it really means a ratio (1:1), a quantitative, mathematical relationship, however, somehow in their glee, a marketing team decided it will have a qualitative meaning. seems like they confused with one-on-one. see http://www.cibcwoodgundy.com/brand/ for example. also look for the term used in the title of several marketing books and web sites.
