Germany.info Launches 'Zeitgeist' Ads on Politico.com

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Germany.info has launched an online advertising campaign on Politico.com, a top political news website with a large audience from across the United States -- the New York Times has called it "a must-read for a large audience outside the Beltway."

The ads proclaim: "Zeitgeist is German" as a green globe spins to show a red dot on Germany. The second frame invites viewers to: "Get closer to the source" on www.Germany.info.

The placement of banner ads for one month on the Politico.com homepage and on its news and blog pages is aimed at viewers who are searching for the latest insights during the remainder of the presidential transition period. It will allow Germany.info to reach an influential, politically engaged audience, bringing that audience in touch with the latest news, features and campaigns from Germany - in short, the German "spirit of the times" or Zeitgeist.

Germany.info is a publication of the German Embassy in Washington, DC, the eight German Consulates General in the United States and the German Information Center USA. Germany.info offers extensive daily coverage of German politics, as well as features on German-US relations and foreign policy, studying in and traveling to Germany, learning the German language, the German business landscape, Germany's role at the forefront of renewable energies and climate protection, and more.
