haystagg today announced the addition of several prominent investors - Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran Venture Partners and Kima Ventures, combining for a total investment of over $600,000. The company, a pioneer in situational targeting, welcomes these investors for their added business value and ongoing support in extending haystagg's advertiser base.
haystagg is used by agencies and advertisers to significantly expand reach as well as performance in digital advertising campaigns, beyond the capabilities of other solutions in the market. Since cookies and digital fingerprints are poor representatives for consumers, haystagg replaces these outdated identifiers with an effective real-time approach to assess and capitalize on the value of each single ad impression for each advertiser. Early traction and a strong roster of clients are proof points that haystagg's real-time situational targeting approach to digital advertising works, and it's these compelling factors that attracted all three investors to the investment.
President, Michael Ouellette said 'haystagg has fantastic resonance in the market - we beat our 2014 revenue targets and are on track to do the same in 2015. Our investors help us to create more products that advertisers will love. We highly appreciate that their networks open additional doors in the advertiser and investment community.'
