ATLANTA, GA and DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/11/08 -- NeoMedia
Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: NEOM), and Format Dynamics, Inc., today
announced a strategic alliance designed to accelerate innovation in
both online and offline advertising.
NeoMedia develops technology that connects 2D barcodes to interactive
content served via mobile networks. Format Dynamics has defined a new
advertising category by creating ad inventory served only to the
printed Web page. Together, NeoMedia and Format Dynamics will provide
the publishing and advertising communities with new ways to increase
the value of traditional advertising vehicles, both individually and
in a strategic alliance.
"Advertisers are demanding more accountability from their media
investments as overall ad budgets shrink," said Ethan Holien, CEO,
Format Dynamics. "By teaming up with NeoMedia, we are providing
advertisers with a unique channel for targeting consumers, yielding
precise ROI metrics. At the same time, we're providing Web publishers
with net-new, measurable inventory for incremental revenue."
NeoMedia focuses on improving advertising effectiveness via 2D
barcodes that "hyperlink" printed materials to interactive mobile web
content. Format Dynamics' CleanPrint(TM) technology reformats the
printed Web page into a magazine-like format and digitally serves a
targeted ad within each page. In addition, PrintTracker(TM) from
Format Dynamics tracks all browser-based Web printing behavior,
helping Web publishers to analyze campaign metrics and identify
monetization opportunities.
Format Dynamics will extend NeoMedia's barcode technology to the ads
it serves, providing marketers with additional analytics through a
new measurable response mechanism with little incremental cost above
their initial media investment.
"By working together with Format Dynamics to provide a broader range
of media options in the unique niche of integrating offline and
online advertising, we hope to draw more attention to our offerings
while extending real value and innovation to our advertising
clients," said Iain McCready, CEO, NeoMedia Technologies.
"Advertisers are still trying to find effective and scalable
opportunities in the mobile arena. NeoMedia's mobile barcode scanning
solutions deliver engaging, consumer-initiated interactions with
brands that leverage existing media investments."
NeoMedia Technologies is currently participating in CTIA Wireless IT
& Entertainment 2008 at Moscone West in San Francisco. Visit NeoMedia
