Citizen Launches New Brand of Digital, dComm3

Today, global communications agency, Citizen Relations, announced the expansion of its global digital capabilities. Boosting earned with the power of digital, their strengthened integrated service enables the agency to influence audiences more effectively, with more personalisation, performance and dynamic content to better connect marketing, sales and data. 

“While Citizen has been providing social and digital communications services to its clients for years, we felt there was much more to be done,” said Nick Cowling, Citizen’s CEO. “We wanted to build an offering that would drive conversation surgically, bring our campaigns to life online in a truly connected fashion and deliver performance like never before - our new digital team is doing just that.” 

Led by Crystalyn Stuart-Loayza, Citizen’s chief digital officer, Citizen calls its new brand of digital 'dComm3', which brings together a growing team of 15+ technical experts across strategy, activation and intelligence, embedding digital across the way earned programs are built, executed and measured - ultimately bridging brands into what’s next in web3. 

“Our brand of digital communications challenges convention with innovative solutions in four key ways," says Crystalyn. “To start, we’re building next-generation content performance and effectiveness models boosted with orchestrated tech and high automation for faster, more effective ways to communicate. Secondly, we’re leading in off-page search, bridging Citizen’s conversation know-how with user intent to capture greater share of market and voice. We’re also leading the next generation of social with owned communities and a new breed of web-forward community engagement for more digital intimacy and value. Finally, we’re focused on evolving the influencer marketing landscape with entirely new models that bridge media buying, affiliate, social algorithm hacks and a new breed of creator collaborations for clients seeking solutions in this growing category of influence.”
