Beaverton, Ore — June 24, 2013 — Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), a growing force in mobile discovery, has added audio watermarking to its popular Digimarc® Discover mobile engagement platform. This single technology platform enables retailers and brands to simplify and enhance mobile consumer engagement, build brand loyalty and drive purchase opportunities from each component of their marketing campaigns. With the addition of audio watermarking, Digimarc's ability to assign "digital identities" to all forms of media and everyday objects — including print, audio, video and packaging — differentiates Digimarc's solution from competing technologies, such as QR codes, fingerprinting and image recognition.

"The advantages of assigning unique digital identities to every media component are game changing for mobile marketing, and no other vendor provides such a comprehensive and effective offering," said Ed Knudson, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Digimarc. "Fingerprinting-based approaches to audio recognition, such as those used by Shazam, or image recognition employed by augmented reality providers, must guess against large databases when trying to identify a brand's content. Brands can't afford to leave the fate of their marketing campaigns to chance. Digimarc's patented digital watermarking technology provides accurate identification every time — eliminating the risk of a poor consumer experience at the point of engagement, or even worse an embarrassing and potentially catastrophic misidentification of the brand."
The Digimarc Online Services Portal, via the company's website, provides retailers and brands with an easy and efficient way to connect print, audio, and video elements of marketing campaigns to online experiences by implementing Digimarc Discover in a brand's existing iOS or Android mobile application.
