BLiNQ Media Now Sells Premium Facebook Ads, Too

For the first time, Facebook advertisers can use one Ad API Platform for both Premium and Marketplace ads

NEW YORK - BLiNQ Media, a Social Engagement Advertising^SM and technology company that delivers quality brand engagement at scale by driving rapid, measurable results with unparalleled audience insight, announced that Facebook® has authorized it to sell Premium ads, which run on Facebook’s homepage, as well as the Marketplace ads for which BLiNQ Media has managed through the Facebook Ads API since its inception.

BLiNQ Media can now deliver truly integrated Facebook advertising campaigns for the world’s largest agencies and brands — an unprecedented level of access and service for its customers.

“Premium is the most effective way for a brand to distribute its content and deliver against core reach, frequency and engagement metrics,” said BLiNQ Media CEO Dave Williams. “Premium guarantees homepage placement, audience reach and frequency, which we have found consistently results in the highest level of engagement. We’re pleased that our rapid innovation and success with Facebook’s Ads API program resulted in Facebook entrusting us with being one of the first Preferred Marketing Developers to integrate Premium ads into our BLiNQ Ad Management (BAM) platform. Facebook has trained, certified and approved our entire organization to sell Premium inventory. We are excited for this development, as our agency and brand partners have been asking for this for a while. We are pleased to offer our clients a one-stop, integrated managed services and technology solution for both Premium and Marketplace ads.”

Premium Facebook ads are generally the best way to promote key activities and events, such as product launches, holiday specials, movie premieres, TV shows and sporting events. BLiNQ Media can now plan, launch, manage, optimize and analyze Premium and Marketplace inventory at the same time, applying the principles of scientific advertising to both types simultaneously in order to determine, as quickly as possible, the best allocation of a brand’s resources to match the right creative against the right targets in an integrated approach.

“BLiNQ’s addition of Premium buying allows us to augment the cost-effectiveness of our Marketplace approach with the scale and impact of Facebook’s Premium inventory,” added Chris Tuff, SVP, Director of Earned and Emerging Media at advertising agency 22squared. “This bridging of Marketplace and Premium also ensures that we are leveraging the respective benefits of both types of inventory for our clients by streamlining targeting and optimization across our buys.”
