San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 05, 2013

GinzaMetrics is the only platform available that conducts daily analysis of major search engines around the world, combined with social signal data, to deliver actionable content recommendations to marketers.
The platform was created in 2010 and quickly backed by Y Combinator and 500 Startups. Proof for the industrys appetite for an earned media recommendation and analytics solution, GinzaMetrics has doubled revenue year-over-year on seed funding alone. The team has also grown to include members in six different countries around the world and has also expanded leadership to match the growing enterprise market.
Today, GinzaMetrics also announced that it named Sean McCullough as its new CTO. As a successful entrepreneur, McCullough will be responsible for establishing strategic technology and engineering for the company.
Ray Grieselhuber, GinzaMetrics CEO, cites the detail of the platforms analytics as a consistent selling point to its enterprise customers.
When you build your platform for todays technology, meaning a unified search, social and content view, you can rapidly respond to what customers are really looking for, Grieselhuber said. One of our best-loved features is competitor comparison data. Because it is so granular, marketers are able to dig into the real reasons target audiences are being reached or missed.
GinzaMetrics new platform UI and features move it into prime position to continue capturing enterprise and agency marketshare. This year, its anticipated that more than 25 percent of marketing dollars will be allocated to content marketing. According to an annual survey of digital marketers by Adobe and Econsultancy, content marketing is the top priority in 2013.
