Leading Independent Analyst Firm Noted Rocket Fuel is “Heavily Committed to Developing ‘Marketing that Learns’ through Artificial Intelligence”

Rocket Fuel (NASDAQ: FUEL), a leading programmatic marketing platform provider that uses artificial intelligence (AI) at Big Data scale to optimize marketing ROI for global agencies and enterprise marketers, today announced that Forrester Research, Inc. recognized Rocket Fuel as a Strong Performer in the DSP market in the recently released The Forrester Wave™: Demand-Side Platforms, Q2 2015 report. Traditionally known for its managed service DSP, Rocket Fuel believes that its recognition by Forrester reflects the company’s strength in AI-based media optimization and customer adoption of its self-service DSP.

“Rocket Fuel’s DSP offers a simplified approach to programmatic, allowing Search Optics to remain strategic and hands-on with our media while serving a high volume of clients,” said Alex Meakin, Sr. Display Manager, Search Optics. “Rocket Fuel’s DSP is easy to use and intuitive. Most importantly, the combination of AI and hands-on media management allows us to optimize campaigns to effectively meet client goals. The AI in Rocket Fuel’s DSP also provides campaign insights beyond impressions and clicks that offer clients a better perspective into the campaign’s audiences.”

In Forrester’s Wave report, Rocket Fuel also received the third-highest score in the Current Offering category, and was cited for its focus on “providing marketers with an autonomous programmatic buying platform.” It was also noted for being “heavily committed to developing ‘marketing that learns’ through artificial intelligence.”

“With Rocket Fuel’s DSP we have the confidence to let the AI work its magic and achieve our campaign goals, while we focus on high-value, advanced analysis for our clients," said Angela Breeze, Director of Real-Time Trading, ARC, a subsidiary of House of Kaizen. “The inherent value of Rocket Fuel’s DSP is its ability to transform data into actionable insights, offering our clients information that can be used to improve campaigns across all channels.”

“Rocket Fuel entered the self-service DSP market with a radically different approach focused on AI-based media optimization to drive performance, and we are proud to receive the third-highest score for our current offering,” said Monte Zweben, interim CEO, Rocket Fuel. “Our placement affirms the strength of our DSP to fundamentally transform the way advertising campaigns are planned, managed, and measured. We feel that we are closely aligned with the Forrester Wave’s vision to help marketers prepare for a programmatic world. We are well positioned to lead the new generation of programmatic marketing platforms that extends across all marketing channels.”

Rocket Fuel’s unique application of AI and Big Data optimizes campaigns in real time, connecting brands with their customers at the moment of influence to deliver improved ROI. Rocket Fuel DSP customers benefit from a rich feature set for flexible machine learning and tools for improving optimization. Rocket Fuel is committed to superior client service and empowering customers to be programmatic marketing leaders. 96 of the Ad Age Top 100 Advertisers have run ad campaigns powered by Rocket Fuel.
