inPowered (formerly NetShelter) is an earned advertising platform that enables brands to amplify what experts are saying about them.
The platform is changing advertising by helping marketers discover positive articles and blog posts authored by credible experts and allowing them to amplify that earned media through paid advertising and social channels. Unlike other forms of paid advertising, inPowered harnesses the trust and credibility of earned media to influence consumer behavior. http://inpwrd.com @inpwrd
