NEW YORK – Eyeblaster announced Channel Connect for Search, a new tool that allows agencies and advertisers to look beyond the last click to fully understand the consumer; where they’re going, how they got there and why. Leading agency Mindshare New York and major brand LG Electronics are among those already using Channel Connect for Search, to get an in-depth look at the consumer’s path to conversion across search, standard banners and rich media.

“Using Channel Connect for Search and Display, Mindshare was able to pinpoint crucial campaign data and draw important insights about the interaction of our search and display ads,” says Harry Case, Director of Media Analytics and Technology at Mindshare. “In the end, it provided us with a more comprehensive overview of user behavior.”

In extensive beta testing with leading brands worldwide, Channel Connect for Search demonstrated a substantial lift in search keyword performance by display advertising. It also showed the contribution of different publishers to cross channel conversions. Channel Connect for Search offers advertisers the flexibility to integrate any search marketing tool, revealing important information about the user’s path to conversion and the consumer experience.

“Last click, single channel methodologies are a misrepresentation of the consumer experience,” said Gal Trifon, CEO and Co-founder of Eyeblaster. “The need for better touch points between various digital elements makes Channel Connect for Search a vital solution for marketers.”
