LONDON, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AdRoll, the world's most widely adopted retargeting platform, has hired MWW following a competitive pitch. MWW's brief is to raise awareness for the company amongst SME customers and media agencies as it expands in the United Kingdom.
MWW, one of the top five independent PR firms in the US and a new entrant to the UK PR agency market, will demystify retargeting, where a brand recognises when a consumer visits their site and serves online ads after the customer has left, for small and medium sized businesses. MWW will also be positioning AdRoll as the retargeting partner of choice for media agencies.
AdRoll has over 15,000 active advertisers globally. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company is backed by blue-chip investors including Accel and Peter Thiel and has recently closed a $70 million funding round led by Foundation Capital.
Paddy Herridge, UK MD of MWW, said, "AdRoll is the global leader in retargeting with the largest number of customers using its platform. Retargeting is recognised as generating significant results in terms of converting the 98 percent of customers who visit a website and then leave without checking out their basket. Our challenge is to demystify this technology and make it accessible for all small and medium sized brands as well as raising the business' profile amongst media agencies."
Geraldine McCabe, Head of EMEA Marketing, AdRoll added, "MWW was the only agency that really understood our business, and their entrepreneurial approach and enthusiasm for AdRoll deeply resonated with our management team. We look forward to working in partnership with them as we expand across the UK."
MWW is one of the top five independent public relations firms in the United States and expanded into Europe in November last year.
