Louisville, CO, April 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I-Behavior, the premier provider of database marketing and behavioral targeting services is expanding its international footprint into Brazil. With the significant growth in online display advertising in Latin America, I-Behavior recognized a significant opportunity to provide digital marketing and DMP services to the Brazilian market. As a KBM Group Company, I-Behavior is launching in Brazil as part of the Wunderman Network Brazil, which also includes the agency, Wunderman, and the digital production company, Wunderman Technologies.
With the addition of I-Behavior's Digital Audiences and Zipline DMP Services to Wunderman trading desk services, clients of Wunderman will benefit from the enhanced targeting capabilities available for their online campaigns. Further, I-Behavior's Zipline DMP will allow any company to onboard their offline data for use in online display and email campaigns, as well as provide a data monetization service that can be made available to publishers and other data originators in Brazil. "We feel the timing is right for Wunderman Network to play an instrumental role in bringing targeted online display to our clients and other marketers in Brazil. Online media spending continues to grow at exponential rates in our country, and we feel fortunate to be able to harness I-Behavior's capabilities to help us bring the enhanced performance of data audience targeting to the online advertising marketplace," said Wunderman Network Brazil president Eduardo Bicudo. According to Dave DeMarsh, I-Behavior CEO, "it's a wonderful win-win arrangement for all parties. We're excited about the opportunity to bring proven experience in digital targeting, and data onboarding with our Data Management Platform to the Brazil market." I-Behavior opened an office in the U.K. to provide data cooperative, digital marketing and DMP services to companies in the EU in April 2012, and identified Brazil as the next market for expansion in 2013.
