ClearSaleing and Mindset Media First to Offer Integrated Advertising Analytics and Psychographic Profiling to Advertisers

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSaleing, the industry leader in advertising analytics and attribution management, and Mindset Media, the makers of the world's first and only psychographic ad technology, today announced a partnership to provide advertisers with a powerful new means for understanding their online consumers.  By combining Mindset Media's psychographic profiling capability with ClearSaleing's multi-channel advertising analytics, advertisers can now identify the personality traits of their online consumers and determine which psychographic traits, or Mindsets, drive profit.  

While advertisers have been able to profile consumers demographically and behaviorally for some time, psychographics represent a powerful new lens through which buyer behavior and brand choice can be better understood.

"Savvy advertisers are increasingly moving away from a 'last click' ad model and are seeking an in-depth knowledge of their entire marketing portfolio to make informed decisions that drive more profit. In doing so, those advertisers are looking for innovative ways to better understand their target consumers," said Dustin Engel, ClearSaleing Vice President, Business Development. "As we looked to further develop our Attribution Ecosystem™ of digital technology and data partners, it became quite clear that Mindset Media provides unparalleled methodology, technology, and scale.  This partnership will give our clients access to the strongest determinants of purchase decisions -- buyers'  personalities."

This revolutionary combination of psychographic profiling and attribution-based analytics allows advertisers to capture and monetize consumers like never before. The partnership will also help advertisers identify the most efficient multi-channel advertising sources and offer the unique opportunity to tie psychographic insights to profit metrics.

"We are proud to partner with ClearSaleing," said JB Brokaw, Executive Director of Market Development, Mindset Media. "Being part of ClearSaleing's state-of-the-art Attribution Ecosystem will let us apply the power of psychographics to the world of e-commerce."

ClearSaleing was named an interactive attribution leader in Forrester Research Inc.'s report The Forrester Wave(™: Interactive Attribution, Q4 2009.
