Merger of Startups Creates Online Marketing Agency with Focus on Ethics
MCKINNEY, Texas, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Online marketing agencies LocalHitz and DigitalBreadCrumb (DBC) have completed an agreement to merge the two start-ups into a full-service online marketing agency. The new company has formally commenced operations as of May 21, 2012.
The new company is called LocalHitz, and combines the LocalHitz pay-per-click optimization platform with SocialConnect, DBC's social networking optimization platform.
Both companies were founded with a focus on bringing a higher ethical standard to the online marketing space, in which practices such as black-box markup, blocking advertiser access to publisher data, and tying advertisers to long-term contracts are commonplace.
New LocalHitz CEO Vittorio Rotelli underscores the synergy between the two companies, both from a product and philosophical point of view, "In order to provide a full range of services, DBC was looking to expand into search advertising and LocalHitz was, in turn, taking a closer look at the benefits of social network marketing. The fact that both companies were founded to right some wrongs in this space made this a perfect match."
Rotelli's rich background in online marketing includes more than three years as Area Director at ReachLocal, four years as Area General Sales Manager at Yellowbook, and six years as District Manager at AT&T.
The management team is rounded out by Chief Technology Officer and LocalHitz founder Dan Madoni, Chief Product Officer Adam Webber, and Chief Financial Officer James Bresnahan, each with a lengthy list of accomplishments in their respective fields.
The LocalHitz office in McKinney, Texas will serve as company headquarters and the center of engineering operations. DBC's Manhattan Beach, California office will serve as the company's center of sales operations.
