What Company Is Offering:
Spotzer is the first global advertising agency dedicated to making high quality video advertising fast, affordable and highly targeted.
They offer an online library of creative, ready-to-air commercials produced by industry-leading professionals from around the world.
Spotzer offers local businesses turn-key, multi-media, video advertising campaigns at remarkably low costs. Clients can use advanced search and mapping tools to configure and purchase highly targeted campaigns across television, Web and out-of-home TV networks. Clients also have access to an online library of high-quality, "ready-to-air" video commercials that can be personalized with their unique logos, photos, slogans and other branding materials.
How It Works:
They help you plan and buy spots across multiple advertising media, including television, the web, and narrow cast networks (location specific, out-of-home networks). They use the latest technologies for targeting advertising to limited geographic areas and well defined demographic audiences. This helps you better target your customers and brings efficiency and cost-effectiveness to your video advertising.
Best of all, Spotzer manages your campaign from beginning to end freeing you to focus your time and energy on growing your business.
How Much They Got From VCs Funding:
Spotzer Media Group, BV, the world's first provider of affordable multi-media video advertising campaigns, today announced the closing of Euro 10 million in financing led by Sierra Ventures of Menlo Park, Calif. European Directories, operator of leading yellow page publishers in nine countries, also invested.
What's The Purpose Of Raising Funds:
Spotzer will primarily use the new capital to extend its innovative rich media advertising services into the U.S. market. The company has recently opened offices in New York and California and now plans aggressive build-out of its sales and client services capabilities. Strategic partnerships with a number of major U.S. television, Web and out-of-home TV networks are also under development. The expansion is timed to fully leverage the company's new online advertising platform (www.spotzer.com), which was recently opened to clients globally.
