Metamarkets Integrates AdAdvisor® Data to Deliver Real-Time Price Discovery to Global Media Companies

VIENNA, Va., Sep. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- TARGUSinfo, the trusted provider of On-Demand Insight®, announced today a new multi-year agreement to provide Metamarkets, the leading real-time provider of media price discovery data,  access to the robust AdAdvisor offline data to enable real-time inventory insight and enrichment for global media companies.

"Metamarkets processes and analyzes billions of electronic media transactions daily to make an otherwise overwhelming torrent of transaction data meaningful and actionable to our customers," said Metamarkets' CEO David Soloff.  "AdAdvisor will allow us to offer publishers deeper insights and enriched targeting in order to deliver premium, scaled, verifiable audience segments to advertiser and agency partners."

Metamarkets delivers price discovery to large-scale global media companies who are overwhelmed by the velocity, granularity and quantity of media transaction data. The Metamarkets platform enables global media companies to subscribe to data-driven inventory valuation and analytics as a cost-effective, value-enhancing service. The global media company can execute on its core competency – publishing content and building advertiser and agency relationships -- while Metamarkets provisions massive scale data capture and real-time analytics on their event streams.

AdAdvisor data provides a unique capability to drive scalable performance of brand advertising campaigns by helping agencies identify and reach new prospects that best resemble a company's current customers. With access to thousands of potential targeting criteria such as travel habits, investment needs and brand preferences, AdAdvisor makes it possible for agencies to discretely identify the particular group of consumers that is most likely to be receptive to brand influences and respond positively to a given campaign.

"We are extremely impressed with Metamarkets' ability to harness vast amounts of transaction data to create tremendous value for its media clients," said Paul McLenaghan, Vice President - AdAdvisor.   "Metamarkets' integration of AdAdvisor will bring the supply-side and the demand-side of advertising closer together than ever before due to publishers' enhanced ability to deliver the audiences most sought after by advertisers and agencies."

TARGUSinfo, the leading provider of On-Demand Insight about prospects and customers, created the first service that bridges predictive offline data with online advertising for agencies, advertisers and technology platforms. AdAdvisor segment scores and verified demographics enable the nation's top agencies, ad networks and online publishers to deliver highly relevant display advertising -- in the moment they encounter each visitor.
