SeeSawAds.com Enables Unprecedented Customization of Vast Digital Signage Network

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - March 5, 2008) - SeeSaw Networks, a media company offering the
most extensive digital out-of-home media network, announced today that it
released the next generation of its online planning service, SeeSawAds.com.
New services such as Life Pattern Planning, trade area targeting, improved
campaign optimization, customized proposal generation and search enable
media agencies to provide more efficient media plans across an extensive
network of 22,000 digital signage locations and be more responsive to their
advertising clients' needs.
With SeeSaw's technology, the process of creating customized digital
out-of-home media plans goes from weeks to minutes. Prior to SeeSaw, media
planners would spend weeks of time collecting information, building
spreadsheets and trying to rationalize disparate information to create a
national digital out-of-home media plan. SeeSawAds.com allows media
planners and SeeSaw's sales teams to explore inventory, create a customized
campaign, and generate a client-ready proposal for advertisers in minutes.
Now agencies can focus on the most effective campaign strategies by
providing strategic "what-if" alternatives for clients instead of focusing
on time-consuming data collection.
"Our family of agencies deliver more efficient digital out-of-home media
plans with better and more consistent measurement to our advertisers using
SeeSaw's technology," Tim Hanlon executive vice president of ventures at
Denuo, a Publicis Groupe company. "Ultimately, this technology coupled with
SeeSaw's vast network data allows us to deliver improved customer service
to our clients." Starcom has used SeeSawAds.com for national digital
signage advertising campaigns with Disney and Zenith Optimedia has bought
customized media plans for Verizon.
With the new release, media planners are able to plan against specific
audience segments or 'Life Patterns' to further streamline the campaign
planning process. Using the Life Pattern Marketing methodology, SeeSaw also
identified and introduced five new life patterns to its offering including
Hispanic families, young urban professionals, entertainment fans, nightlife
enthusiasts and families on-the-go, providing media planners with
pre-defined media packages that they can use as is to target specific
people or customize to make their own Life Patterns.
"SeeSawAds.com efficiently and effectively harnesses the collective scale
of dozens of large and small digital signage networks to unify a fragmented
marketplace and provide national advertisers with the media impact they
need," said Monte Zweben, co-founder and chairman of SeeSaw Networks.
"SeeSaw is the only network that leverages optimizing planning technology
to provide agencies with superior media plans that facilitate much deeper
strategic analysis with advertisers."
The Web-based planning solution also includes performance improvements that
will scale up to SeeSaw's goal of delivering over 5 billion ad-aware
impressions annually. Another technological breakthrough is the new
capability for agencies and advertisers to target a trading area around
specific locations by specifying a set of addresses and setting a trade
area radius around those locations.
For example, retailers can advertise sales and promotions to alpha moms
around their brick-and-mortar stores, bankers can drive foot traffic from
young urban professionals by surrounding their branches, automotive
manufacturers can build brand awareness with mobile millennials for new
models by advertising around their dealerships, entertainment companies can
build buzz for movie premieres intercepting entertainment fans near movie
theaters, and cellular providers can connect with college students at
locations around universities.
SeeSawAds.com provides media planners with the most efficient way to create
digital out-of-home media campaigns based on an advertiser's marketing
objectives. The online service utilizes a search algorithm called the
SeeSaw Optimizer, which allows a media planner to specify media objectives
such as target markets, demographics, behavioral characteristics or Life
Patterns, budget, and length of advertising spot and then produces the
optimal media plan based on the available inventory.
Visit SeeSaw Networks at the American Association of Advertising Agencies
(AAAA) Media Conference and Tradeshow in Orlando, Fla. now through March 6
at Booth #111 to see the next generation version of SeeSawAds.com in
action.
