History

Millennial Media was founded in May 2006 by Paul Palmieri and Chris Brandenburg.[3][4] On January 27, 2014, Palmieri stepped down from his position and was replaced by Michael Barrett.[5]

Millennial Media has acquired several companies, including TapMetrics in 2010,[6] Condaptive in 2011,[7] Jumptap in 2013,[8] and Nexage in 2014.

Beginning in March 2009, Millennial Media has provided regular research reports.[9][10][11] Millennial Media has won several awards.[12][13][14][15][16]

Financials

Millennial Media received $64.8M in funding between 2007 and 2011.[17][18][19]

In January 2012, Millennial Media filed with the SEC for an initial public offering of its common stock,[20] and the company was first listed in March 2012.[20]

When Millennial Media went public, it was noted that "The company has never been profitable since its inception in 2006, and warns that it may not ever be."[21] In the second quarter of 2014, Millennial Media's stock lost more than one-fourth of its value, finishing the quarter in the bottom 2% of NYSE-listed stocks.[22] In July, 2014, several analysts downgraded their ratings of the company's stock.[23][24][25] In 2014, former Yahoo and Google executive Michael Barrett was appointed Millennial Media's new CEO.[26]
