Global interactive marketing provider ExactTarget (NYSE:ET) announced today it was added to the Russell 3000^® Index and the Russell Global Index after equity markets closed June 22 as Russell Investments reconstituted its comprehensive family of global indexes.

“Being named to the Russell indexes is an honor that positions ExactTarget among the top publicly held companies.”

Annual reconstitution of Russell’s U.S. indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. publicly traded stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization.

“Following our successful initial public offering and posting record revenue in our first quarter as a public company, we are pleased to continue to build upon our momentum with our addition to the Russell indexes,” said Scott Dorsey, ExactTarget co-founder and chief executive officer. “Being named to the Russell indexes is an honor that positions ExactTarget among the top publicly held companies.”

Membership in the Russell indexes remain in place for one year with membership determined primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. In the institutional marketplace, an industry-leading $3.9 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them.

Russell calculates more than 80,000 benchmarks daily covering approximately 98 percent of the investable market globally, 83 countries and more than 10,000 securities. These investment tools originated from Russell’s multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.

The news of ExactTarget’s inclusion in the Russell 3000^® Index and the Russell Global Index follows the launch of the company’s next generation mobile marketing application – MobileConnect. Available as a standalone application or fully integrated into the ExactTarget Interactive Marketing Hub, MobileConnect provides a cloud-based application to power SMS alerts and mobile marketing messages worldwide. MobileConnect features intuitive message templates, easy-to-use reporting, advanced enterprise management of short/long codes and keywords and cross-channel integration with campaigns across email, social media and the web.
