Search Engine Marketing Firm iProspect Takes Foothold in Germany
iProspect Global Expansion Rolls On with 21 Offices in 17 Global Markets
BOSTON, MA, November 10, 2008 iProspect®, the Original® Search Engine Marketing Firm, today announced the launch of iProspect Germany. The new office is part of iProspect's continued worldwide expansion designed to offer marketers a seamless global search engine marketing solution.
Beginning with the opening of iProspect Netherlands in 2005, iProspect continues
to bring their experience, technologies, and expertise to major international
markets. Today, the search engine marketing firm has offices in Boston, San
Francisco, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Canada, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Germany,
the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia.
"The launch of iProspect Germany not only broadens our brand's footprint in
Europe," said Robert Murray, President, iProspect U.S., "it also brings a new level
of sophistication to search in this part of the world. That spells opportunity for
both local and global marketers."
Located in Hamburg, iProspect Germany has an impressive roster of clients, including
TUI.com, Vodafone, and SkyEurope.
"iProspect is known the world over as the premiere search engine marketing firm," said
Ronjon M. Sarcar, Managing Director of iProspect Germany. "For the past 12 years, iProspect
has invested in proprietary technologies, rigorous training methods, and the development
of best practices. They truly operate at a different level. As iProspect Germany, we will
be able to help our clients capitalize on that investment and leverage it for a competitive
advantage."
With a population of 82 million and nearly 50 million internet users, Germany boasts a
broadband penetration rate of 50 percent. Locally, Google maintains a market share upwards
of 90 percent, and recently they partnered with iProspect Germany on a
leisure travel
study that examines internet users' propensity to research online and
purchase offline (ROPO).
"Beyond the technological advantage iProspect offers, we can provide clients with
transparency," said Thorsten Kerwin, Managing Director, iProspect Germany, "and that is
hugely important in this market." Kerwin explained, "Marketers have grown weary and
frustrated with the 'black-box' mentality many agencies foist upon them. Instead,
they want the ability to examine the intricacies of their campaigns they want
details. Our tools and the expertise of our people will allow us to offer our clients
exactly that."

network of leading digital firms. Collaboration amongst Isobar agencies offers marketers

advantage like no other," said Murray. "iProspect Germany’s clients are now positioned
to tap into the talents of a network of best of breed digital agencies that span the
globe. It can’t help but give them a leg-up on their competition."
