Pete Prestipino — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:00:00 GMT

Digital marketing provider ValueClick, whose brand lineup includes such notable Web names as Commission Junction, GretyStripe, Dotomi, PriceRunner and others, announced its second quarter 2012 results this week.

Adjusted-EBITDA and earnings per share metrics, as well as revenue (29 percent increase from the second quarter for a total of $161 million) all exceeded the high-end of the previously issued guidance ranges.

"We delivered another quarter of strong financial results, while further leveraging our unique data, traffic and services capabilities to become a more strategic partner for our clients," said James R. Zarley, chief executive officer of ValueClick. "As illustrated in our share repurchase activity, we remain confident in our ability to become the partner of choice for the largest, most sophisticated digital advertisers and capitalize on the growth opportunities in our industry."

ValueClick's ActiveAds in the Wild

Pete Prestipino — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:15:00 GMT

Performance advertising network ValueClick announced the availability of ActiveAds.

Through the offering, marketers can display micro-targeted messages in custom ad creative without the need to re-design, re-deploy, or re-manage multiple creative units. The ActiveAds banner ads are dynamically assembled to present consumers a more "relevant" version of the ad’s text or images based on anonymous information available from the client or ValueClick Media.

ActiveAds can be tailored to present an ad based on technical data, like a consumer’s geographic location, or based on context, like the category of the site they are currently visiting. Most importantly, ValueClick clients can tailor creative based on an infinite number of attributes via XML. Over time, you'll see a lot more of predictive, behavioral, and interest-based advertising solutions just like this - so keep your eyes open.

“ActiveAds is extremely well suited for our clients who believe one ad does not fit all. Too long have clients with a wide variety of products been forced to show the same content to all prospects, despite the wealth of data which can be used to improve performance by tailoring ad creative to each individual consumer,” said Bill Todd, general manager of ValueClick Media.
