This is based on a central strategy that is to be rolled out from Germany and the USA in more than 25 countries. Special focus is placed on the core markets of Germany, USA, China, Japan, Brazil, UK and Italy. 

According to Oliver Lönker, Head of Company Positioning at Siemens Healthineers, Mediaplus has come up with the best concept for this: "The transformation and digitalization of the healthcare system is accelerating at a faster pace. With our innovations we are shaping the future of healthcare. Every day, patients worldwide benefit from our innovative products and services in the fields of diagnostic and therapeutic imaging, laboratory diagnostics and molecular medicine, as well as from our offerings in the areas of digital health services and hospital management. To further expand our leading position, we need to communicate in a targeted and highly efficient way to decision-makers in relevant markets. We are convinced that Mediaplus, with its expertise in digital ecosystems, data science and targeting and its international positioning, best meets our requirements".

Matthias Brüll, Managing Director Mediaplus International, explains: "We activate the very top B2B target groups through a smart combination of research and data. With AI, automation and data science in a customized agency setup, we create the framework conditions to significantly reduce the complexity that global management brings with it".
