CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ditto Labs today announced a firehose partnership with Tumblr that allows brands, for the first time, to find their logos and products within the massive stream of images shared on Tumblr, which powers over 120 million posts each day. The deal will help companies better understand consumer preferences for products and services as well as affinities by looking at the brands people include in their photos.

According to Comscore, people spend an average of 16 minutes per session on Tumblr, more than any other social media platform. With more than 80 billion posts and 190 million blogs, Tumblr has emerged as one the most influential social platforms for brands to connect with fans and new customers.

"Photo-listening provides incredible insight into how people make brands a part of their everyday lives," said David Rose, CEO of Ditto Labs. "No other technology can read brand information inside of pictures at social-scale. It's a must-have for companies looking to understand how to engage with fans and consumers in a photo-centric world."

In addition to product and audience insights, Ditto offers photo-based social ad-targeting for all major business categories, including beverage, sports, fashion, consumer package goods, quick service restaurants, retail and technology.
