Global - In a bid to boost its ad offerings, Yahoo has acquired interclick for US$270 million.

With interclick, Yahoo will acquire unique data targeting capabilities, optimisation technologies and new premium supply, as well as a team experienced in selling audiences across disparate sources of pooled supply.

interclick's proprietary advertising and technology solutions will also enable the company to significantly improve data targeted solutions and optimised returns for advertisers.

"This investment underscores our focus on enhancing the performance of both our guaranteed and non-guaranteed display business across Yahoo and our partner sites and, combined with Yahoo's reach and advertising leadership, will deliver a powerful solution for marketers," Ross Levinsohn, EVP, Americas region, said.

interclick helps marketers navigate the complex data online ecosystem with tools such as Open Segment Manager (OSM) and its Genome Platform. These solutions were built to address the challenges of audience targeting by enabling a more holistic understanding of consumers through its deep integrations with leading data providers.

GCA Savvian Advisors, LLC acted as the lead financial advisor to interclick in connection with the transaction.
