We provide a leading cross-channel, cross-device, enterprise marketing software
platform for search, social and display advertising channels, offered as a software-as-a-service,
or SaaS, solution for advertisers and agencies. Our platform is an analytics,
workflow and optimization solution for marketing professionals, allowing them
to effectively manage their digital advertising spend across search, social and
display advertising channels. Our software solution is designed to help our customers:
measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns through our proprietary
reporting and analytics capabilities;
manage and execute campaigns through our intuitive user interface and underlying
technology that streamlines and automates key functions, such as advertisement
creation and bidding, across multiple publishers and channels; and
optimize campaigns across multiple publishers and channels based on market
and business data to achieve desired revenue outcomes using our predictive bid
management technology.
Advertisers use our platform to create, target and convert precise audiences
based on recent buying signals from users’ search, social and display
interactions. Our platform is integrated with leading publishers such as Amazon,
Baidu, Bing, Facebook, Google, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Yahoo! Gemini,
Yahoo! Japan and Yandex. Additionally, we have integrations with more than 50
leading web analytics and advertisement-serving solutions and key enterprise
applications, enabling our customers to more accurately measure the return on
investment of their marketing programs.
Our software platform serves as an integration point for advertising performance,
sales and revenue data, allowing advertisers to connect the dots between advertising
spend and revenue outcomes. Through an intuitive interface, we enable our customers
to simultaneously run large-scale digital advertising campaigns across multiple
publishers and channels, making it easy for marketers to create, publish, modify
and optimize campaigns.
Our predictive bid management and optimization technology also allows advertisers
to forecast outcomes and optimize campaigns across multiple publishers and channels
to achieve their business goals. Our optimization technology can help advertisers
increase advertisement spend on those campaigns, publishers and channels that
are performing well while reducing investment in those that are not. This category
of solutions, which we refer to as cross-channel bid and campaign optimization,
helps businesses intelligently and efficiently measure, manage, and optimize
their digital advertising spend to achieve desired business results.
We completed our acquisitions of SocialMoov S.A.S., or SocialMoov, and NowSpots,
Inc., which conducted business as Perfect Audience, or Perfect Audience, in
February 2015 and June 2014, respectively, to complement our product offerings.
SocialMoov provides a software platform that offers advertisers and agencies
social advertising tools designed to increase engagement and return on investment.
Perfect Audience offers advertisers a SaaS demand-side platform to purchase
display impressions and retarget audiences across the web, Facebook and Twitter.
Perfect Audience expanded our cross-channel capabilities by adding new programmatic
display and social advertising functionality while expanding our audience retargeting
tools. The acquisition of SocialMoov is more fully described in Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements.
