Adthena from the company of the same name in London is a marketing intelligence tool for search marketing focusing on keyword research, analysis, and suggestion for optimizing the budgeting and management of pay per click (PPC) advertising campaigns. Adthena algorithmically searches industry-relevant keywords and also the actual ad copy appearing in search engines, a less seen feature used for competitive analysis and brand differentiation (i.e. so your ads appear or do not appear like your competitor's, as you prefer).
A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use AdGooroo for our competitive SEM research and reporting. We upload our campaign keywords to AdGooroo and then get access to competitive insights across thousands of keywords and categories.
Pros
Track and monitor spend and performance against competitors.
Identify missed keyword opportunities.
Informs our campaign and keyword budgeting/bidding on a daily basis.
Cons
I wish their graphs/infographics were more ready to use so I could quickly drop into presentations instead of having to format or re-do them myself.
Has a bit of a high learning curve.
There is a limit on the number of keywords you can upload. For large clients there shouldn't be a cap. I want to be able to upload all of my client's keywords.
