Siemens Launches Major Online Campaign with PHD and DG MediaMind
Leading Publishers including Bloomberg, Salon, Fox, TIME, BBC & The Atlantic, Create High Impact, Exclusive Programs to Increase Brand Engagement
August 5, 2013 - New York, NY - DG® (NASDAQ: DGIT), the world's leading multiscreen ad management company, and PHD, a leading global strategic planning network, announced the kickoff of a multichannel Siemens campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise brand awareness with a focus on Siemens' contribution to manufacturing in North America.
The campaign represents a shift in Siemens' advertising strategy that will now include running more high impact programs with fewer publisher partners. Each of the publishers was handpicked by PHD and will be committing significant media resources to the Siemens brand. For example, Bloomberg will be creating a specific manufacturing channel that will be solely sponsored by Siemens.
"It is very important for us that our brand is aligned with the content where the ads appear in order to maximize impact and send a consistent brand message," said, Josh Kidd, Senior Digital Marketing Manager, Siemens. "The PHD methodology coupled with DG MediaMind technology will enable us to execute on that strategy."
"PHD went through a rigorous process to choose which publisher partners would best meet the Siemens high-impact strategy," said Michael Hill, Digital Supervisor, PHD. "The MediaMind campaign management platform enables us to deliver high impact formats, together with rigorous analytics and stellar customer service, for a key client."
"The Siemens campaign is an excellent example of a high impact program coupled with network exchanges for efficiencies," said Ricky Liversidge, DG CMO. "PHD, known for their planning, was able to leverage our campaign management technology in order to maximize impact."
The campaign, scheduled to start at the beginning of August, will run on leading publishers such as Bloomberg, Salon, Fox, TIME, BBC & The Atlantic, and will include breakthrough IAB formats such as the Filmstrip, Billboard and Pushdown.

Digital Generation Said to Snub Takeover Bid Topping $20
By Serena Saitto and Jeffrey McCracken - Jun 6, 2012 3:26 PM CT
Extreme Reach Inc. made an offer of more than $20 a share for rival Digital Generation Inc. (DGIT) that was rejected by the advertising-management company, said a person with direct knowledge of the situation. Digital Generation’s stock surged 26 percent.
Extreme Reach was told that the combination with Digital Generation might raise antitrust concerns, said the person, who declined to be identified as the deliberations are private. The company, which bid with Providence Equity Partners, has been excluded from the process, according to the person.
The per-share offer is more than double Digital Generation’s closing stock price yesterday. The Irving, Texas- based company, working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. on finding buyers, tried to sell itself a year ago, when its name was DG FastChannel, people close to the situation said at the time.
That sale process stalled after Digital Generation agreed to buy MediaMind Technologies Inc. last June, the person said. The company paid $481.3 million for MediaMind, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Digital Generation’s market value had sunk by about two-thirds since then through yesterday.
Fellow Suitors
Digital Generation’s sale process also attracted interest from Hellman & Friedman LLC and other private-equity firms, said another person with knowledge of the matter. Goldman Sachs sent out information on the company in recent weeks, that person said.
The stock climbed to $12.13 today in New York, giving the company a market value of $334.5 million. The market capitalization as of yesterday was $264.4 million.
Closely held Extreme Reach, based in Needham, Massachusetts, operates a network connecting more than 2,000 advertisers and agencies to major broadcast networks and websites. Co-founder John Roland, who also serves as chairman and chief executive officer, had served as president of Digital Generation’s predecessor before starting Extreme Reach.
Representatives at Extreme Reach and Digital Generation didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment. A spokesman at Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
Digital Generation generated sales of $92.8 million in the first quarter, a 46 percent increase from a year earlier. Reuters reported earlier that Hellman & Friedman was looking at Digital Generation.
