TradeDoubler and NetBooster announce strategic partnership in online marketing

TradeDoubler and NetBooster, two leaders in online marketing, today announced the transfer of TradeDoubler's assets in search to NetBooster and a strategic partnership in online marketing.

TradeDoubler's search business with 55 employees manages search engine marketing (sponsored links) and search engine optimization on behalf of clients in over 20 countries, including GAP Europe, NET-A-PORTER, Interflora, and Tempur. The agreement involves the transfer of all the search employees in six European countries from TradeDoubler to NetBooster and is expected to be completed before year-end 2011.

Under the agreement TradeDoubler becomes NetBooster's preferred partner for services in performance marketing, such as affiliate network, campaigns and technology solutions, and NetBooster becomes TradeDoubler's preferred search marketing partner. By enhancing both companies' offerings, the strategic partnership will provide new and existing customers with a broader geographical footprint in and beyond Europe and greater depth of expertise in digital marketing and e-commerce.

"In line with our overall strategy, the partnership will allow us to sharpen the focus on our core business, performance based marketing. That will enhance our leading position and help us deliver profitable and scalable growth", says TradeDoubler's CEO Urban Gillström. "Our search clients as well as our employees will benefit from the transfer to NetBooster where search is core and already has a leading position."

"NetBooster's acquiring of the assets of TradeDoubler's Search Business, and the formation of the partnership creates a win-win for TradeDoubler's search customers as they maintain existing account management relationships while benefitting from the increased power that a larger search marketing company offers," says Raphaël Zier, CEO of NetBooster. "NetBooster will now be able to provide our customers with even greater expertise in performance marketing through TradeDoubler in Europe."

As a result of this transaction TradeDoubler group will decrease its yearly gross profit by approximately SEK 30M, but at the same time improve the group's gross margin. The impact on earnings and cash flow is minor going forward. The net impact on shareholders' equity, including the profit & loss effects from discontinued operations, is estimated to be approximately SEK -40 M. Starting from 1 November the Search business will be presented as discontinued operations in TradeDoubler's financial statements.
