Vocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: VOCS), a leading provider of cloud-based marketing and PR software, today unveiled Vocus Marketing, a new software suite that enables customers to use online marketing, social media and publicity to grow their business.
Designed for business-owners and marketers alike, the new software combines elements of social media, online marketing and public relations.

“The Internet now offers incredible opportunities for businesses to reach and influence buyers through social networks, online and through the media,” says Rick Rudman, CEO of Vocus. “Our new software suite breaks down the final barriers to achieving business growth using online marketing – lack of time and lack of expertise. Our recommendation engine makes the full potential of online marketing available to millions of business owners and time-pressed marketers, all of whom can achieve huge results in just a few minutes a day.”
