And in the form of Facebook, Google, eBay, Microsoft, Amazon, Yahoo! and many additional top brands, the US giants are also represented at the dmexco.

Furthermore, the dmexco 2012 has registered a significant increase in demand from eCommerce companies that have recognised the central role of the dmexco and have opted to join the dmexco in favour of other events. The good growth in the multi-channel and dialogue marketing sectors supports this development.
