David A. Yovanno, CEO of Marin Software, explained: "As display and social advertising evolve, performance marketers are looking for ways to achieve the same financial return with these channels that they're accustomed to with search."

He added: "Search brings a wealth of real-time intent data and is a perfect match for retargeting. We believe by building-out our capabilities in display and social, our customers will be able to combine their search, display and social data to build and target audience segments across channels to drive better performance and scale. "
