| July 2006 - Sky Media, the advertising sales division of BSkyB, and
emuse absolutely, the UK's largest independent, cross-platform iAd
operator, have signed an agreement that will offer increased reach
and therefore greater ROI for interactive advertisers using the emuse
absolutely service.
Digital satellite viewers may now interact with any emuse absolutely
interactive advertisement on all of Sky's wholly owned channels.
Third-party channels whose airtime is sold by Sky Media also have
the option to offer their audience and advertisers the same facility.
emuse absolutely has a strong track-record of delivering interactive
advertising, including current campaigns on the DTT platform for
advertisers including T-Mobile, BT, Sony, Chrysler, Scottish National
Executive, and Peugeot.
`We are extremely pleased to be working alongside Sky Media` says
Patrick Rainsford CEO emuse absolutely. `Following our deal with
ITV earlier in the year, this agreement means that we can present a
very compelling offering to our clients, enabling them to have
interactive exposure across two of the major commercial
broadcasters in the UK.`
Robert Leach, Head of Interactive Services at Sky Media, welcomed
the agreement: `Sky Media's commitment to supporting the growth of
iTV advertising means that we welcome the emergence of alternative
service providers. We believe that increased choice is one of the
factors that will act as a stimulus to further strong growth and will
encourage even more clients to enhance their campaigns with
immersive interactive experiences.`
