Campaign Marks the Launch of Rovi Smart TV Advertising Program in Germany
SANTA CLARA, Calif., 2011-12-13 07:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Rovi Corporation (Nasdaq:ROVI) today announced that renowned automaker MINI and
its agency Mediaplus are participating in the launch of the Rovi Smart TV
Advertising program in Germany. The groundbreaking Smart TV program enables
companies to develop and introduce innovative advertising campaigns across
HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc players, and other Internet-connected devices. The launch
in Germany builds on the success of similar programs Rovi has initiated in the
United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
'In our opinion, MINI and Mediaplus are leading the charge in Germany to
explore connected devices as another avenue for enhancing engagement and
interaction with potential and current customers,' said Jeff Siegel, senior
vice president of worldwide advertising at Rovi Corporation. 'We believe Rovi
removes the mystique around Smart TV and gives advertisers and agencies a
simple, straightforward way to take advantage of advanced advertising
technologies and become pioneers on a new platform.'
The Rovi Smart TV program will include select Smart TVs and Blu-ray Players
available now in Germany and other countries in Europe. In addition to
providing companies with the opportunity to test interactive campaigns across
Internet-connected devices, Rovi is partnering with Decipher, a leading
research firm in Europe, to study how consumers engage with advertising on such
devices. The two-phase Smart TV study will measure audience reach, retention,
awareness, and influence.
'We firmly believe that connected, convergent TV will play a major role in the
near future of television and branded entertainment. Therefore we are very
happy that the Rovi Smart TV program enables us to gather valuable insights for
our clients about the acceptance of advertising and the usability of content in
this exciting new environment,' said Jens Hofmann, Head of Digital, Mediaplus.
'Additionally, the Rovi advertising program allows us to utilize the Smart TV
platform in an efficient yet comprehensive way.'
Used by leading brands from a variety of industries including Carnival, Channel
Four, and Bank of Montreal, the Rovi Advertising Network enables marketers to
reach millions of TV viewers across the many platforms that comprise the TV
entertainment experience today. Rovi's advertising services, products and
technologies together reach more than 40 million households globally.
The Rovi Advertising Network targets advertisers, agencies and brand marketers,
providing highly measurable and interactive TV advertising options designed to
reach an engaged consumer audience that is actively seeking live, recorded, on
demand, cable or network programming. The network enables advertisers to make a
consolidated media buy across multiple interactive TV platforms, including
Internet-connected devices -- set-top boxes (STBs), TVs and Blu-ray Disc
players, media players, game consoles and other OTT (over the top) devices --
and leading service providers.
