Third Quarter 2009
| ClearSaleing Recognition |
 |
All of our portfolio companies had an amazing third quarter but ClearSaleing really hit the ball out of the park. In October, one of the worlds most respected research firms, Forrester Research, Inc., recognized ClearSaleing as an Interactive Attribution "Leader"in an independent report titled "The Forrester WaveTM: Interactive Attribution, Q4 2009" (October 2009)". |
| ClearSaleing received the highest scores in both the "Current Offering"and "Strategy"categories. It also garnered a 5.0 out of a possible 5.0 score for its strength of management team. |
| In simplified terms, ClearSaleing has built the leading technology platform to help agencies and interactive marketers accurately measure and attribute campaign results to the most likely marketing initiative(s). |
| "ClearSaleing is delighted to be recognized by Forrester," says ClearSaleing co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Adam Goldberg. "Since we began, ClearSaleing has been working steadily to develop and deliver technology that marketers can put to use immediately to optimize campaigns and realize the greatest ROI. We believe attribution management is the linchpin of any successful marketing strategy, combining customer insight with smart campaign management." |
| The Forrester report also stated that "All of the clients we spoke with were fiercely loyal to ClearSaleing, citing its high level of service and its commitment to high-quality insights."That’s quite a compliment and one that makes us very proud to have ClearSaleing in our portfolio. |
