Financial details were not disclosed, although both companies share Sequoia Capital and DAG Ventures as investors. PopularMedia has raised more than $12 million, including $8 million in a round last summer. One of the company’s products adds a “social layer” to standard banner ads in order to extend their reach; another is a widget that makes it easy for visitors to a website to comment about the content or share it on a social network. StrongMail, meanwhile, sells e-mail marketing tools. StrongMail said it would now be able to offer integrated e-mail and social media campaigns. Release.
