Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo! and Tumri Prove the Power of Display, Combining Broad Reach with ROI that Rivals Search

Mountain View, CA – May 21, 2009


Tumri, a leading provider of dynamic and intelligent display advertising solutions, today announced their participation in a new partner program with Yahoo! designed to significantly improve online display campaign performance. Yahoo!’s Smart Ads program marries Yahoo!’s massive reach and targeting capabilities with leading third-party advertising technologies, including Tumri’s dynamic, intelligent display advertising solution – the AdPod.

Yahoo! and Tumri worked with Hewlett-Packard to create a Smart Ad campaign that generated more than 20,000 unique creative experiences, reaching more than 140 million US users. This campaign documented a return on ad spend that was more than 20 times higher than their traditional display campaigns.

“The ability to run a display advertising campaign that can match the ROI of my search marketing spend is a potentially game-changing proposition,” said Catherine Paschkewitz, director of demand generation, HP Direct. “The Smart Ad solution has enabled us to increase our ROI by reaching the right set of users with the right message.”

Tumri’s unique platform and dynamic, intelligent display advertising solution, the AdPod, offers global brands the opportunity to increase awareness and expedite consumer purchases, or both – while delivering high ROI’s generally reserved for high intent ad campaigns like search.

“By bringing together Tumri’s next generation advertising platform with Yahoo!’s rich data insights across its broad consumer audience, we can now offer unmatched solutions and performance to advertisers trying to reach consumer audiences of all sizes, types and interests,” stated Calvin Lui, president & CEO, Tumri. “We believe the Tumri solution will fundamentally transform the way advertisers communicate with consumers, as we can now craft customized messages to vast audiences – whether to drive brand awareness or consumer purchases, or both – while delivering high ROIs generally reserved for high intent campaigns like search. We are extremely proud of the work that we’ve accomplished with global powerhouses like HP and Yahoo!.”

The Tumri AdPod marries advanced targeting capabilities with a dynamic, interactive presentation layer, enabling advertisers to craft highly targeted marketing messages to consumers on-the-fly. The Tumri platform seamlessly deconstructs ad creatives into core sub-components (i.e. brand logo, background image, product image, offer/price, call to action, attention grabber, etc.), then allows advertisers to adjust each sub-component by targeting or performance parameters.
