The recent acquisition of Rocket Fuel by Sizmek, a leader in the ad tech space since 1999, benefits both companies, enriches the digital landscape, and opens exciting new possibilities for AUDIENCEX and our clients.
Each month we build and deploy hundreds of campaigns for performance-driven marketers, both agencies and brands, and across a broad array of different verticals. This experience, coupled with our partnership with companies like Rocket Fuel and Sizmek, has enabled us to develop powerful strategic insights that consistently deliver high-performing campaigns, with significant return on advertising spend. To ensure that we continue to develop campaigns that maximize their effectiveness the following are three foundational ideas that we believe are crucial for success.
As the digital ecosystem grows increasingly multi-faceted, it also becomes ever more networked and interconnected, with new relationships emerging between online and offline channels. Some of our most exciting current work navigates today’s fluid relationship between digital and physical consumer experiences.
At AUDIENCEX we are fully committed to the pursuit of exploring new technology solutions that will enhance and elevate the hundreds of campaigns that we run each month.

Attention is at an ever increasing premium. For marketers to be effective, their content cannot be a digital diversion, but rather must be an integrated component of a larger engagement experience. Welcome to a new generation of native advertising – so targeted and relevant it may as well be speaking directly to you. Performance marketers have always known that to stand out they must blend in. In that spirit, native advertising has become more personalized than ever before.
