Europe’s leading partner in performance- based digital marketing

A stable operation with strong offering

Similar to all other marketing, digital marketing is conducted to create awareness with the consumer or to have the consumer implement an action, for example, purchasing of a product. TradeDoubler’s business model is primarily performance-based, which means that the company’s revenues arise when the consumer carries out an action pre- defined by the advertiser, that is, impressions, clicks, leads or sales.

Based on the client’s needs and goals, TradeDoubler plans with the advertiser so that products and services are marketed in the best possible

manner in digital environments. Composition of the suitable digital product mix is determined after a pre-study is carried out, based on,

for example, relevant statistics and adjusted continually to create value through obtaining the best possible outcome.

report on operations

The year 2008 will be linked with the financial crisis and a world economy in freefall at the end of the year. I joined the company in De- cember and have been deeply impressed about what our local market companies and our international sales organisation have succeeded with during a difficult year. I also determined that TradeDoubler is active in a market with long-term favourable growth possibilities and has a well-functioning business model.

Year’s revenue adversely affected by high cost base The year’s revenue were less favourable than expected, due mainly to a negative cost trend. Reduced growth and lower revenues in the British market is a main reason. Therefore, we launched a program to enhance the efficiency of operations during the autumn and some 40 employees had to leave TradeDoubler. As a result of this and other actions toward the end of the year, the Group has a lower cost base of about 10 percent for 2009 compared with full-year 2008. In the spring of 2009 we will conduct a review of operations, aiming at further cost reductions, a strengthening of the organisation and clarification of the strategic priorities.

We have what is required for long-term growth with profitability!

Fiscal 2008 was a challenging year, with the fastest reverse in the busi- ness climate in modern times. Tradedoubler was able to benefit from its market-leading position in europe and capture market shares. an action program was introduced in the autumn to reduce costs and strengthen our position. Moving into 2009, the goals and strategies are set: create long-term profitable growth through delivering the market’s best and most complete products and solutions for performance-based digital marketing, internationally with europe as the home market.

Advertisers expanding and broadening their marketing supported by digital marketing

Growth in marketing weakened during the year. However, digital marketing survived better than traditional forms and advertisers have prioritised performance-based marketing ahead of traditional. This demonstrates the strength of our business model.

The client base is strong. It has primarily comprised consumer-oriented e-commerce companies. However, during the year we noted increased interest from other types of consumer-oriented companies desiring to broaden their marketing mix to increase brand recognition and strengthen their other traditional marketing. The increasing number of companies desiring to invest more in digital marketing provides Trade- Doubler a large future potential.

Strong leadership and market companies, with good momentum

A number of our market companies received new management during the year, in many cases senior personnel with experience of media firms or solution-oriented sales. This yielded positive effects of better sales, employee commitment and development.

Word from the Ceo

report on operations

The local market companies succeeded in renewing and gaining increased confidence from existing clients and concurrently won new clients in competition. The new, local British management and staff de- livered an impressive performance and succeeded in reversing the nega- tive development from the first half of the year. The Group’s other main markets, France and Germany, continued to develop positively during the year and growth in smaller markets outside the Nordic region also developed favourably.

Breadth of our offering increased growth of individual products and services

As a result of the strategic acquisition of IMW Group in 2007, currently TradeDoubler can cover 80 percent of the product and solution needs within digital marketing. This provides us strength in our client under- takings and the possibility to increase sales with existing clients, as well as a positive effect for products sold separately.

Since the end of the year, search marketing is an integrated component of the local sales companies’ operations and budget, except in France and the UK. As a result, we have better conditions to integrate operations and fully capitalise on the strategic acquisition of IMW Group.

Unique expertise that drives development of digital marketing

TradeDoubler has a unique expertise within digital marketing and about client needs and opportunities to improve their revenue. Accordingly, continuing to develop our staff is a central strategy. Annually, the em- ployee surveys show favourable results. The results from 2008 improved from 2007. Nevertheless, we have a higher personal turnover rate than desired, which is primarily explained by the large proportion of young staff members. The industry is relatively new and, consequently, expertise on the market is limited. Accordingly, our employees quickly become attractive. Our ambition is to invest more in retaining them with us.

Three strategic priorities for 2009

The economic decline and the global financial turmoil mean that Trade- Doubler is adapting its short-term plans to the prevailing situation. The key activities for 2009 are:

Increase clarity pertaining to client benefits deriving from the com-

pany’s services and produce a more solutions-oriented profile in the market

Ensure that the operations within Search will be an actual asset to

TradeDoubler’s key markets so that the potential from the IMW Group acquisition will produce full effect

Balance the cost trend against revenues and growth to ensure con-

tinued favorable margins.

We shall continue to capture market shares in 2009 Developments in 2008 revealed the strength in TradeDoubler’s geo- graphic spread and broad product portfolio. We shall continue to benefit from our strengths and continue to capture market shares organically in a market undergoing rapid change. The year 2009 has started well and overall TradeDoubler is well positioned to meet client needs. I have great respect for market problems in the prevailing recession, but the potential for stable and positive development is favourable and I am impressed by the enthusiasm, professionalism and strong results shown daily through- out our operations. We are active in an international arena and we are Europe’s leading company in performance-based digital marketing. We have an enviable client base and a network of publishers. We have a broad client offering and leading expertise. This provides solid conditions for creating long-term value for our stakeholders.

report on operations

Market

comprising approximately 128,000 active publishers and nearly 1,750 advertisers. In connection with the acquisition of the IMW Group, TradeDoubler gained strategic expertise within the search market, which means that TradeDoubler is currently able to offer advertisers a complete and solution-oriented product portfolio. TradeDoubler has elected to have an international and local organization, which is a competitive edge when international clients are choosing cooperation partners within digital marketing.

Other major players in the market for digital marketing include ValueClick, AdPepper, Zanox, AdLink, Advertising.com, HiMedia and Omniture.

ValueClick is the dominating player in the North American market. Zanox operates primarily in the German market. Other players may be locally strong in a few markets or have less complex offering than TradeDoubler.

TradeDoubler also competes with major Internet companies and traditional media companies for a portion of the clients’ total market- ing budget. This could include publishers with in-house sellers or major portals and search engine companies with proprietary advertising networks, for example, Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

Europe is TradeDoubler’s domestic market

At the end of 2008, TradeDoubler operated in a total of 19 markets:

18 European countries and Japan. The presence in Japan was in con- junction with the acquisition of the IMW Group in 2007. Japan provides TradeDoubler with a presence in the Asian market, which is currently a smaller market for TradeDoubler but attractive from a trend perspec- tive. Europe is TradeDoubler’s domestic market, in which the company has a unique position in terms of geographic reach and adapting to the local conditions required. Today, TradeDoubler reaches about 75 per- cent of Europe’s Internet users. It is easy to adapt TradeDoubler’s tech- nical solutions to such local conditions as language, currency, legislation as well as payment and invoicing practices in the various countries.

TradeDoubler’s technical platform currently manages 15 languages and transactions in 11 currencies.

Position and other market players

TradeDoubler’s main competitors are other companies that offer digital marketing within the product areas in which TradeDoubler operates.

TradeDoubler has managed its position as a pioneer within digital mar- keting well. Over a 10-year period, TradeDoubler has built up a network

growth market

digital marketing has greater market reach than Tv commercials in sev- eral countries and in an increasing number of target groups. Changing consumer behavior combined with the possibility of paying only for results drives the demand for digital marketing.

market is fragmented and characterized by the regional differences in terms of the infrastruc- ture for Internet and broadband, but also pertaining to investments in digital marketing.

According to Forrester Research, investments in digital marketing in Europe will amount to SEK 14.5 billion by 2011. The general assess- ment is that digital marketing will also con- tinue to report significant growth in Europe.

Advertisers improve revenue with lower budget

TradeDoubler’s clients conduct primarily consumer-targeted e-commerce. Other types of companies have also shown increasing inter- est in TradeDoubler’s products and solutions.

This could be companies that want to expand their marketing mix to increase brand recogni- tion and thus supplement and strength their traditional marketing.

Digital marketing has stimulated major interest in times when marketing activities to an in- creasing extent must be connected to revenues and where in certain instances a decrease in marketing budget must retain and preferably generate better results than in the past.

In a recently published report, Jupiter Research stated that the priorities for marketing manag- ers for 2009 are to:

Achieve measurable return on marketing Develop marketing programs that will

integrate digital marketing with traditional marketing

Reduce marketing budget but generate bet- ter results than in the past.

TradeDoubler’s offering, which is primarily performance based, means that the company has great potential in a market with strong growth.

Changed consumer behavior drives the demand for digital marketing The underlying driving forces responsible for increasing interest in digital marketing are primarily e-commerce and the amount of time people spend in front of their computers.

Europeans’ e-commerce increasing According to Forrester Research, the e-com- merce market in Europe has grown substan- tially in recent years and sales are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 145 billion by 2011. The same survey shows that 80 percent of Internet users in Europe made a transaction online and that this figure will increase. Jupiter Research estimates that the European e-com- merce portion of the total private consumption is expected to increase from 2.7 percent to about 5 percent by 2012. Growth is based on an increase in the number of consumers that shop on the Internet and current consumers shopping for larger amounts.

Europeans online more

In Europe, consumers’ access to the Internet and connection via broadband continues to increase. This in turn will lead to people spending more time online. This trend has been evident for several years and is expected to increase, which will drive the increase in e-commerce and interest in investing in digital marketing.

The most mature Internet markets in Europe are the Nordic countries along with The Netherlands. Internet penetration within the EU was 60 percent at the end of 2008, which is significantly lower than the average for the Nordic countries, which was 71 percent.

According to Forrester Research, more than 70 percent of Europe’s households will have access to broadband by 2013, the correspond- ing figure today is nearly 45 percent.

Strong growth in digital marketing

Compared with the North American market

for digital marketing, the European market

is currently less mature. With more than 450

million inhabitants, Europe is larger than the

US in terms of population. Consequently, there

is significant growth potential in the European

market. Unlike the US market, the European

transaction has occurred during the recent months. The extensive client base and the network of publishers mean that there are good prerequi- sites for all players to capitalize on the interplay.

Publishers connect to TradeDoubler’s network by registering on Trade- Doubler’s website. Registration is free of charge and TradeDoubler’s affiliate network includes both large and small publisher websites. As a member of the network, publishers will gain access to advertising companies’ advertisements and may publish required advertisements on their websites. TradeDoubler follows established ethical and quality guidelines, which stipulate that the company will not cooperate with advertisers and publishers that use websites with dubious content or conduct illegal operations.

Using an affiliate program, TradeDoubler creates a continuous presence on the Internet where the client is visible on small and large websites.

TradeDoubler manages all contacts for the client in order to market the products and services in the best possible manner. All traceability and the technology required are provided by TradeDoubler. Publishers receive continuous information about and access to advertisers’ offerings in order to utilize them for best possible outcome from the advertising.

td Campaigns – advertising network

Digital marketing campaigns have many similarities with affiliate market- ing. The difference is that a campaign either uses a select group of pub- lishers to achieve high accuracy or a broad base of publishers to achieve a high volume.

An advertising network consists of advertising scope with large and mid-size publisher websites that are packaged by a third-party player.

The third-party player is responsible for administration and payments and also for managing the advertisement, tracking and optimization.

The advertising network is distinguished in three primary areas: network (how many and how qualitative websites that are included), technol- ogy (how robust and efficient the technology is for tracking, optimizing and target control) and expertise (the experience and knowledge of the people managing the campaigns).

The advertising network is used by advertisers and media agencies to cost-efficiently spread a marketing campaign on the Internet. Publish- Complete product portfolio for digital marketing

TradeDoubler’s products are characterized by high quality, security, flexibility and economy. TradeDoubler started its operations within affiliate marketing but currently has a complete portfolio of products and services within digital marketing. Expanding the offering generates advantages for clients since TradeDoubler is able to offer solutions where selected marketing forms are optimized to achieve best possible results.

TradeDoubler provides the majority of its service range in all markets in which the company operates. The exception is markets that are in the early stages of digital marketing sales.

TradeDoubler sells and supplies services and products within:

Affiliate marketing Campaign marketing Search marketing

Technical system solutions for tracking, monitoring and administration.

td Affiliate – affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is a form of digital marketing in which the publisher chooses to display another company’s advertisements on its website to encourage traffic to the advertised company’s website. The publisher only receives remuneration if an action, predetermined by the advertiser, is carried out by the Internet visitor, for example, a purchase or interest registration. The advertising company’s objective with the advertisement within the affiliate channel is mostly to drive some form of results and in order to obtain maximum return the publisher is keen to publish relevant advertisements. An advertisement for sports clothing should be pub- lished on websites with visitors that may be interested in sports clothing.

Using the td Affiliate product, TradeDoubler connects and improves the flow between the advertising company and publishers. All involved players, advertisers, publishers and TradeDoubler have financial interest in the connection being as efficient as possible. The advertisers want to achieve favorable financial results with their marketing. Publishers want good return on their websites. As intermediary, TradeDoubler will receive a portion of the transactions occurring between the advertiser and publishers. TradeDoubler currently has nearly 1,750 clients and approximately 128,000 active publishers. Active means some form of

TradeDoubler carefully selects the websites that are invited to be part of the network, only the largest and most qualitative websites in each market are invited to the network.

Media in the network refers primarily to image and video advertise- ments and text links shown on websites or e-mail dispatches.

Using the td Talk product, TradeDoubler is able to measure and track telephone calls generated by a publisher for an advertiser during a marketing program. This means that advertisers are able to use publish- ers in an affiliate program to also lead calls to their call centers and only pay per connected call. An operator can provide additional information on the product or service, where there is a great need for information.

This may apply for example in connection with a bank loan or signing a telephone subscription.

td Search – search marketing

TradeDoubler’s services within search marketing are available in search- engine marketing and search-engine optimization.

Search-engine optimization means that advertisers’ websites are adapted to achieve excellent position in the natural search results in relevant search engines. This form of optimization is also referred to as organic optimization, since this position on the search-engine hit list cannot be purchased.

When a visitor is searching on search engines by using keywords and phrases, it is vital to the advertisers to be positioned high on the list on the search engines. Visitors tend to only pay attention to the first two pages. In order for a company to reach potential clients via the Internet, the website should be listed on one of these and preferably on the first. When you execute a search-engine optimization there are certain

guidelines that should be followed. TradeDoubler works exclusively with ethical search-engine optimization, meaning, the company follows the rules established by the search engines. These are designed so that the various engines are able to present qualitative and accurate hit lists for the visitor. This is vital since use of illegal methods can lead to the website being excluded from the search engines’ index. For more infor- mation on the guidelines pertaining to this, we refer to the websites of major search engines.

Within TradeDoubler, there is expertise on how leading search engines are structured and the adaptations required for advertisers to receive the best possible position in these search engines, increase traffic to their websites and thus increase sales. In terms of consulting, Trade- Doubler supplies services within search-engine optimization relating to everything from keyword analysis, technology and content analysis of the advertiser’s website, optimization proposals, search-engine registra- tions and link strategies, as well as following up reports and analyses.

Search-engine marketing is a supplement to search-engine optimiza- tion. This is a type of marketing where you pay for the number of users that visit the advertiser’s website via the advertisement. One or more words are selected to be shown in connection with the advertisement.

The cost for the advertisement varies depending on the popularity of the word. Sponsored links are sold in the network, meaning, keywords can be purchased from Google, Yahoo! and Eniro, which then place the keyword advertisements on their own as well as external websites with which they cooperate. Payment is per click in an auction environment, in which the maximum price that someone is prepared to pay is preset per click for a specific word in a specific network.

Using td Search, clients can plan, manage and optimize their search- engine marketing for all search engines utilized by the advertiser. The products and services within search-engine marketing are sold in the UK and France under the company name, The Search Works.

td Searchware – search technology

td SearchWare offers advertisers a platform to efficiently conduct their own search-engine marketing. td Searchware contains functions for tracking, reporting, analyzing and optimizing all search-engine market- ing in a common interface. The platform makes it simple to manage large amounts of keywords, define automated budget strategies and continuously monitor results through leading-edge reporting tools.

in progress simultaneously. Prior to the launch of the program, the con- nections under which the advertisements are to be seen must be estab- lished, exposure of the offering and the formulation of the remunera- tion model. When the programs have been launched, TradeDoubler’s organization will have continuous contact with the advertisers to ensure that the various programs develop in accordance with the target. Dur- ing the period the programs are in progress, TradeDoubler’s employees, with various expertise, will manage contacts with publishers, search engines, continuous technical administration for the programs as well as invoicing and remuneration to involved players.

Programs are performance-based

Remuneration will occur according to a performance-based price model, which means that the Internet visitor will need to execute a preset activity in the advertisement in order for the advertiser to pay re- muneration to the publisher or the search engines. Activities that must be executed by the visitor on the website are normally views, clicks, registrations or purchases.

TradeDoubler has three payment models: performance-based remuner- ation, consultancy fees and start-up and license fees. However, the pri- mary payment model offered to advertisers is performance-based and comprises CPM (cost-per-thousands impressions), CPC (cost-per-click), CPL (cost-per-lead) and CPA (cost-per-action). The price models can be combined in several ways to satisfy various advertisers’ and publishers’

requirements. The most common price models are CPA and CPC.

Each month, an average of 12 billion views, 134 million unique visitors and approximately 10 million activities for direct and indirect e-com- merce sales are registered in TradeDoubler’s systems. Remuneration to publishers and search engines from TradeDoubler’s clients occurs through TradeDoubler, which means that high demand is placed on reliability in tracking transactions but also that payment occurs in 11 currencies and administration in 15 different languages.

td Integral – integrated marketing platform

td Integral provides clients with a complete overview of all their digital marketing activities within affiliate, campaign and search-engine mar- keting. The advertisers may monitor results on a continuous basis and rapidly adjust the budget to capitalize on the marketing methods that are generating the best results at the time. Using the statistics available in TradeDoubler’s system, the client is able to utilize knowledge and ex- perience from prior seasons to maximize returns for the current period.

The integrated platform and tracking have also made it possible to pro- duce reports that analyze how visitors react in the various channels and how the different channels cooperate to drive results and transactions.

Advertisers’ requirements and targets decide product choices

The characteristics and quality of the products are significant, but the knowledge, values, attitudes and behavior of TradeDoubler’s employees are also important. In order for TradeDoubler to understand the needs and meet expectations with the right offering, in-depth cooperation is crucial between clients and TradeDoubler’s employees.

In recent years, TradeDoubler has deepened the relationship med key clients. The advantages are multiple. The Group can now support clients’ growth better than in the past, while a deeper relationship will lead to additional sales within the entire product range.

Based on the client’s requirements and targets, TradeDoubler will plan jointly with the advertiser, to market the products and services in the best possible manner in a digital environment. The composition of suit- able digital product mix will occur following a feasibility study, based on relevant statistics for example, and adjusted continuously to create value by obtaining the best possible results.

The advertisers’ various campaigns or digital activities are combined into what is called a program. An advertiser often has several programs

interplay within digital marketing

14

S

digital marketing, like all other marketing, is conducted to create awareness among consumers or to get consumers to take an action, such as purchase a product. Tradedoubler’s products and solutions drive and streamline the flow of transactions that occur in the interplay between companies that advertise and market players through to consumers, that is, internet visitors.

1. Advertisers

Advertisers can select various paths to reach end-consumers via the Internet:

Search marketing through search engines, via a search agency or directly

Ad marketing (display marketing) via a media company or directly, through a network or by purchasing space directly from publishers (websites)

Affiliate marketing via a media company or directly via an affiliate net- work such as TradeDoublers. Advertisers can also choose to license or purchase technology to operate an affiliate network on their own.

2. Media companies

An advertiser can utilize a media company as an intermediary to plan and administer their marketing, both traditional and digital.

3. Display intermediaries

Ad network – companies that operate a network of space that pub- lishers do not sell themselves. This can be all or portions of websites Third-party representation – companies that only sell all space on all

publishers’ websites

Affiliate networks – companies that operate networks of transaction-

oriented websites.

4. Publishers

Publishers who operate their website by creating content and selling their space for advertising. Depending on the content and volume of traffic, space is sold for various purposes – impressions, clicks, leads and sales.

Premium publishers – this type of publisher (primarily magazines and portals) have strong brands. They sell primarily space themselves through a media company or through an advertising network. Sales via third parties occur more infrequently. The relationship between premium and other space is approximately 80/20

Content publishers – website and editorial content that drives visitors such as bortabra.se

5. Search companies

An advertiser can use a search company as an intermediary to plan and administer their purchase of keywords/search words and search engine optimized activities. Alternatively, the advertiser can chose to purchase technology, such as TradeDoubler’s Searchware, and conduct the activi- ties themselves.

6. Search engines

Search engines offer advertisers purchase of keywords/search words and advertising networks.

Keyword publishers – they do not always have their own website but instead use search engines to initiate viewing of ads and generate Internet traffic for advertisers. This occurs primarily through the purchase of keywords/search words via a search engine, which are then sent to advertisers

Loyalty publishers – offer consumers a portion of the publisher’s commission if the purchase is initiated via the publisher’s website.

These websites are popular in the UK, for example nectar.com E-mail publishers – utilize e-mail to send out targeted offers to

a receiver list.

7. Technology suppliers

The market for digital marketing is strong due to advanced technology for Internet traffic traceability. A few companies have chose to develop technology themselves, while others purchase technology from external technology suppliers.

8. Consumers

The reason for digital marketing (like all other marketing) is to create a

feeling or achieve that the consumer performs an action. TradeDoubler

offers products for the entire flow, from feeling to action.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of TradeDoubler is TradeDoubler’s highest decision-making body and the forum in which shareholders exercise

their rights to decide on matters related to the company. Each share represents one vote.

Shareholders are informed via the notification of the Annual General Meeting regarding their entitlement to have an item addressed at the Annual General Meeting.

In brief

In 2008, the work of the Board of Directors focused on creat- ing the best possible conditions for TradeDoubler to retain and strengthen the company’s leading position in digital mar- keting, with an emphasis on growth strategy, organisational and efficiency enhancements, and financing.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting on 19 December 2008, following the proposal by the Nomination Committee, Christer Elmehagen was elected as a new Board member and to the position as Chairman of the Board. Christer Elmehagen replaced Kjell Duveblad, who subsequently vacated his posi- tion on the Board. Christer Elmehagen resigned from Trade- Doubler’s Board on March 31, 2009. Lars Lundquist, formerly Vice Chairman, is the company’s Board Chairman from March 31, until the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2009.

On 22 December 2008, the Board unanimously appointed Örjan Frid as the new President and CEO. Örjan Frid replaced William Cooper, who left the company.

A deviation from the Code took place in conjunction the Extra- ordinary Meeting on 19 December 2008 when a quorum of the Board did not exist and the meeting was not attended by the President. This occurred because the notification, on the request of the Nomination Committee, was issued only a short period prior to the meeting and, accordingly, only a few of the Board members could attend.

TradeDoubler is a public limited liability company domiciled in Stockholm,

Sweden. TradeDoubler’s share has been listed on the Nasdaq oMX exchange

in Stockholm since 8 November 2005. For further information, see the Share

follow-up of the business throughout the year. The Board also approves the business plan, budget and the year-end accounts, and evaluates the work of the President. The Chairman of the Board acts on behalf of the company in owner-related issue.

The Board holds seven regular meetings per year: one statutory meet- ing after the AGM, four meetings in conjunction with interim reports, one meeting to address strategy issues and one meeting to approve the budget and business plan for the upcoming year.

The work of the Board is guided by a formal work plan that is estab- lished each year, usually at the statutory Board meeting. The formal work plan sets out the responsibilities of the Board and regulates the Board and its members’ internal division of work, the internal decision- making order, notifications of Board meetings, agendas and minutes, and the Board’s work on audit issues and financial reporting.

In addition, the formal work plan encompasses terms of reference for the President. The President manages operations within the parameters set by the Board. The President is responsible for ensuring that the Board receives the documentation and the information necessary to conduct discussions and make decisions that maintain high quality.

The formal work plan requires that an annual evaluation of the Board’s work be carried out. This shall take the form of a systematic and struc- tured process, the results of which shall be presented to the Nomina- tions Committee. The Board assesses the President’s work in accord- ance with the terms of reference at least once a year.

The formal work plan that currently applies was approved at the statu- tory Board meeting on 6 May 2008.
