eMotion and Digimarc Partner to Deliver Superior Image Tracking and Monitoring

Integrated offering provides powerful image asset management capabilities for creative and marketing organizations

Beaverton, OR and San Francisco, CA - March 15, 2005 - Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRCE) and eMotion Inc. today announced an agreement to combine valuable digital asset management (DAM) and online image tracking for organizations that invest in digital imagery as part of their brand strategy.

Under the agreement, eMotion, a leading provider of hosted solutions for managing and distributing digital media assets and marketing content, will integrate Digimarc ImageBridge as a value-add component of its hosted DAM solution, providing customers with the ability to know that their images are being used in the right place at the right time. eMotion's solution provides brand-driven corporations, advertising agencies and marketing groups with the ability to efficiently manage, distribute, repurpose and deploy digital media assets both within the organization and around the globe. With Digimarc ImageBridge built into eMotion's hosted solution, customers can easily make tracking images beyond the corporate network an integral part of their digital image workflow to ensure compliance with marketing guidelines and usage rights.

"Many of today's leading brands rely on eMotion's hosted technology platform to manage and distribute marketing materials across dispersed offices, sales teams and vendors," said Andy Mallinger, director, Digital Image Solutions, Digimarc. "Through this partnership, we can now provide these companies with ImageBridge's unique ability to track asset usage beyond the boundaries of the eMotion DAM, protecting image assets as they are distributed through the intended marketing channel."

The eMotion technology platform is comprised of a suite of powerful software applications, world-class hosting infrastructure and expert professional services.

"Our clients invest a lot of time and money into the development of their digital brand content. Having visibility into where and how their image assets, such as product shots, are used once distributed to their partners, vendors and suppliers will be of great interest and value to them," said Jon Schupp, senior vice president, Sales and Client Services, eMotion. "Digimarc ImageBridge is a natural extension to our hosted solutions and we are excited to partner with Digimarc to provide a comprehensive and powerful offering that will deliver increased value to our customers."

Digimarc ImageBridge digital watermarking weaves a unique, imperceptible identifier into images. The sophisticated ImageBridge tracking system monitors the Internet and specified URLs, locating digitally watermarked images and delivering reports to brand owners. With this capability, organizations can ensure that marketing partners are acting in compliance with guidelines for campaigns and new product rollout, and legal departments can effectively communicate and enforce image copyrights.
