"With voice-enabled speaker usage expected to grow by 130% this year, I think it's safe to say that we're entering a new era of customer communication, where people are empowered to use their voice instead of feeling limited to an online-only experience," said Gregg Johnson, CEO of Invoca. "The impact of this on the customer journey will only intensify, making the disconnect between online and offline channels a C-level problem for many businesses. This is in part validated by the world's biggest digital advertisers - Facebook and Google - investing more in tools to tie revenue to calls, such as their offline conversions APIs, and even Facebook's decision to create a special designation for partners specializing in offline conversions." 

"At Adobe, we're dedicated to providing businesses with the tools to create seamless customer experiences across channels and devices, online and offline," said Lance Dobson, account manager, media and advertising solutions at Adobe. "There aren't many events that bring together marketers who understand the opportunity to drive more value from offline conversations, which is why I'm especially excited to speak and network at Invoca's Call Intelligence Summit this week."
