Brickfish(R) Unveils Geo-Tracking Feature Enabling Marketers to Map Global Consumer-to-Brand Engagement in Real-Time

SAN DIEGO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—September 16, 2008— Brickfish®, the social media advertising network, today unveiled Geo View, the latest addition to its Viral Map technology, that displays real-time geographic positioning of consumers who engaged with specific brands through social media campaigns. Geo View will allow advertisers to determine where existing and potential consumers are concentrated geographically, enabling more targeted marketing efforts both on and offline.

Brickfish campaigns enable brand advertisers to launch online marketing campaigns that get consumers engaged in a meaningful brand dialogue. Consumers create exciting, personalized brand-focused UGC and then virally share the campaign and their content with their vast social networks via email, blogs, instant messaging and hundreds of social networks. Campaign participants interact with the brand campaign in a variety of ways -- creating, reviewing, sharing, voting upon, and watching brand-relevant content.

All of these brand engagements are tracked with Brickfishs patent-pending Viral Map technology which provides both a Web View and now a Geo View. The Web View shows how a brands campaign has virally spread across the Internet in real-time, identifying all Web sites where the campaign has been posted and total views on each. Geo View technology, which integrates the Google Map API, now enables advertisers and consumers to track brand engagements geographically as well and obtain detailed real-time data on where and what types of engagement are occurring by city, state, region and country. A satellite image is also available, enabling viewers to zoom out for a worldwide perspective or zoom in for city-level detail. An example of Brickfishs Viral Map technology can be seen here http://www.brickfish.com/fashion/Coach?tab=viralmap&cpn=fashion by clicking on the Web View or Geo View tabs.

We created Geo View to fill the gap marketers have faced with integrating online marketing efforts with offline tactics, said Brian Dunn, CEO of Brickfish. Geo View identifies with extreme precision where a brands most engaged consumers reside. This ability to track by geography the level of engagement and reach of a brands campaign has never been so precise. Combining this data with our detailed demographic data, brands can identify where their core consumers are concentrated and target those high interest markets to optimize their on- and offline marketing efforts.
