IP Intelligence Aids in the Delivery of “True” 1-to-1 Marketing Capabilities
ATLANTA – (March 9, 2009) – Digital Element, the leader in IP Intelligence solutions, today announced that Tumri, the leading provider of dynamic display advertising solutions, will be utilizing the company’s NetAcuity® geotargeting technology to make online advertising more powerful for brands and advertisers and more relevant for consumers. Digital Element’s IP Intelligence will be combined with Tumri’s dynamic ad construction and optimization capabilities to enable advertisers to deliver highly targeted display ads to online consumers.
Through its proprietary technology platform, Tumri provides integrated brand and performance marketing tools that marry advanced targeting capabilities with a dynamic, interactive presentation layer. This unique approach allows Tumri’s customers to seamlessly adjust marketing messages to consumers based on the behavioral, contextual and location information gained through Tumri’s ad delivery platform. For example, ads can automatically be deployed with different headlines, products, pricing, images, etc., depending on who is viewing the ad online .
“The online advertising industry is making great strides in enhanced targeting approaches, but historically there have been poor tools for marketers to go the last mile and deliver truly relevant, personalized messaging to these target audiences. Tumri closes this final gap by enabling marketers to seamlessly customize their messaging to their target audiences,” said Calvin Lui, president & CEO of Tumri. “By combining IP Intelligence with our dynamic ad serving platform, online advertisers are able to deliver extremely targeted display ads to consumers, thereby generating a significant lift in response rates.”
Tumri has found that, on average, the targeted ads served on the Tumri platform have performed 100 percent to 400 percent better than standard ads. Additionally, Tumri has created significant efficiencies for advertisers because targeted variations of ads are generated dynamically versus each variation being created separately.
“We selected Digital Element’s technology because it offered the most complete geotargeting solution available in the industry, and we believe that location information plays a crucial role in delivering on the promise of true ‘1-to-1 marketing’,” added Lui.
Independently verified to be more than 99.99 percent accurate at a country level and 95 percent accurate at a city level worldwide, Digital Element’s IP Intelligence and geotargeting technology provides information such as geographic location (country, region, state, city and zip code), connection speed, Internet Service Provider (ISP), language, domain name, demographics, and more.
“Tumri is truly helping to revolutionize the dynamic delivery of online advertising,” said Rob Friedman, executive vice president, Digital Element. “Tumri is able to apply the knowledge gleaned from its system to allow advertisers to change messaging on the fly — based on who is viewing an ad and in what context. Tumri is already taking the next big logical step in online advertising by moving creative messaging to a whole new level, allowing advertisers to make more meaningful connections with consumers.”
