Premier Retail Networks (PRN), a Technicolor company and global leader in Digital Place-based Media services and advertising sales, announced today it is re-launching as IZON Media, leveraging its expanded footprint and omni-channel strategy across multiple media platforms. The rebrand to IZON Media (pronounced “eyes-on”) reflects the company’s dedication to integrate mobile, social and other technologies with its content strategies and vast network of strategically located digital screens to create unprecedented interaction between brands and consumers.
“IZON Media is leveraging its two decades of expertise in path-to-purchase consumer behavior to transform the way digital screens are used as activation mechanisms by marketers,” said Ahmad Ouri, CEO, IZON Media. “As smart phones become ubiquitous, our media networks and the 300M pairs of eyes on our screens every month are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between online and offline advertising.”
Social and mobile behaviors are forcing marketers to reconsider how to effectively reach consumers at a time when it is easier than ever to bypass traditional media messages.
“By adding social and mobile strategies to the mix, marketers can further leverage our screens and enhance conversations with their targets,” said Ouri. “Interacting with consumers at the right time, place and mindset yields extremely effective consumer engagement and deeper brand experiences.”
To demonstrate the power of mobile-to-place-based media pairings, IZON Media is using on-screen mobile calls-to-actions to engage Advertising Week attendees in a sweepstakes give-away. The campaign demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating three key marketing tools – strategically located screens, inspiring content and mobile devices – to inspire direct consumer engagement and spark brand activation.
IZON Media makes it easy to deliver contextualized content in more than 10,600 coveted high dwell-time locations where valuable audiences are in shopping mode and spending money.
