Alliance Data Systems acquired the email marketing service DoubleClick Email Solutions on Tuesday from the digital advertising agency DoubleClick for $90 million in a move that bolsters its marketing presence.

Alliance’s Epsilon business will integrate DoubleClick Email’s 220 full-time employees into its Epsilon Interactive (formerly known as Bigfoot Interactive) operating unit and brand.

The DoubleClick email business is one of the biggest email marketing service providers in the industry, with operations stretching across North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. However, now might be a good time for the web advertising giant to sell the unit.
