LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 21, 2016--
On the heels of forming a UK-based sales and account management team, Marchex
(NASDAQ: MCHX), a mobile advertising analytics company, today announced
strong demand for its Marchex Call Analytics platform in the UK and
Europe. The platform, which connects phone sales to digital media
channels, is seeing increasing adoption from large advertisers looking
to maximize media efficiency and business operations when a consumer
uses a mobile phone to make an offline purchase.
Marchex Call Analytics has been adopted by leading brands across Europe
in a wide variety of industries, including AccorHotels, Yell and First
Stop. “We launched Marchex Call Analytics in the UK and United States in
order to gain real-time visibility and insights into performance of our
digital advertising campaigns,” said Kurt Stephenson, e-Commerce
Innovation Manager at AccorHotels, the world’s leading hotel operator.
“Within weeks, we achieved a 10x ROI on our investment, and we look
forward to a further global rollout.”
Marchex Call Analytics is now available in seven European countries,
including UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and the
Netherlands. In addition, Marchex has added roles in account management
and sales and opened an office in Central London. “Large advertisers are

journey,” said Anna Forbes, Managing Director, UK at Marchex. “As such,
we are seeing strong interest from brands and agencies in Marchex Call

Consumers in the UK and Europe are increasingly using mobile devices to
research and select products and services, and using click-to-call to

purchase for UK consumers in industries such as Auto, Telcos, Insurance,
Travel, Home Services and Professional Services.
