CHICAGO - June 29, 2012 - BrightTag, a technology platform provider for the digital marketing industry, announced today it has partnered with six industry-leading analytics consultancies to further expand support for its tag management solution. The company has inked agreements with Blast Advanced Media, Cardinal Path, The Encima Group, Keystone Solutions, Semphonic and WebHue to support analytics implementations for its growing roster of global clients.

The BrightTag ONE platform provides a data-centric tag management solution to help website owners simplify how they integrate third-party marketing services into their sites and mobile applications.

Through these partnerships, BrightTag is extending the capabilities of its services and providing clients with additional industry-leading expertise in data-driven analytics.

"BrightTag's data layer enables a rich analytics implementation that we have not yet seen before," said Matt Wright, CTO at Keystone Solutions. "The agility of the BrightTag ONE system gives our clients better quality data, normalized across multiple sources. BrightTag's unique approach to cataloguing site actions and events into a comprehensive 'data dictionary' ultimately helps us deliver superior results for our shared clients."

"As a leading digital analytics agency, we are committed to helping our clients make the promise of real time web analytics a reality," said Andrew Swinand, CEO of Cardinal Path. "BrightTag's technology supports our methodology while giving our experts flexibility to support client's unique needs."

"Compared to traditional methods of tagging, BrightTag delivers faster deployment, lighter page-weight and better governance to our clients. As a global web analytics and measurement consultancy, many of Semphonic's clients require complex and large analytics implementations. BrightTag's seamless integration of marketing tags and excellent system for organizing custom code is an important tool to help us accomplish our client goals, said Gary Angel, Semphonic President and CTO."

"Analytics-minded buyers care deeply about the structure, quality and governance of data," said Scott Grossman, SVP of Business Development at BrightTag. "As our client base grows, we've seen much of the demand for tag management originate from the analytics function within an organization. These partnerships are a natural extension of our growth and underscores the increasing need for tag management and data distribution solutions like BrightTag ONE."
