English term or phrase: with the likes of Google and Yahoo
Hello everyone,

http://www.shadowsgovernment.com/shadows-library/Act Like a ...

page 36 of the pdf-file.

Another good example is Jack Klues, former CEO of Vivaki, the media-buying arm of Publicis Groupe. Publicis had consolidated many separate media operations to increase its purchasing power ***with the likes of Google and Yahoo*** and to consolidate expertise in digital advertising. The job entailed weaving
together disparate talents to exploit the new economies of scale. Klues described
his role: “I’ve always thought my job was to be a ‘connector.

Does "to increase its purchasing power with the likes of Google and Yahoo" mean to be able to buy advertising time/space from Google and Yahoo?

Thank you.

Explanation:
I agree with your interpretation - by making itself a bigger customer (consolidating its separate operations) it is in a better position to seek favourable rates etc. from companies such as Google and Yahoo.
