Enterprise Edition to Enable Lead Brands To Run Marketing By Numbers

Entire industries are standardizing on BrightEdge’s technology; newly released platform delivers on the complex needs of mature global organizations

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – SHARE15 – September 22, 2015 – Within the past year, BrightEdge has established its content performance marketing platform as the trusted standard for enterprise-level organizations, securing adoption across entire industries and increasing the number of enterprise customers — those achieving more than half a billion in annual revenue — by over 50 percent in the last year. BrightEdge enterprise customers now exceed 1,200 of today’s top brands and include global leaders like Uber, Microsoft and 3M. In response to this standardization on BrightEdge’s technology, the company today unveiled its Enterprise Edition at Share15, the industry event for digital marketers by digital marketers.

“Enterprise organizations are tasked with running incredibly sophisticated content programs that deliver at massive scale. In fact, if you look at some of our largest customers, you’ll see organizations who have 800 employees logging into the BrightEdge platform in a single day, using it to run their marketing programs in 45 countries, or to support 870 brick and mortar locations simultaneously,” said Jim Yu, CEO and Co-Founder of BrightEdge. “These large organizations need a performance-focused solution that lets them run marketing by the numbers. The capabilities we’ve included in Enterprise Edition are essential for leading organizations as they mature.”

Year to date, customers have run 10 million queries through the Data Cube and optimized 1.33 million pieces of content using the BrightEdge platform. In that same time period, hundreds of new enterprise-level organizations have selected BrightEdge to transform their online content into a direct driver of business results — 60 percent of which upgraded to BrightEdge from downloadable web tools. Today, BrightEdge’s 1,200+ total customers include the top 10 largest online retailers, eight out of the top 10 largest hospitality groups and eight of the top 10 largest technology companies.

“We are humbled by the level of trust that the global content marketing community has placed in BrightEdge,” said Lemuel Park, CTO and Co-Founder of BrightEdge. “We created Enterprise Edition to deliver flexibility, impact, control and performance to today’s leading content marketers. This platform is designed to meet – and exceed – the needs of complex global brands who want to take their content performance to the next level.”

Enterprise Edition shares the same technological foundation that powers all of BrightEdge’s award-winning solutions: the Data Cube, a massive web-wide index of content performance, and Data Quant, an intelligence layer that delivers immediate, actionable insights. This enhanced edition of the platform includes additional enterprise-grade features that allow for the increased scalability, security, customization and administration that robust content marketing programs require.

“At Maxim we are dealing with a global audience. We needed a system that would allow us to monitor our progress and see how our sites were performing. BrightEdge allows us to do that,” said Robert Reneau, Director of Digital Marketing, Maxim Integrated. “[BrightEdge’s] capacity to scale to handle our traffic from around the world and monitor performance is incredible.”
