IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - February 12, 2008) - PumpTop TV, a leading digital out-of-home media
network located at gas pumps, announced a broad reaching advertising sales
partnership with SeeSaw Networks. The agreement, which makes PumpTop TV an
affiliate member of SeeSaw's network, enables media agencies and
advertisers to include the PumpTop TV gas station network in national
digital signage advertising campaigns planned on SeeSawAds.com.
PumpTop TV's network consists of more than 3,500 screens found at most
major gas station brands in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento and
San Diego markets. Installations are currently taking place in Phoenix,
with Dallas, Houston, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston slated for
later this year. The network today delivers over 2,000,000 measurable
impressions per week, as measured by the number of monthly fuel
transactions reported by gas retailers at their stations.
By aggregating the fragmented digital out-of-home media space, SeeSaw has
created the scale required for advertisers and agencies to effectively
reach national audiences. In addition to PumpTop's gas stations, which are
located in the top markets in the U.S., SeeSaw's network includes screens
in 25 different categories -- including health clubs, waiting rooms,
bookstores, sports bars, retail stores, video rental stores, supermarkets,
coffee shops and other high traffic venues in over 200 DMAs.
"More than 70 percent of Americans go to the gas station at least six times
per month," said Roy Reeves, vice president of sales and marketing at
PumpTop TV. "By combining our gas station locations with SeeSaw's network,
we deliver a highly measurable and targeted way for national advertisers to
connect with people on-the-go with sight, sound and motion while they pump
gas."
Agencies and advertisers can plan and buy digital out-of-home advertising
campaigns on SeeSaw's aggregated digital signage network, including all of
PumpTop TV's screens, by using SeeSawAds.com. This Web-based service
enables media buyers to create customized life pattern marketing campaigns
across multiple networks, markets and demographics, delivering national
scale to a fragmented industry. Life pattern marketing is a media planning
methodology invented by SeeSaw Networks that provides a framework for
mapping the daily pattern of a consumer's typical life and weaving an
advertising program through that pattern.
"Combining PumpTop's gas station screens with the other venues in our
network enables advertisers to intercept target audiences such as college
students, busy moms and business professionals during their daily
routines," said Rocky Gunderson, vice president of marketing and network
development at SeeSaw Networks. "PumpTop TV's high-quality content and
programming provide advertisers with an ideal way to engage people in a
truly captive environment."
