StrongMail Catapults Past 500th Customer Milestone, Secures Groundbreaking Patents and Strengthens Market Momentum

StrongMail awarded patents for its delivery technology as it passes the 500 customer mark with key enterprise customers that include AT&T Interactive, Tesco and TV Guide Digital

Redwood City, Calif., July 13, 2010 – StrongMail, a leading provider of online marketing solutions for email and social media, today announced that it has passed the 500 customer milestone and has been awarded multiple patents on its innovative delivery technology, which pushes its performance above competing solutions in terms of throughput, reliability, intelligent delivery, and real-time optimization and reporting. Recent StrongMail customers who helped push the company past the 500 mark include renowned global brands such as AT&T Interactive, Tesco and TV Guide Digital.

StrongMail’s rapid growth among medium- to large-sized enterprises is being driven by its break-away email marketing and social media solutions that are unique in the industry, and give marketers definitive control to effectively engage consumers over email, social media, mobile and other digital channels. Companies that understand the value and criticality of their customer communications are turning to StrongMail as the only provider offering dedicated, cost-effective solutions alongside a comprehensive array of strategic, creative, deliverability and technical services. This blend of unique technology and broad services is a key component of StrongMail’s success, which is challenging the status quo presented by traditional outsourced providers.

Since the company’s founding, StrongMail has continued to drive innovation in the industry. With the release of its first email products, StrongMail reengineered the standard email delivery engine to address the crippling email deliverability challenges facing the industry. As a result, many of the world’s largest brands are getting their email delivered with StrongMail’s patented, groundbreaking technology, which facilitates the rapid, reliable and intelligent delivery of high-volume email.

In addition to investing in its email technology and services, StrongMail has also demonstrated its commitment to emerging channels by being the first top-tier email solution provider to integrate its solutions with social media, made possible by StrongMail’s acquisition of San Francisco-based Popular Media last year. StrongMail is also leveraging innovative new ways to better serve clients with the recent launch of its Spark online community, which provides direct access to StrongMail and industry experts.

“The typical StrongMail customer comes to us after hitting the wall with their current provider, at which point they quickly realize that we can easily address their challenges with powerful and cost-effective solutions that go above and beyond their needs both today and in the future,” said Sam Cece, CEO of StrongMail. “From two of the three world’s largest retailers, to some of the most popular brands in entertainment, financial services and the Web, StrongMail has amassed an impressive customer list that we are working hard for every day to maximize their investment in smart, effective online marketing.”
