			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Edison Research Verifies Solid Results of New York City-based Advertising Campaign Using SeeSaw Networks’ National Network of Placed-Based Digital Screens</em></p>
<p><strong>SAN FRANCISCO, December 8, 2009</strong> – Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL), the world&#8217;s No. 1 airline, and Digitas, a leading global digital agency, today announced the results of a place-based digital advertising campaign aimed at raising awareness among business travelers in the New York area for Delta as a preferred international carrier. Edison Research, an independent research firm, conducted market research to gauge the effectiveness of the campaign, which also included traditional media. Using SeeSaw Networks’ national network of placed-based digital advertising screens, the campaign ran in locations that Delta’s target audience of business travelers visits throughout a busy week, such as ferry terminals, health clubs, gas stations and cafes.  The results indicate that the campaign increased awareness and drove stronger consideration for Delta’s international travel routes among the target audience.</p>
<p>Delta Air Lines and Digitas, which planned and ran the campaign between late February and mid June 2009, chose placed-based digital media as a component of their advertising strategy. SeeSaw’s comprehensive network provides the scale and context national advertisers need to intercept the “life patterns” of their target audience and deliver contextually relevant messages in multiple places throughout a busy week. In addition, SeeSaw’s precision targeting also enables highly targeted regional campaigns such as Delta’s four-month campaign in New York City. </p>
<p>“SeeSaw Networks allowed us to extend the reach of our place-based out-of-home program into key areas that provided us with the ability to target messages to specific places at certain day parts, and surround our target with relevant messaging at every point in their day,” said Pat Connolly, Vice President/Group Director, Digitas.  “Momentum for place-based digital video advertising has been building for quite some time, and as this Delta campaign on SeeSaw’s network demonstrates, this new medium continues to grow, providing advertisers the impact of out of home, with the flexibility of digital.”</p>
<p>Edison Research surveyed consumers prior to the launch of the place-based advertising campaign and again during the campaign to measure how effectively the messages reached Delta’s target audience and whether awareness was increased. The results indicate that Delta accomplished its goals.  Place-based digital advertising successfully reached the target audience and increased awareness of Delta as a preferred international carrier. Specifically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Awareness of Delta as an international carrier increased by more than 28%.  </li>
<li>Among business travelers, the perception that Delta “flies to the international destinations you want to go to” increased 26%. </li>
<li>The percentage of people “very likely” to recommend Delta to friends, family or colleagues increased by 61 percent. </li>
<li>32% of those who noticed the screens (index of 695 against U.S. national average) fit Delta’s income demo.</li>
<li>Those who noticed the screens were frequent travelers who had an average of 5.2 business trips a year. </li>
<li>Overall awareness of Delta increased by 15%.</li>
</ul>
<p>“The Delta campaign on SeeSaw’s national network demonstrates the power of place and how place-based digital advertising delivers business results by intercepting a specific audience across multiple touch points during their daily routines,” said Suzanne La Forgia, President of the Out-of-Home Video Advertising Bureau (OVAB).</p>
<p>During the campaign, multiple versions of creative rotated over five digital networks including on RMG Networks screens at cafes, on large plasmas on the WHEN network of health clubs, on cardio machines on the NetPulse network in health clubs, in ferry terminals through the Affinity Network, and on PumpTop TV at gas stations.  Digitas created four separate sets of creative, promoting Delta’s service to Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. These rotated on a weekly basis over the course of the campaign. Additionally, SeeSaw provided timely integrated proof of performance reports across multiple networks, enabling Delta Air Lines and Digitas to get regular feedback on the campaign’s performance.</p>
<p>“Like so many advertisers and agencies, Delta Air Lines and Digitas found that SeeSaw Networks combines scale, flexibility and sophisticated tools to make it easy to plan, manage and measure national place-based digital video advertising campaigns. This media offers a very cost effective way for advertisers to reach their target audience and is a perfect complement to a digital media campaign,” said Peter Bowen, CEO at SeeSaw Networks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Customized Place-based Digital Media Plans Drive Demand with College Students and Moms</em></p>
<p><strong>SAN FRANCISCO, June 23, 2009</strong> – SeeSaw Networks, a media company offering the most extensive network of place-based digital video advertising, today rolled out a set of place-based digital media plans focused on driving shopper demand for “Back to School” campaigns targeting the needs of more than 75 million students nationwide, including advertising to reach 18-24 year old college students. The customizable media plans leverage the most extensive selection of place-based digital networks in the industry to reach moms shopping for their children in over 200 media markets, or to reach over 60% of the nation’s 18 million college students on and around more than 600 college campuses. The media plans include creative services that allow advertisers to leverage existing digital assets from television, web or print advertising to quickly and cost effectively develop high impact creative optimized for their “Back to School” place-based digital video campaigns.    </p>
<p>The back to school season is second only to holiday shopping in the amount of revenue generated for retailers (Source: U.S. Census Bureau). And, the youth market has long been a strategic target for many advertisers as it represents the critical life stage when businesses can capture and create lifelong customers.  With the explosive growth of place-based digital networks, college students report that place-based digital advertising is more unique, entertaining and less annoying than traditional media, and moms rank place-based digital advertising as the number one way to capture their attention (Source: OTX Digital Out-of-Home Media Awareness and Attitude Study). </p>
<p>“Back to school is a ritual for families with children and college students during which they open the door to a broad array of new products and services, ranging from apparel to computers to financial services,” said Peter Bowen, CEO, SeeSaw Networks. “Place-based digital video advertising has truly revolutionized the way companies can behaviorally target and interact with this highly attractive consumer audience when they are actively in the market to buy.” </p>
<p>The unique methodology behind SeeSaw’s “Back to School” media plans enable companies to intercept college students or moms with kids by mapping their behaviors and routines with place-based touch points on their path to purchase. This allows advertisers to build the perception of brand ubiquity or to drive consideration and brand preference while increasing the likelihood of reaching both students and their parents when they are in the market for new products and services. The media plans are custom-built with agencies and advertisers based on the specific marketing objectives of a campaign, and the behavioral profiles and life patterns of the target audience. For example: </p>
<p style="margin-left:10px">
<strong>Targeting College Students on Campus to Drives Sales</strong><br />
A recent digital video campaign on SeeSaw’s network targeting young women on college campuses for a youth-oriented retailer resulted in a significant sales lift for a specific product line in the markets where the campaign ran. (Source: retailer sales data). SeeSaw has extended its reach onto college campuses to over 10 million college students across 600 colleges and universities in student unions, recreation centers, dorm rooms and college bookstores.
</p>
<p style="margin-left:10px">
<strong>Localized National Advertising Campaigns to Build Brand Awareness</strong><br />
Place-based digital media allows advertisers to customize national advertising campaigns with localized messaging, promotions and offers. A recent campaign from a telecommunications leader targeting mobile consumers to drive demand for a new service in over 1,000 specific zip codes where the new service was being offered resulted in 59% of the target consumers reporting that they were interested in learning more about the new service. (Source: Edison Media Research, 2008). Whether it’s retailers promoting new store openings and local sales, telecommunications providers advertising new pricing and promotions in specific zip codes or financial services companies promoting student checking accounts at locations around college campuses, place-based digital advertising campaigns can be created to deliver highly relevant, localized campaigns with national scale.
</p>
<p style="margin-left:10px">
<strong>Interactive Marketing Campaigns with Direct Response</strong><br />
Combining the highly targeted message delivery capability of place-based digital advertising with the interactive capabilities of text messaging provides advertisers with a powerful way to deliver a compelling brand message and make it interactive. Integrating a text messaging call to action for promotional offers, treasure hunts, requests for information, games, etc. engages youth and drives action. Retailers advertising on SeeSaw’s network have effectively integrated text messaging with coupon offers to drive traffic to new store openings and seasonal sales events for both regional and national campaigns across multiple types of place-based digital networks.
</p>
<p>SeeSaw’s customized “Back to School” media plans also include creative services that allow advertisers to quickly and cost effectively deliver highly customized creative that delivers contextually relevant messaging in specific places using existing digital assets. By slightly modifying the creative, a central brand message can be effectively communicated across multiple venues in different contextual situations for maximum effect.  For example, a retailer looking to drive back to school sales can provide a specific store location near a given set of venues in a localized manner while maintaining the core message of a national campaign.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Advertisers Can Now Reach Sports Fans with Digital Advertising in Stadiums and Arenas </em></p>
<p><strong>SAN FRANCISCO, April 6, 2009</strong> – SeeSaw Networks, a media company offering the most extensive network of place-based digital video advertising, today announced that Sports Media Inc. (<a href="http://www.sportsmedia.net">www.sportsmedia.net</a>) has joined SeeSaw’s national network of advertising affiliates that reaches consumers out and about in their everyday lives. Sports Media Inc. is an extensive national network of digital video advertising on Jumbotrons and television screens at sporting venues, including Major League and Minor League Baseball stadiums, NHL and AHL arenas, NBA arenas, Arena Football 2 (AF2) arenas and NASCAR speedways. The partnership expands SeeSaw’s network leadership in sports and entertainment marketing, providing brand managers with the most extensive and innovative opportunities to reach sports enthusiasts and families on the go at sports events nationwide. </p>
<p>“Our network provides brand managers with the opportunity for engaging loyal, enthusiastic sports fans,” said Dan Kosth, CEO, Sports Media Inc. “The depth of SeeSaw’s network offers advertisers the best opportunities possible to interact with sports fans and families while they are actively enjoying their favorite sport as well in many other places they frequent in their daily life patterns.” </p>
<p><strong>Sports Enthusiasts Are Loyal Brand Customers</strong><br />
SeeSaw’s life pattern marketing methodology and their extensive network offer advertisers high impact and cost effective advertising touch points with sports enthusiasts. Leveraging digital video advertising opportunities at stadiums and family-friendly venues across the country can give advertisers great value for their purchase. Recent research by Scarborough Research, a leading provider of research that measures the lifestyle and shopping patterns of American consumers, as well as media behaviors and demographics, shows that advertisers looking to reach women ages 35-54 with children and a household income greater than $50,000 are 63 percent more likely to connect with them than the average adult at Minor League Baseball games (Scarborough USA, 2008).</p>
<p>Additionally, baseball fans, NASCAR enthusiasts and others have been shown to be incredibly loyal to brands associated with their favorite sports. For example, NASCAR’s 75 million fans across the country are three times as likely to purchase NASCAR sponsored products and services than non-fans (Source: BrandKeys.com, 2009).</p>
<p>The addition of Sports Media digital screens increases SeeSaw’s targeted weekly gross impressions to sports enthusiasts to over 18 million and its total weekly gross impressions to over 55 million. In addition to stadiums, SeeSaw also connects with sports enthusiasts in bars, sports bars, sporting goods stores, health clubs, college recreation centers, horse racing tracks and casinos, as well as on blimps at major sporting events.</p>
<p><strong>About SeeSaw and Sports Media, Inc.</strong><br />
Sports Media, Inc .offers advertisers over 500 sporting locations across the country, with up to 300 digital screens per venue. They offer two types of advertising opportunities for brands – small plasma screens in heavily trafficked stadium areas such as concourses near concession stands, suites, and Jumbotrons, the large on-field screens prominently located next to scoreboards. Their minor league stadium Sports TV network reaches 14 million people per season in 38 states. Specific advertising opportunities include: </p>
<ul>
<li>Pre-game Video: Scoreboard signs are one of the premier signage opportunities in sports. Advertisers receive a 30-second trailer approximately 10 minutes prior to the start of the game.</li>
<li>In Game: State-of-the-art digital videos are the focal point of all entertainment in sports. Fans continually look to digital video scoreboards to see player statistics, check the score, watch a replay, and view exciting features and promotions. Advertisers receive 30-second spots with audio.
<li>In-Game Feature: Advertisers receive an interactive video board feature that will take place during a break. Some possible features include: great plays, attendance quiz, bloopers and league highlights. Run time is from 30 to 90 seconds with the advertiser’s logo displayed.</li>
</ul>
<p>With SeeSaw’s Life Pattern Marketing methodology, advertisers can touch their target audience in an engaging setting where they are most receptive to product messages.   Consumers report that place-based digital advertising is the number one way to entertain and engage them while they are out and about, when compared to traditional media (Source:  Digital Out-of-Home Media Awareness and Attitude Study, OTX 2007-2008).</p>
<p>“With the addition of Sports Media, Inc. to our network of affiliate partners, SeeSaw now reaches sports fans coast to coast in venues ranging from the Nassau Coliseum to Washington’s Verizon Center, and from the Daytona International Speedway to Hollywood Park,” said Rocky Gunderson, vice president of network development and marketing for SeeSaw Networks. “SeeSaw now makes it easier than ever for brand managers to use Life Pattern Marketing to reach sports enthusiasts in meaningful ways and for agencies to benefit from one plan, one insertion order and one invoice from a single source.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>New Architecture Enables Both Agencies and Networks to Customize<br />
SeeSaw’s Digital Media Planning and Buying Platform </em></p>
<p><strong>SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25, 2009</strong> – SeeSaw Networks, a media company offering the most extensive network of place-based digital video advertising, today announced that media agencies and digital video advertising networks can now customize and brand SeeSaw’s Software as a Service (SaaS)-based digital video advertising planning and buying platform. By opening the SeeSawAds.com platform through a new ‘Powered by SeeSaw’ service offering, agencies and networks can create their own customized online service, complete with unique inventory, pricing structures and personalized proposal templates. This is a major step forward in establishing an industry-wide media planning and buying marketplace.  </p>
<p>Agencies use the new version of SeeSawAds.com to get access to SeeSaw’s extensive network of place-based digital video affiliates, and extend this footprint with networks they invite into their own system. Using SeeSaw’s technology, agencies generate faster, more accurate proposals, streamline reporting and integrate their own proprietary research and processes for planning, buying and measuring place-based digital media campaigns. This enables agencies to operate with unmatched efficiency by providing consistent media metrics, a common currency and a single proof-of-delivery, while also enabling unprecedented media plan customization across networks. </p>
<p>For the first time, digital video advertising networks can also utilize a branded version of SeeSawAds.com to market their inventory and make it easier for advertisers and agencies to evaluate their network, plan campaigns and buy media. The open platform is the enabling technology that supports the newly launched ‘Powered by SeeSaw,’ a business service that gets both agencies and networks up and running with SeeSaw’s technology platform, while also providing best practices for campaign execution, such as standardized audience metrics and demographic data profiling. (See related press releases: “<a href="http://www.seesawnetworks.com/2009/02/25/digital-hive-standardizes-on-seesawadscom-to-plan-and-buy-place-based-digital-advertising/">Digital Hive Standardizes Media Planning on SeeSawAds.com</a>” and “<a href="http://www.seesawnetworks.com/2009/02/25/cbs-outernet-joins-forces-with-seesaw-networks-to-provide-new-media-planning-tool-for-advertisers/">CBS Outernet To Standardize on SeeSaw Technology</a>.”)</p>
<p>“With its ‘Powered by SeeSaw’ program, SeeSaw has once again pushed the entire industry forward by providing a very cost-effective way to plan, buy and measure place-based digital media with consistent and transparent results,” says Tim Hanlon, executive vice president and managing director of Publicis Groupe’s VivaKi Ventures. “Now both agencies and networks can service their advertising customers with unified measurement, planning and optimization technology and operational excellence.” </p>
<p>“We have created a comprehensive digital video media planning and buying platform that brings unprecedented efficiency and flexibility to our industry,” said Monte Zweben, chairman and co-founder of SeeSaw Networks. “By combining the high quality and reach of SeeSaw’s affiliate network with the ability to adapt the platform with additional networks and intellectual property, we allow both agencies and networks to drive revenue more efficiently, while providing advertisers with the stopping power of digital video advertising.” </p>
<p>In addition to its campaign planning and optimization platform SeeSawAds.com, SeeSaw aggregates more than 40 digital video advertising networks, offering more than 30 categories and delivering over 50 million gross weekly impressions. SeeSaw requires its affiliates to adhere to strict quality standards to ensure each and every campaign is executed at the highest standards for quality, and provides a common currency consistent with the audience metrics guidelines released by the Out-of-Home Video Advertising Bureau (OVAB), trafficking services and proof-of-delivery for campaigns across multiple networks. </p>

By leveraging the new, advanced multi-tenant architecture of SeeSawAds.com, individual agencies use a secure login to gain access to a customized environment where they plan, buy, manage and measure their campaigns using SeeSaw’s unique optimization technology. In addition to using SeeSaw’s extensive inventory, agencies can also upload custom inventory negotiated privately with place-based digital video networks and customize their client communications with personalized proposal templates and proprietary research. With its embedded Life Pattern Marketing methodology and targeting capabilities, SeeSaw’s media planning and buying platform delivers a cost-effective media planning solution.

<p>“SeeSaw has made digital video advertising a truly national medium by making it easy for us to select the right venues, execute an effective campaign and measure our success,” said David Matera, CEO of Digital Hive. “By allowing us to customize the application and brand our proposal templates, we will be able to consolidate information and streamline our processes, enabling us to respond more quickly to the needs of our clients and operate more efficiently on their behalf.”</p>
<p><strong>Benefits for Digital Video Networks</strong><br />
Digital video advertising networks that create a customized and branded SeeSawAds.com environment can securely manage their inventory with the new multi-tenant architecture. Using SeeSaw’s industry-leading campaign planning and optimization technology, they enable their sales force and agency partners to develop custom life pattern-based media plans, improve the targeting of venues for their customers, and manage, track and measure the campaigns more effectively. SeeSaw’s extensible architecture allows networks to include their multi-network properties for complete, centralized planning, while SeeSaw’s open API allows networks to integrate SeeSawAds.com’s capabilities into other business applications.</p>
<p>“SeeSaw’s innovative media planning technology will enable CBS to provide agencies with an easier way to plan, buy and measure their place-based digital advertising campaigns,” said Virginia Cargill, president, CBS Outernet. “The combination of CBS Outernet inventory with SeeSaw’s planning tools gives advertisers an efficient and effective way to target their audiences.”</p>

<p>The breakfast keynote will provide highlights from the OTX research, “Engaging People with Digital Out-of-Home Media,” as well as insights into the application of the research for the digital out-of-home advertising industry. SeeSaw Networks commissioned the report to gauge  consumer awareness of and attitudes about place-based digital advertising, and to determine the effectiveness of advertising on digital screens in places people go during their daily lives.   </p>

Digital video screens in locations like coffee shops, gas stations, bookstores and health clubs have been an effective and efficient means of delivering brand messages. </p>
<p>“Place-based digital video advertising has emerged as a powerful way for marketers to  connect with people in the places they go in their life patterns,” said Peter Bowen, CEO, SeeSaw Networks. “The findings from the OTX research demonstrate the tremendous opportunity for advertisers to leverage this medium to engage and entertain consumers where they work, play and socialize.”</p>
