PHOENIX, AZ — (Marketwire) — 03/20/13 — , a leading advertising technology provider, today announced the release of AdHQ, a comprehensive workflow management solution for brand and agency advertisers and media buyers. Integrate-s AdHQ empowers media and brand managers to effectively plan, launch, analyze and optimize cross-channel marketing campaigns across multiple forms of performance, digital and traditional media.

Marketing needs to be smarter, more relevant, and focused on effectively reaching customers across channels and platforms. Being able to optimally allocate marketing resources across channels and accurately account for the marketing effect on key performance indicators (KPIs), such as revenue, is a top concern for senior marketers.” (“Evaluate Your Marketing Optimization Readiness,” Forrester Research, Inc., November 5, 2012)

Unlike single point solutions, Integrate-s AdHQ is the first unified platform that allows marketers to manage the entire lifecycle of paid media campaigns in a single system. AdHQ provides an intuitive interface to plan and develop media buying strategies, a comprehensive ad-serving technology suite enabling effective lead distribution, affiliate tracking, call tracking, and real-time reporting and analytics to holistically compare channel, publisher and creative performance. This integrated approach increases the return on investment (ROI) of paid media campaigns by automating manual processes, simplifying workflows and increasing productivity. Based on early testing, advertisers reported up to a 150% increase in operational efficiency, translating to increased bandwidth of their existing staff.

AdHQ allows marketers to onboard their existing media partners and access a thriving ecosystem consisting of over 3,500 vetted publisher sources, more than 300,000 URLs and 35 digital programmatic buying systems. Those who implement AdHQ across all areas of media spend yield the best return.

“Integrate-s AdHQ has absolutely improved overall campaign execution and allows our ad operations department to focus on other revenue generating tasks,” said Isaac Zafarani at IDG TechNetwork, an online advertising network for technology marketers and agencies. “We moved all of our demand generation campaigns to AdHQ and can now manage hundreds of clients simultaneously — while meeting their media schedules and protecting their brand security. It saves our staff tons of time by automating a lot of the manual and labor-intensive processes.”

While analyzing cross-channel performance data, media buyers often get bogged down in what they call “Spreadsheet Hell.” They spend hours and days recording performance data from different channels and ad types (e.g. print ads, TV commercials, Internet display ads, mobile ads, etc.) in separate spreadsheets, only to spend more time manually comparing data between spreadsheets to determine which channels are delivering the highest response rates.

Integrate-s AdHQ provides real-time tracking and cross-channel reporting tools that compare performance metrics across online, offline and mobile paid media campaigns. The software automatically consolidates these cross-channel metrics into a single report, helping media buyers easily and accurately identify underperforming channels so they can instantly reallocate marketing spend to the highest performing publishers, methods, pricing models, creative and campaigns.

“Every day, media buyers waste valuable time and resources using processes from the 1990s,” said Jeremy Bloom, co-founder of Integrate. “Why should today-s smartest and hardest-working people in the ad business have to rely on media management methods that came into use back when Jurassic Park was in the theater, Nirvana was on the radio, and I was in junior high?

“We developed AdHQ to bring automation and simplification to marketing departments and agencies of all sizes,” Bloom added. “The increase in operational efficiency gives agencies the ability to manage more clients with their existing staff, and gives marketing departments the ability to manage all of their customer acquisition efforts with their current resources, regardless of scale or spend.”

Key features of AdHQ include:

— Plan media buys across 3,500+ trusted publishers, 300,000+ URLs and 35 programmatic buying systems.
