August 2, 2014 (London, United Kingdom) — Global satellite operator SES has awarded Commetric a multi-year contract for multi-market media analysis and evaluation, following a competitive pitch.
A world leader, Luxembourg-based SES provides satellite communications solutions to broadcast, telecom, corporate and government customers worldwide. Its satellite infrastructure enables it to reach over 99% of the world’s population.
Because of its global operational footprint and with stakeholder communications taking place in multiple languages and countries, SES sought a media evaluation agency capable of delivering analysis in local languages across multiple markets.
