At VigLink, we believe the future of marketing lies within the untapped potential of digital content covering commercial products across the Web. We empower influential publishers who produce this content to connect enthusiastic consumers with the products they love from the brands who value them the most. We accomplish this directly through publishers` words, without need for an ad. By identifying commercial products mentioned within a publisher`s content, VigLink automatically invigorates those terms by transforming them into hyperlinks whose destinations are determined in real-time, advertiser-bid auctions. Yes, hyperlinks, the defining feature of the Web from the very start. The literal “H” in HTML. Every time a clicked link takes a person from one destination to another, value is created. However, that value has never been fairly priced or available for purchase at scale. Until now. Founded in 2009, VigLink is located in heart of San Francisco and backed by top investors including Google Ventures, Emergence Capital, and RRE. VigLink manages a publisher network of over 300,00 sites and apps, a well as an advertiser network of over 40,000 brands and merchants.
We`re an independent agency, made up of independent people. Thinkers, tinkerers, designers, writers, planners, poets, inventors, innovators and robot makers. Our independence defines us, not a holding company. Because while every agency can offer up the muscle, only a shop as independent as ours can put in the hustle necessary to create real results for your brand.
You can either adapt to change, ignore it, or lead it. At Publicis Kaplan Thaler, we help our clients take the lead. For change that helps them redefine the competitive landscape, leap ahead of the competition, become part of the public consciousness, and start a movement. On July 12, 2012, Publicis New York, part of Publicis Worldwide in the USA, and the Kaplan Thaler Group, part of the Paris-based Publicis Groupe, merged to form Publicis Kaplan Thaler. The combined New York-based entity, with over 650 employees, became the U.S. flagship agency within the Publicis Worldwide Network of over 200 offices in 82 countries. The merger combined the strengths of Publicis New York’s vast global expertise with the Kaplan Thaler Group’s reputation for building iconic brands that became part of the culture. From the onset, Publicis Kaplan Thaler offered clients an entrepreneurial spirit with global scale that is idea-driven across all communications platforms. The agency is fully integrated with digital, social and technology at its core. Publicis Kaplan Thaler is led by Chairman Linda Kaplan Thaler, CEO Robin Koval, and President / Chief Creative Officer Rob Feakins.
