The acquisition of Social Fulcrum deepens Chicago-based Target Data’s paid media expertise. Social Fulcrum will become a business unit of Target Data, responsible for all paid social media execution. The entire Social Fulcrum team is expected to remain in place supporting the broader Target Data organization.
