Contract Extension with Comcast

 

Digital Globe Services, Ltd. (AIM: DGS), a leading provider of online customer acquisition solutions for large, consumer-facing organisations, is pleased to announce today a contract extension with Comcast Communications ("Comcast"), the largest multi-system cable operator in the US. The multi- year contract solidifies DGS' position as a strategic partner to Comcast online sales channels.

 

Through its process of advocacy for Comcast brands such as Xfinity, DGS will continue to deliver online customer acquisition solutions to Comcast through the provision of online marketing activities including optimised paid search via the dgSmart proprietary technology platform, white labelled integrated websites and customer call centre support. The DGS service will be optimised towards the delivery to Comcast of an increased average order per customer, an area in which DGS has proven market leading expertise. Additionally, DGS will be able to sell Comcast's new home security product as well as earn a one-time residual payment for Comcast customers who renew or maintain service beyond one year.

 

Jeff Cox, CEO of Digital Globe Services, commented: "Comcast is a longstanding and important client for DGS. Since the initial contract engagement in 2009, DGS has gradually expanded its scope of work with Comcast and we are delighted to be extending and deepening our relationship once again. The inclusion of higher payouts for higher value customers and the incentives for those that stay on longer, aligns well with our ability to bring multi-service, quality customers to our client partners. This extension is a strong endorsement of the tangible value DGS brings to its clients and our position as a reliable and innovative partner to whom clients entrust their brands and online sales conversion."

Founded in 2008 with offices in London, Bermuda, Netherlands, USA and Ireland, DGS is a specialist provider of outsourced online customer acquisition solutions for large, consumer-facing corporations. DGS delivers customers to its clients through optimised paid search, integrated websites and contact centre support, receiving a fee for each customer acquired for its clients.

 

DGS is seeking to establish itself as the leading international provider of outsourced online customer acquisition services, through its focus on having the premier technology platform for pricing and procuring paid search advertising on a cost effective basis.

DGS employs over 600 staff in Europe, North America and Asia. The Company currently has over 30 direct and indirect client relationships globally, many of which are with companies in the US Fortune 500. In 2012, DGS commenced operations in Canada and Mexico and, in February 2013, its shares were admitted to trading on AIM, raising additional funds in order to support further growth opportunities in Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific. In October 2013 DGS acquired the education business unit of a San Francisco based online customer acquisition company and began serving educational institutions. DGS has also recently started providing its customer acquisition services to the home automation and renewable energy sector, and is examining additional opportunities in the insurance, retail banking, utility and consumer technology sectors.
