract to renew their nearly decade-old partnership to drive online innovation in the financial services arena.
“Our commitment to excellence demands we work with the best companies in the business,” said Tom McLain, senior vice president at OMAM. “We’ve collaborated with Molecular for many years and we view them as a valued business partner. Molecular continues to help us use technology to maximize our customer interactions and differentiate our products and services.”
OMAM has partnered with Molecular since 1999 to facilitate various functions through their online channel. In a sign of mutual commitment to this partnership, Molecular maintains a core team working at OMAM’s Boston office. The Molecular team works closely with the client to understand their online needs then works with the OMAM technical team to design and deliver solutions that meet those needs.
In the last year, Molecular collaborated with Old Mutual Capital (OMCAP), the retail brand of Old Mutual, to consolidate and redesign its web site (www.oldmutualfunds.com), giving financial advisors and individual investors rapid access to investment and product information. Molecular developed an innovative and content-rich site that provides a single online point of entry into all of OMCAP’s investment products and services. The site, with separate portals for financial professionals and individual investors, supports the different features specific to the needs of each audience while unifying the brand online.
“It is a privilege to work with such a trusted and respected brand as Old Mutual,” said Howard Kogan, president of Molecular. “In every client engagement, our goal is to help clients fully realize the value of their business online, and we are proud to have provided solutions and services that help Old Mutual accomplish this end. As we move into this next phase of our relationship, we look forward to working with them to identify and leverage new opportunities through further innovation while continuing to strengthen their customer relationships in the online channel.”
