“The Indian search market is dominated by global Internet brands, with Google attracting the wide majority of searches,” said Jack Flanagan, comScore executive vice president. “As the top local player in the search market, Indian web portal Rediff.com attracts slightly less than 2 percent of all searches, indicating that there is substantial room for growth among the local Internet brands.”

Search Intensity Lags in India, Indicating Opportunity for Growth

Despite being one of the most rapidly emerging Internet markets in the world in terms of overall usage growth, India currently exhibits less frequent search behavior than its global counterparts. Of the 37 countries individually reported by comScore, India ranked second to last with 53 searches per searcher during the month, well below the worldwide average of 93. India also had significantly fewer search visits per searcher (14.7 vs. 23.6) and searches per search visit (3.6 vs. 3.9).

“Though India represents more than 15 percent of the world’s population, it accounts for less than 2 percent of global Internet searches,” added Mr. Flanagan. “It will be interesting to see if this gap narrows as more people in India gain Internet access and ramp up their use of search over time.”

Chicago-based Performics, one of the leading search marketing service providers, helps to improve the performance of advertisers’ investments and maximize client campaign effectiveness. Its profit-driving suite of marketing solutions includes Performics’ reporting platform, local platform, advanced market expertise and active account management.

The acquisition of Performics will enrich Publicis Groupe’s strong search capabilities and strengthen the offering of the VivaKi Nerve Center, a new strategic entity launched by the Groupe in June. VivaKi leverages the collective scale of Digitas, Starcom-MediaVest, Zenith-Optimedia and Denuo to develop new services, tools and partnerships, including new and emerging performance marketing platforms. The VivaKi Nerve Center includes a number of performance marketing assets, including Phonevalley, Webformance, Click2Sales and iBase. The addition of Performics will deliver a full and enhanced suite of performance marketing tools and capabilities to Publicis Groupe agencies and their clients.

Launched in 1998, Performics now employs nearly 200 search marketing specialists with employees in Chicago, San Francisco, New York, London, Hamburg, Sydney, Singapore and Beijing. The business will report into Curt Hecht, President of the VivaKi Nerve Center.

Performics will position Publicis Groupe and its clients to capitalize on the increasingly profitable search spending market. According to Jupiter Media, the search market represented an estimated $9.9BN in 2008 and is projected to grow at a 12% compound annual growth rate through 2012. Performics has over 130 search engine marketing (SEM) clients, representing over 200 top global brands.

“Publicis Groupe has been a leader in the advertising industry for decades, and we believe Performics’ growing business will benefit from being a part of it,” said Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of Google. “We look forward to working with Performics as a partner.”

Maurice Lévy, Chairman & CEO of Publicis Groupe, commented, “The acquisition of Performics will position the Groupe for significant growth by delivering a broad portfolio of clients into our operations. Performics will also bring widely-recognized talent and capabilities that can be embedded into the client teams inside Digitas, Starcom MediaVest Group and ZenithOptimedia. Not only will this acquisition bring critical mass to Publicis Groupe’s formidable Search capabilities, but it will also enhance our affiliate marketing and overall performance marketing offering.”

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2008.

Globlet is Thailand’s leading search specialist. It provides search engine marketing consultancy and technical execution for a range of local clients across the retail, technology, healthcare and real estate sectors.

Globlet will reinforce Isobar’s leadership position in Thailand. Its search expertise will complement the interactive services of Digithais, Thailand’s leading interactive agency and part of Isobar since 2005. Digithais offers website development, online media, internet marketing, content management and e-commerce for clients including Coca-Cola, adidas, Honda and Nivea.

Following the acquisition, Globlet’s staff will be trained and certified in iProspect’s best practices through iProspect University, and Globlet will become part of the Isobar-owned network of iProspect search specialists agencies. Once Globlet is re-branded as iProspect Thailand, it will have access to iProspect’s search tools, including the award winning iSEBA bidding agent.

The acquisition of Globlet follows those of search businesses in Belgium, Holland and Germany so far this year, as Isobar continues the global roll-out of iProspect offices.

Commenting on the acquisition, Robert Lerwill, ceo of Aegis, said:
“The search market in Thailand is young, with exciting prospects. Globlet offers an immediate boost to our search capabilities, and will reinforce our position as Thailand’s number one digital agency. Its conversion to iProspect Thailand will expand our Asian iProspect office network – already in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia – as we establish iProspect as the leadership brand for global paid and natural search worldwide.”
