AdStage has raised $6.25 to improve cross-platform ad campaigns

For many brands, online ad campaigns take place across multiple platforms, so any tool that makes it more efficient to run these campaigns is quite welcome. A startup called AdStage lets you control and run campaigns on Facebook, Bing, Google AdWords, and LinkedIn all from one place, and it announced today that it has closed $6.25 million in new funding. AdStage is also announcing the release of a new app, Automated Rules, which lets you automate campaigns based on rules and recipes you set, even if you’re offline. “We were inspired by the simplicity and brilliance of the automation rules IFTTT created and wanted to do the same for ad campaign management. It’s a huge step forward toward our vision of easy online advertising. We’re helping advertisers create their own custom algorithms to meet their goals with a simple self-serve interface,” said co-founder and chief executive Sahil Jain in a statement.
