Tokyo, Japan (PRWEB) October 18, 2010

Beyond Media Global, a regional KENSHOO partner, announced today that Septeni, one of the Japan’s largest internet ad agencies, has selected the KENSHOO Search platform to optimize online campaigns for its clients. Septeni, with over 1,000 clients and partially owned by Yahoo Japan Corporation, will use KENSHOO Search to analytically verify cost performance and quickly implement marketing actions to improve return on investment of large paid search campaigns.

As the market for Internet advertisements has expanded, the diverse needs of Septeni’s clients have become more complex.

Septeni will be leveraging functionality such as model based bid management and a key solution for retail clients, KENSHOO’s RealTime Campaigns, which links ads with real-time inventory availability for maximum relevancy and efficiency.

“The ability of KENSHOO Search to efficiently manage millions of keywords for our large clients is essential,” said Hiroki Aikawa, Operating Officer for Septeni. “KENSHOO’s deep functionality and sophistication will help us deliver results for clients with unique requirements in the Japan market. Our clients depend on us to provide an integrated and efficient solution and KENSHOO enables us to deliver precisely that.”

Japan is one of the most sophisticated markets in the world and represents an ecommerce market of over 1 Trillion US in Sales revenue per year, according to Morgan Stanley Research Reports.

“We are excited that KENSHOO Search technology is gaining traction in Japan, which we consider to be one of the most significant online markets,” said Andrey Shirben, Partner & Head of APAC, KENSHOO. “Septeni's focus on delivering measurable, high quality results to their clients complements our mission to deliver sophisticated, cutting edge technology.
