After achieving initial success, TPG then started expanding into other content programs that could educate banks on how to better communicate the value that they offer to their customers. Red Ventures was already known for its amazing access to content platforms through distribution; and now that it has direct access to Bankrate’s content and data platform (including TPG), it is able to offer a complete suite of audience data and media services.
