Growth Investment to Accelerate Growth, Platform Development, and Post-Click Optimization Adoption

Instapage, the landing page and post-click optimization solution for digital advertisers, has announced a $15 million growth investment from Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, the growth-focused private investment platform within Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Investment funds will allow Instapage to accelerate the enterprise adoption of the Instapage post-click optimization solution, expedite platform development to further help large-scale marketers and advertisers improve ROI, and expand sales and client service operations.

“There is a significant relevance problem at the point of advertising conversion,” said Tyson Quick, Founder and CEO of Instapage. “Advertisers spend significant time and money deploying highly targeted ads that direct to the same generic visitor experience. We’re on a mission to solve this efficiency problem. Instapage has been instrumental in helping advertisers improve their operations, and we’re excited to continue on this trajectory with Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital as a partnering investor.”

Instapage was founded in 2012 to address the digital marketer’s problem that 96% of ad clicks do not convert by streamlining the process of deploying unique landing pages. Since then, Instapage has grown into a powerful set of post ad-click optimization products that enable advertisers and marketers to create, personalize, and optimize landing pages at scale to maximize conversions. Instapage improves advertising ROI by providing a rich, scalable, and highly intuitive suite of features and analytics, which promotes rapid time-to-market while reducing dependence on costly technical resources.
