TubeMogul Raises $10 Million for Asian Expansion<\/p>\n

Second tranche of the company\u2019s Series C financing, led by SingTel Innov8, will be used to expand programmatic buying of video ads worldwide<\/p>\n

Singapore – May 29, 2013 – TubeMogul announced that it successfully completed the second tranche of its Series C funding today. The funds will be used to expand the footprint of programmatic buying of video advertising throughout Asia.<\/p>\n

TubeMogul is backed by venture capital from a diverse group of financial and media heavyweights from both Asia and the United States. This round of financing was led by SingTel Innov8, the corporate venture capital arm of the SingTel Group. Cross Creek Capital, a venture fund associated with Wasatch Advisors, also participated in this round along with existing investors Digital Advertising Consortium, Foundation Capital and Trinity Ventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cTubeMogul fits perfectly into our strategy of investing in top advertising companies that are poised for rapid growth in Asia,\u201d says Punit Chiniwalla, Director, SingTel Innov8. \u201cWe are impressed by the product and team on the ground and look forward to working more closely with the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company plans to use the capital to ramp up information technology infrastructure and hires in a region where it is already seeing traction. In the past year, TubeMogul\u2019s offices in Singapore and Sydney have grown from having a handful of sales executives to full teams spanning account management, marketing, and operations and planning. In addition, TubeMogul Japan, which was launched in February and led by CEO Masahiro Kano, has already signed on with several of the country\u2019s leading advertisers, including Digital Advertising Consortium and Omnibus.<\/p>\n

In line with its expansion, TubeMogul opened an office in Beijing today, headed by Director of Business Development Sven Rossbach. Previously, Mr. Rossbach helped Cadreon (Interpublic Group\u2019s trading desk) develop a presence in Asia, pioneering global technology partnerships. At TubeMogul, Mr. Rossbach\u2019s responsibility is simple: introduce Chinese brand marketers and publishers to the programmatic buying of video ads, and grow TubeMogul\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur private investments are focused on high-growth, late-stage companies with the potential to become public companies and TubeMogul fits that bill,\u201d says Karey Barker, CFA, Managing Director at Cross Creek Capital. \u201cTubeMogul will continue to see high growth as marketers adapt to changing consumer viewing habits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnering with best-in-class buying platform TubeMogul will help DAC continue to push the frontiers of real-time buying in Japan,\u201d said Hirotake Yajima, President and CEO at DAC. \u201cThe result creates a powerhouse for marketers looking to harness the persuasive power of video advertising.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTubeMogul is simplifying what was once a complex ecosystem for brand marketers and quantifiably delivering on their goals,\u201d says Ashu Garg, General Partner at Foundation Capital. \u201cWe look forward to continued collaboration with the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTubeMogul\u2019s singular focus on the intersection of branding and technology is resonating with marketers. In just over four years since Trinity first invested, TubeMogul has become an undisputed leader in programmatic brand advertising. We are delighted that TubeMogul is building a world-wide organization to bring its solution to marketers around the globe,\u201d says Ajay Chopra, General Partner at Trinity Ventures.<\/p>\n
