The company raised US $25 million last month backed by venture capitalist Jim Breyer’s Breyer Capital. Sequel Ventures is also a shareholder.

Twitter first went to Datalogix for measurement of ad campaigns, but later broadened the partnership to ad targeting early this year.

“We see a growing opportunity to enhance marketing by tightening the connection between media exposures and consumer product purchases, and this funding will be put to good use in building the dialog between brands and their best customers and prospects,” Datalogix CEO Eric Roza said in a statement.

Datalogix reports that its revenue has grown 50 percent since April 2013 with products that span video, mobile, social and display.its´main ad data providers competitors include: BlueKai, Acxiom and Epsilon.
