"Search marketers need technology like Marin's to help them navigate the waters of this burgeoning market, because the industry has simply outgrown Excel spreadsheets and first-generation solutions. The fact that Marin has attracted some of the world's largest advertisers and agencies underscores the strength of the company's enterprise-class, software-as-a-service solution.
