SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 03/18/15 — Marin Software (NYSE: MRIN), provider of a leading cross-channel performance advertising cloud, today announced support for Bing–s recent device targeting update designed to streamline campaign management across multiple devices. Using the Marin platform, marketers can take advantage of Bing–s new device targeting capabilities, test the new bid environment before their changes take effect, and more effectively target mobile users across multiple search engines.
With smartphones and tablets emerging as the dominant devices, Bing has announced new device targeting changes to be launched on March 23rd, giving advertisers a more streamlined way to target searchers, regardless of what device they are searching on. Rather than create separate campaigns and manage bids separately for smartphones, tablets, and desktops, Bing now allows advertisers to target devices by adjusting bids within a single campaign.
To continue providing marketers with a comprehensive, cross-channel performance advertising cloud, Marin Software worked closely with Bing to develop full support for the new device targeting features.
Through the Marin Software platform, marketers can now:
Create Bing campaigns using the new unified device targeting capabilities;
Streamline their workflow by importing existing Bing campaigns into Marin, allowing those campaigns to be managed through Marin–s single platform and interface;
Increase control by targeting mobile and tablet devices by setting campaign-level mobile bid adjustments and creating mobile preferred ads;
Improve insights by viewing the campaign type, bid adjustment value, and ad preference in their respective grid views.
As the meteoric rise of mobile continues and consumers continue to embrace smartphones as a purchasing channel, identifying and reaching prospects on mobile devices is paramount. Marin Software is committed to providing advertisers and agencies with a powerful cross-channel and cross-device performance advertising cloud, through which marketers can measure, manage and optimize search, display, and social ad campaigns between desktop and mobile devices.
“Mobile devices are becoming the de facto devices for marketers, and Marin Software is committed to leading the way as the advertising industry transitions into a multi-device environment,” said Matt Ackley, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of product at Marin Software. “According to our research, smartphones and tablets will account for over half of online ad clicks by the end of this year.
