SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 04/02/12 — XA.net, Inc., the creators of optim.al, the leading social media advertising and data platform, announced today the company will begin operating under a new name, Optimal, Inc., effective immediately.
The rebrand to Optimal comes at an important time in the company-s evolution. “We believe that the word -optimal- truly describes the performance we help brand and direct marketers achieve with our offerings,” said Rob Leathern, Founder and CEO, Optimal, Inc. “We are constantly enhancing our advertising technology platform based on real-time data and user feedback, to help our customers manage advertising campaigns within Facebook and other social media. We believe that better campaign management workflow is simply table stakes, and it is only by harnessing both the addressable interest-graph and the evolving social-graph that ad-buying can truly be -optimal-!”

Mike was most recently the Co-Founder and CTO of Circle of Moms, which was acquired by Sugar, Inc. in February earlier this year. Prior to founding Circle of Moms, Mike was the Senior Analytics Scientist at LinkedIn and a Senior R&D scientist at PayPal. “I-ve known Mike since we worked together at LinkedIn back in 2005.
