Brainshark Extends Voice to Surveys with Zoomerang Partnership

Integration Wraps Context Around the Survey Experience
BOSTON, MA – July 20, 2006 – Brainshark, Inc., the leader in on-demand rich media communications solutions, today announced that it is teaming with Zoomerang, the leader in online surveys, to deliver voice-enabled surveys. Under the terms of the partnership, the two companies will jointly market Brainshark Express for Zoomerang as a customized solution that allows users to easily embed a Zoomerang survey within the context of any Brainshark presentation or online course.

Through this integration, any Brainshark user with a Zoomerang account can quickly create an on-demand presentation complete with a Zoomerang Survey. By combining Zoomerang’s advanced survey capabilities with Brainshark’s on-demand presentation solution, users will be able to:

  • Rapidly deploy surveys wrapped in voice-enriched presentations
  • Increase quality and relevance of survey feedback by adding context and examples
  • Expand the scope of surveys to those complex topics that require explanation and demonstration
  • Increase response rates by emphasizing significance, delivering a personal touch, and thanking respondents for their time

“Extending Brainshark’s capability to include voice-enabled surveys is a great fit,” said Dana Meade, general manager of Zoomerang. “By adding Zoomerang’s survey capability to Brainshark’s on-demand presentations, we can jointly deliver a richer experience allowing for real-time customer and participant feedback.”

Already taking advantage of this integration is a leading FORTUNE 500 healthcare services and information technology company who wanted to improve upon the survey results from their National Sales Conference from the year prior. By voice-enabling their survey with the power of Brainshark’s on-demand presentations and Zoomerang’s online surveys, they were able to increase their 2005 response rate of 45% to 71% in 2006.

“Brainshark and Zoomerang are a great match for the businessperson looking for an easy-to-use solution to communicate more effectively and gain closed-loop insight into how messages are being received,” said Joe Gustafson, CEO and founder, Brainshark. “By integrating rich communications with the survey experience, companies can add value and depth to the interaction and ultimately drive better results.”
