PASSAU, GERMANY — (Marketwire) — 07/26/11 — crealytics GmbH attracts new investors: In addition to early stage investors Bayern Kapital, the Passau-based profit driven search marketing specialists have received a fresh injection of capital from LBBW Venture Capital GmbH and Mountain Super Angel AG. LBBW Venture Capital GmbH and Mountain Super Angel AG will support the young, innovative technology business as lead investors.
crealytics GmbH is the world-s first -pay per click- (PPC) enterprise with a future-oriented paid search marketing strategy geared towards profit. The fresh capital investment will allow the proprietary search engine marketing software “camato” to be developed further and the company-s PPC services to be extended.
As a subsidiary of Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, LBBW Venture Capital GmbH supports young, early-stage companies to put innovative ideas and technologies into practice and, in particular, to establish themselves in the marketplace. Based in Switzerland, Mountain Super Angel AG acts in the marketplace as an “institutional business angel investor” within technology-driven and high growth markets — predominantly in German-speaking countries. With their investment in crealytics, the new investors see the benefits of a promising, high-growth company in the field of online marketing.
“In addition to the management team, we were impressed particularly by the uniqueness of the software in conjunction with the performance-based business model. We are certain that the new capital will enable crealytics to continue the pace of its current success, “explains Mattias Götz, signatory for LBBW Venture Capital GmbH. Ingo Drexler, vice president of Mountain Super Angel AG emphasises the technical innovation potential: “Profitable PPC advertising at the click of a button is clearly in tune with the spirit of the time. Crealytics has the potential to almost completely automate PPC.”Romy Schnelle, investment manager at High-Tech Gründerfonds, adds: “We are pleased with having gained LBBW and Mountain Super Angel as new investors for crealytics continued growth.” Bayern Kapital together with High-Tech Gründerfonds provided the initial seed financing in 2009.
crealytics has experienced strong growth since it was founded in 2008. With its scientific concept of “profit driven search marketing”, the start-up has successfully asserted itself in the market through significant increases in performance: more than 50 customers currently benefit from the technological know-how and performance model provided by crealytics — from large companies, such as Neckermann.ch and Hotel.de, to young enterprises, such as Navabi.de. This has enabled turn over in 2010 to double and staff numbers to keep growing to 25 employees. Furthermore, the company-s search marketing performance has been certified both by Google and the German Federal Association of the Digital Economy.
This growth has been facilitated thanks especially to the proprietary PPC software -camato-, which automates the entire operational process of PPC advertising. Currently, approximately 50 per cent of the work normally required to complete repetitive tasks, such as keyword research, clustering, creating ad texts or target URLs, can either be software-supported or completely automated. The capital will be used principally for further software development to enable the performance-based service to be scalable.
Crealytics CEO, Andreas Reiffen, says: “Paid search marketing is becoming increasingly “tough”! Costs per click haves hot up to dizzying heights and the marketing instrument has become increasingly time and labour intensive. Our software enables clients to generate and optimise qualitatively valuable campaigns at the click of a button. In our investors we have found significant partners who share our vision and are supporting the continued development of our technology.”
