Netcore Solutions, a global Marketing Technology company today announced that ‘The Star Online’, the flagship brand of ‘Star Media Group Berhad’, a Malaysia-based organisation has partnered with its AI-powered behavioural analytics and multi-channel customer engagement suite – Netcore Smartech. The Omni-channel Marketing Automation feature of Netcore Smartech will help ‘The Star Online’ to consolidate customer communications on a single platform and further orchestrate their marketing campaigns as per a customer’s channel and device preferences.
Since its launch on June 23, 1995, as Malaysia’s first news website, The Star Online has always striven to provide readers with up-to-date breaking news, compelling content and insightful opinions.
