Sizmek Sunsets Rocket Fuel


Prepares for major brand relaunch as Sizmek
First step of company-wide strategic imperative around transparency

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Sizmek Inc., the largest independent buy-side advertising platform delivering impressions that inspire, today announced its retiring the Rocket Fuel brand. This announcement also signifies the unification of both brands under the Sizmek identity and signals the first step towards a unified platform offering clients increased transparency, control, and simplicity.  

“Sunsetting the Rocket Fuel brand reduces distraction in the industry, and gives us the opportunity to go to market with one brand, one voice, and one identity—all centered in one powerful and well respected Sizmek brand,” said Eric Duerr, Chief Marketing Officer of Sizmek. “Through our combined capabilities in data enablement, creative optimization and media execution, we’re in a stronger position than ever to meet and exceed the industry’s expectations while giving our clients the transparency they deserve.”

“Rocket Fuel pioneered using AI to optimize media to drive superior performance. As these two companies have come together, we are offering our clients that same AI-enabled performance through a fully transparent platform,“ said Mark Grether, Chief Executive Officer of Sizmek.
“Sizmek empowers clients with AI-driven insights to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.
We are furthering our mission to bring our clients true transparency and increased control for AI-enabled media planning and buying.”
