ExactTarget confirms Atlanta expansion

By
May 16, 2013

An Indiana digital marketing company confirmed on Thursday its plans expand its Atlanta operations and add 225 jobs in Buckhead.

ExactTarget is expected to invest $1.25 million in the expansion over the next five years, according to a state news release. ExactTarget provides email and other electronic marketing services. It acquired Atlanta-based startup Pardot last year for nearly $100 million.

Last month, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported ExactTarget’s interest in Atlanta. City economic development officials declined to confirm the company’s name at the time, but termed project as a regional headquarters.

The company is eligible for $2.9 million in various state tax credits for jobs created over the next 10 years, according to a state economic development spokeswoman. On Thursday, the board of Invest Atlanta, the city’s development arm, also approved a $200,000 grant for the company.
