Demandbase Partners with 10x10 Campaign for Girls Education to Reach Targeted Global Businesses

Demandbase, Inc., the real-time targeting and personalization platform, today announced the early results of a new campaign to target and engage donors at the top global companies on the behalf of the 10x10 Campaign for girls education. Demandbase's technology is helping 10x10 to laser target employees at philanthropic companies with the greatest global influence in order to drive awareness and donations to support the cause.

Directed by Academy Award nominated director Richard E. Robbins, with voice performances from Meryl Streep, Kerry Washington, Selena Gomez and others, Girl Rising reveals the extraordinary stories of girls from around the globe, fighting to overcome impossible odds on the road to realizing their dreams of education. In an effort to drive donations and support, the Demandbase platform serves personalized display ads to engage people who work at a pre-determined list of 57 companies for their philanthropic efforts and global influence.

Early results have shown increased clicks, impressions, social sharing, and donations to the cause. Ads personalized for each specific organization-along with the company's name and a tailored message-have increased its click-thru rate for 10x10 ads by 3X and 60 percent of the target companies engaged with the organization within the first month of the campaign launch.

"As a campaign that needs to make the most of our resources, we're thrilled to work with Demandbase and target those who are most likely to be excited to engage in our effors for girls education," said Holly Gordon, Executive Director of the 10x10 Campaign.

With Demandbase, prospects can be identified by the business they work for without the use of cookies or other tracking mechanisms, and ads are served only to the predetermined company targets. Initial results have shown that companies that received the ad were 4.4 times more likely to engage with 10x10.

"One of the core values at Demandbase is giving back to the community, both here in San Francisco and on a global scale," said Chris Golec, CEO of Demandbase. "We're thrilled to be able to use our technology to help drive the organizational support necessary to bring education to girls worldwide."

10x10 is a global campaign to educate and empower girls - working to create a ripple effect that will transform communities for generations. At the center of this campaign is an innovative feature film, Girl Rising, which journeys around the globe to witness the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change the world. From Robbins and the award-winning producers of The Documentary Group and Vulcan Productions, Girl Rising spotlights the stories of unforgettable girls born into unforgiving circumstances. It captures their dreams, their voices, and their remarkable lives.
