New York, New York, May 11, 2010 – Mediaedge:cia (MEC), a leading media agency, today turned to Eyeblaster, the leading independent provider of integrated digital advertising solutions, to develop new ways to serve and manage global or pan-regional campaigns for major entertainment, gaming and technology brands. Improved capabilities of global deployment address advertisers’ need for efficiencies of scale, worldwide analytics and concurrent time to market.
“We work with brands who demand integrated communication strategies that extend to multiple regions, countries and channels,” said Ryan Murdoch, Head of Analytics and Insights at MEC. “Choosing Eyeblaster to be one of our global partners brings economies of scale to our roster of clients along with a global perspective, allowing us to analyze each campaign locally, regionally and globally.”
MediaMind’s open architecture provides an open workflow that easily integrates with MEC’s integrated solutions approach. Other unique capabilities include cross channel analytics, unified path to conversion analysis and ubiquitous service and publisher acceptance.
“Media campaigns with key commodities are increasingly handled globally day-and-date,” said Heath Tyldesley, VP Interactive Marketing at Paramount Pictures International. “Having the tools to facilitate complex pan-regional executions help provide our teams with key efficiencies operationally, ultimately translating into better ROI for Paramount’s international media activity. “
“MEC shows that there’s a real motivation to employ advertising campaigns that expand worldwide,” said Gal Trifon, CEO and Co-founder at Eyeblaster. “And, Eyeblaster’s unparalleled global network, which in 2009 delivered campaigns in 55 countries, offers the scale and local expertise for brands and agencies to efficiently achieve this goal.”
