SocialVibe SocialVibe has released TrueTargetingTM for rich media advertising, a solution that provides deeper engagement by leveraging category leading third party data providers.  TrueTargeting™ utilizes third party data from BlueKai, information from network partners and data collected directly from users.

SocialVibe TrueTargeting™ aims to demystify rich media ad targeting,” explained John Capano, chief marketing officer at SocialVibe. “We know who our users are and can target them with relevant, engaging ads to drive results for our clients. Our numbers prove it over and over.”

Currently, major TrueTargeting™ clients include McDonald’s, Microsoft and Coca-Cola.
