SeeSaw Reaches Health-Conscious People on the Go With Five New Networks

Market Wire, October, 2008

SeeSaw Networks, a media company offering the most extensive network of place-based digital video advertising , today announced new partnerships with five health and wellness networks. These networks are uniquely positioned to help advertisers connect with their target customers in locations where they are most likely to be receptive to messaging related to health and wellness. With these new networks, including Wellness Health Education Network, MedLink TV(TM), NobelVision Network, Sports Retail Network and Sports Fitness Interactive, SeeSaw now has over 3,500 health and wellness locations delivering more than 16-million weekly gross impressions at medical offices, health clubs, dental offices, grocery and health food stores, juice bars and other related locations.

"Placed-based digital video advertising provides advertisers with a powerful opportunity to target audiences in contextually relevant environments where they are more receptive to messaging," said Dave Matera, CEO and Co-Founder of OOH Pitch and a new company, Digital Hive, that specializes in planning and buying media that reaches the increasingly mobile digital consumer . "SeeSaw aggregates together different digital video networks that reach consumers when they are in a healthy state-of-mind which simplifies the selection and buying process for us while also keeping informed of new network opportunities."

Each of the new health and wellness networks provides engaging ways to reach health-conscious people. WHEN, the Wellness Health Education Network, provides unique educational content -- current health related news, intriguing health facts, and tips -- along with each facility's own messaging and advertising in a national network of fitness facilities. MedLink TV(TM) works with physicians to provide thought provoking, entertaining and informative healthcare related programming in doctors' waiting rooms. The NobelVision Network delivers patient education and entertainment in dental reception rooms during office hours, and continuing education for doctors and staff after hours. The Sports Retail Network recently launched The Golf Network, which reaches consumers at golf and outdoor recreation point-of-sale locations. Sports Fitness Interactive delivers innovative video and mobile solutions to leading fitness and sports apparel venues.

SeeSaw provides the industry's most comprehensive place-based digital video advertising solution, through its extensive affiliate partner network and its proprietary campaign planning and optimization technology. With over 40 affiliate partners, SeeSaw enables advertisers to plan a single media buy on par with the scale of national TV, across a complete 'life pattern' to reach consumers engaged in related behavioral patterns.

"SeeSaw allows advertisers to intercept health-conscious people in their daily routines," said Peter Bowen, CEO and co-founder of SeeSaw. "Never before has it been so easy and cost effective for advertisers to reach such large numbers of highly receptive consumers."
