"We're thrilled that we are able to leverage our search expertise and technology leadership to incorporate Baidu's API," said Ian Leuchars, senior Vice President of Search Marketing Services for 24/7 Real Media. "This will be very beneficial for advertisers with global search campaigns, especially those with a desire to reach China's rapidly growing online population."

Integration with Baidu gives the company access to a growing market.
