About adSage
adSage operates as a digital advertising agency with a pronounced focus on bridging Western companies with the Chinese market. Founded in 2007 by Zhaohui Tang, the company established its headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, to serve American advertisers aiming to connect with China's expansive online audience.
The firm provides a comprehensive suite of digital marketing services, including search engine marketing (SEM), social media marketing, pay-per-click (PPC), search engine optimization (SEO), and mobile advertising. A significant aspect of its business model revolves around its official partnerships with major Chinese technology and media companies like Baidu, Tencent, and Sina Weibo. These alliances enable adSage to offer its clients direct advertising access to some of China's largest online platforms. The company caters to a diverse clientele, ranging from financial service providers and educational institutions to luxury brands and technology companies such as Microsoft and Amazon.
adSage's revenue is generated through providing these specialized marketing and advertising services. In September 2011, the company secured $20 million in a Series A funding round from investors including SIG Asia and Meridian Capital. A notable milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by Shanghai Oriental Pearl (Group) Company on August 19, 2014, for $100 million.
