that further strengthen Webxu's position in the online advertising market.
"We
are very excited about the acquisition of MediaTrust", commented Matt Hill, Webxu Executive Chairman. "Keith Cohn, CEO
of MediaTrust and his seasoned management team have built a very reputable brand, an established Advertiser client base and a
proprietary high-performance Pay-Per-Click model that connects Advertisers with targeted consumer traffic; all of which we anticipate
will synergize very well with our existing business. We expect the closing of this transaction to pave the way for additional
acquisitions that will further our growth strategy".
Via
the MediaTrust Performance Exchange ("MTPX") proprietary platform, MediaTrust provides Advertiser clients with a complete
suite of tools and services that optimize the ROI on their online advertising campaigns, and connect them to Publishers' high-quality
consumer traffic. The MTPX platform utilizes a Real-Time-Bid Exchange where Advertisers bid auction-style against one another
for targeted Pay-Per-Click ads in order to drive consumer traffic to buy their goods and services..
"MediaTrust
and Webxu operate in the same online advertising space and we see valuable synergies that we intend to capitalize on right out
of the gate", said Keith Cohn, CEO of MediaTrust. "By combining our efforts, we see a tremendous opportunity to increase
our overall presence in the marketplace".
