TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 05/06/15 — iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. (“iSIGN” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: ISD)(OTCQX: ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves brands, commercial locations, retailers and service providers throughout North America, today announced that Rich Multimedia Technologies Inc., (“RMT”) has signed a reseller agreement (“Agreement–) to market and sell iSIGN–s products and services to end users located in airports throughout North, Central and South America.
RMT and their concessions partners are operating in the top 300 airports globally with over 2,500 stores in 45 countries, reaching an annual audience of 1.2 billion mobile consumers/travelers. RMT is actively engaged in a global roll-out of their best-in-class In-Airport Mobile Tele-Digital Store Front Network, a digitally driven and mobile interactive consumer oriented media, advertising and entertainment network located throughout the entire airport.
RMT is working to create a complete –curb to cabin– In-Airport network, that would result in creating the first airport wide, fully integrated and complete advertising and mobile consumer-on-the-go captured network to serve retail and commercial locations and their brands.
“We are excited to add iSIGN–s technology to our existing critical passenger services, such as free phone and re-charging zones, coupled with mobile digital and eye level advertising and entertainment,” said Mr. Mark Steven, RMT–s Vice President of Global Business Development. “We are very pleased to have identified a proximity advertising solution that does not require individuals to download an app. We feel this is critical in today–s market.”
“We are pleased to add RMT as a reseller in this space,” said Mr. Alex Romanov, Chief Executive Officer of iSIGN. “Airports today incorporate all the features of large shopping malls – shops, food services, etc and are ideally suited for our technology. The massive traffic will provide the ideal audience for advertisers and will deliver millions of subscribers daily.”
iSIGN is currently in various stages of negotiations with six other potential resellers, located in various parts of the world and continues to receive requests on a daily basis. Most of these requests have come to iSIGN as businesses realize the imperfections of Beacons with their apps and download requirements and needs for individuals to surrender personal information.
“The use of resellers is very advantageous to us, in that it effectively gives us experienced sales reps and support structure, with existing client bases who are already familiar with the resellers and their staff,” stated Mr. Romanov. “Our resellers effectively provide us with a sales staff throughout the world and are very cost effective and a seamless fit with our distributors.”
