This data-first approach has propelled the company to success and has helped Smart Rhino Labs grow and expand their approach to include mobile recruiting, analytics, and operate a network of 25 job boards. It’s this approach that attracted Randall-Reilly to the company.

Throughout its history Randall-Reilly has evolved with the times and altered its approach to deliver the best services possible to clients. The company was originally founded way back in 1934 as Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges (which is still in operation today).
Over the years the company grew and eventually began acquiring publications in 1986, starting with Overdrive. In the years to follow more brands such as Equipment World, Commercial Carrier Journal, Total Landscape Care, and Truck Parts & Service would follow.

Instead of relying on print publications to generate calls for clients, we began to target our audience using data on channels like Google and Facebook to create efficiency. We see the next level of efficiency gains coming from helping clients do a better job of connecting and converting response.”[/testimonial][/two_third_last]
He continued,
[testimonial author=”Randall-Reilly SVP of Digital, Nick Reid”]“Our strategic plan focuses on acquisitions that give us complementary datasets, new capabilities that solve client pain points, new clients where we already have data or elements that reinforce existing barriers to entry in our markets. Smart Rhino Labs brought all four, but especially the first two.”[/testimonial]
