Skyword, a content marketing platform, announced plans to merge with TrackMaven, a marketing insights company. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Tom Gerace, Skyword Founder and CEO, will lead the combined company. Allen Gannett, Founder and CEO of TrackMaven, will serve as CSO and EVP. Tim Koubek, President of TrackMaven, will take on the role of COO, and TrackMaven board member Patrick Kerins will join Skyword’s board of directors.

Now with Skyword, we can incorporate those insights into the actual content creation workflows, giving marketers the power to create content strategies that win.”
