The Connected Cinema experience, announced earlier this month by Screenvision Media at its upfront event, provides the ultimate canvas for brand storytelling. Through new tech alliances, Screenvision Media is extending and harnessing the unrivaled impact of cinema’s premium video with the ability to engage with consumers before, during and after their movie-going journey. Under the Connected Cinema umbrella, Screenvision Media is offering consumer brands the ability to fully engage with target audiences during every step of their movie-going journey.
John Partilla, Screenvision Media CEO and DPAA board member, said, “Our commitment to the craft of creativity and storytelling is a driving passion within the company, and we take great pride in helping brands marry the art of the story with the science of data and technology. By joining DPAA we are giving ourselves a seat at the table alongside our colleagues in helping to chart the future of the video everywhere marketplace for everyone’s benefit– brands and networks alike. Under Barry Frey’s leadership, the DPAA has emerged as a vital organization that is doing great work in advancing the video everywhere message among media planners. We are pleased to be part of his team.”
Barry Frey, president & CEO, DPAA, said, “Cinema advertising generated more than $700 million in ad revenue in 2015, making it an enormous component of the video everywhere ecosystem. Screenvision Media is a leader in the space, providing a premium video environment that enables marketers to engage with consumers. Screenvision Media’s membership in DPAA symbolizes our industry’s continuing coalescence and increasingly unified voice in stating our compelling message to the ad community.”
