TRA said that the cash will be used to fund market expansion, technology developments data acquisition and hiring additional key personnel.
Intel Capital president Arvind Sodhani said: “Media is driven by advertising and advertising in the 21st Century is driven by data, By leveraging connectivity, analytics and database technologies, TRA’s solutions align with Intel’s goal of discovering new and innovative technological solutions that have the potential to redefine traditional vertical industry ecosystems.”
