Lucini & Lucini Announces Plans for China Headquarters, Ramps Up for SaaS Email Marketing Platform for Advertisers
Leading global Consumer Web Company seeks 10M in Series A funding as it continues to capitalize on emerging market opportunities
Privately-held, global Consumer Web Company Lucini & Lucini Communications Group, based in Milan, Italy, has announced plans to open its China headquarters as the company prepares for its first major investment round. After steady growth in 2010 and the first half of 2011, Lucini & Lucini reached its 40M user milestone and launched their proprietary e-mail marketing technology platform, ADsender.
Currently, Lucini & Lucini has a staff of sixteen at their European headquarters, manages seventy-five global clients (which range from mega-brands to digital advertising agencies), and reports $4.5M in revenue per year. With Series A funding, the company will build the human capital and I.T. infrastructure to support their newest product: S.A.M. (Self-acting Ad Manager). The platform will utilize the ADsender IP and 40M global user database to provide advertising agencies and enterprises with a self-service, on-demand email marketing platform. Marketers will have the ability to upload their advert, self-select target groups, choose their budget, and access data in real-time – much like Google AdWords and Facebook Ads, but with an email marketing delivery system.
“We are extremely excited about this next phase for our company, and believe that by positioning ourselves in one of the fastest growing, emerging markets we will be able to secure the funding necessary to scale our current offering,” remarked Lucini & Lucini CEO, Marco Lucini. “Our goal is to become a viable, self-service channel for marketers in addition to banner ads, search advertising, and social network advertising.”
To date, Lucini & Lucini has been engaged to promote brands such as: Google, Cisco, Lufthansa, Cathay Pacific, Disney Mobile, Club Med, Bic, Philips, L’Oreal, American Express, Dior, Bvlgari, Nokia, Porsche, Mini, Jack Daniels, Heineken and Red Bull.
