From Mad Men to Math Men

A quantitative revolution replacing “gut feel”

decision making

From Broadcast to Engagement

Consumers love to hate advertising and interact

with brands according to personal preferences

From Campaigns to Real-Time

Fragmentation of channels and content require

constant monitoring of trending topics in order

to capitalize on opportunities

MOST BRANDS ARE NOT PREPARED

Need tools to create value in this new paradigm

where the most valuable audiences are

consuming social media, not measured media.

TRANSACTION DETAIL

Divested NetShelter to raise capital to fund its rapidly growing earned

media advertising platform

The Board and Management did not want to incur dilution associated

achieved a premium valuation -- several times greater than the

seller’s expectation

Vaquero developed tactics to create and maintain competitive tension

despite a very limited universe of buyers

Ziff Davis will combine NetShelter with its BuyerBase unit to enable

advertisers to use its targeting product across the entire portfolio
