Expedia Selects Kenshoo Following Extensive Trial

SAN FRANCISCO, February 13, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Kenshoo [http://www.kenshoo.com ] (http://www.kenshoo.com), a global leader in
digital marketing software, today announced that Expedia [http://www.expedia.com ] has
licensed Kenshoo Enterprise to manage its global search engine marketing (SEM).

    Expedia's selection of Kenshoo as its technology partner for search marketing and
social advertising follows a two-month trial period in which the Kenshoo platform was
pitted head-to-head against other market-leading solutions.

    "After our trial period, we were confident that Kenshoo would be a valuable asset in
optimizing our online marketing and advertising efforts," said Justin Richmond, vice
president of search marketing, Expedia. "They offer a great product."

    Kenshoo Enterprise allows Expedia to create, manage, and optimize paid search
marketing campaigns across channels like Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL, Baidu and Yandex.
Though intelligent automation and advanced algorithms, Kenshoo delivers the tools needed
to manage sophisticated global search programs at scale.

    Expedia leveraged Kenshoo Social as a component of the partnership to manage Expedia's
Facebook Ads campaigns. Kenshoo's unique approach to creating audience segments allows
Expedia to test a number of targeting variables at scale. Targeted ads can be set up using
the Kenshoo Social Ad Manager, making the campaign building process much easier than
through traditional means. Kenshoo Social Ad Manager's integrated reporting also allows
for simpler performance management and improved bidding operations.

    "Expedia is very experienced when it comes to online advertising, so it's extremely
gratifying for Kenshoo to be chosen as its technology partner," said Yoav Izhar-Prato, CEO
at Kenshoo. "We're proud to have won the Expedia business and all of us at Kenshoo look
forward to collaborating with the Expedia team on future innovations in search and social
marketing."
