SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/03/15 — Marin Software Incorporated (NYSE: MRIN), provider of a leading cross-channel performance advertising cloud for advertisers and agencies, today released TV Sync as part of the Marin Social platform. TV Sync, powered by TVTY, is a revolutionary social advertising solution that leverages television, weather, and sports signals to power Facebook, Twitter and Instagram advertising campaigns, amplify reach, and drive consumer engagement across screens.
According to Time Warner,(1) 65% of people with a smartphone and a tablet are likely to use social media while watching television. This symbiotic and complementary relationship between television and social advertising has energized the advertising industry and presents a significant opportunity to reach relevant, high-value customers at a time when their attention and engagement are high.
Using Marin Social–s TV Sync, advertisers can automatically activate social ads based on dynamic offline events including television ad flight schedules, program schedules, weather changes, or sporting events, all in real-time. TV Sync allows advertisers to amplify and extend their messages to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter users, across multiple screens.
