New York - Pica9, a provider of online ad building and brand management tools, announced on Wednesday that it has raised $2.8 million in a round of angel financing.

The round was led by John Buckner -- who was also named the company's chief operating officer -- and included participation from InterSearch Group.

New York-based Pica9's systems allow local representatives of major brands, such as resellers, franchisees and salespeople, to create locally targeted campaigns combining print, broadcast and online media.

The company will use the funds to expand its management team, as well as for product development and sales.
