ADOTAS – Marin Software, a provider of paid search management applications for advertisers and agencies, has launched a marketing campaign that aims to wake up somnambulant search marketers.

The “No Black Box” campaign – which includes print and online advertising, lead gen and more – was designed to show how search marketing, while becoming a strategic imperative for many, lacks the technological infrastructure that encourages advertisers who want to manage and grow their ad spend.

“Large search marketing programs have become increasingly complex, with typical programs encompassing hundreds of thousands of keywords across hundreds of concurrent campaigns, but many companies and agencies are still struggling to manage these programs with linked spreadsheets, low-functionality ad center applications or a patchwork of point solutions. We refer to these as ‘black box’ solutions because they provide marketers and agencies with very little visibility or control over their programs,” said Marc Barach, chief marketing officer of Marin Software. “Marin’s ‘No Black Box’ campaign aims to expose the limitations of yesterday’s search marketing technology and introduce a new approach to managing search programs that addresses the needs of professional search marketers.”

Marin Software said it offers the industry’s first enterprise-class paid search management application, helping advertisers and agencies manage their SEM programs to save time and improve financial performance. A complete software-as-a-service solution for paid search management, Marin Search Marketer includes cross-publisher campaign management, automatic keyword generation and submission, flexible revenue tracking and bid optimization, and business-level analytics.

Marin Software’s clients include Microsoft’s Avenue A | Razorfish, Zappos.com and ZipRealty.

Right now, at the beginning of 2012, what are you watching the most closely for its ad and marketing opportunities?
Mobile. Smart devices have become standard, and advertising is only going to become more creative there.

Online video. It's a real competitor to TV now, and it presents really interesting ways to engage viewers.

Social media. The new Facebook timeline and the surge of Google+ have cracked the game wide open again.

Tempting as it might be, I don't want to get too involved in one aspect.

See, I think this might be a good time to see what would happen if we revisited MySpace, but made the ads slightly bigger... with more strobe effect.
