Giant Realm, Inc., the online media company that delivers millions of 18 – 34 year old males to advertisers through its publisher group of focused entertainment enthusiast sites, today announced that it has signed an exclusive representation deal for the U.S. market with fast-growing online TV listing service, LocateTV (www.locatetv.com)
LocateTV, a consumer facing service, is now taking ads for the first time. Its robust search tools allow users to easily discover all the ways to view specific TV shows, films or actors, whether on broadcast TV, online or on recorded media (DVD, HD-DVD etc). LocateTV tailors the search results to a user’s TV provider and offers a custom widget allowing individual users to get dynamic “Next On” data - displayed on their own web pages. LocateTV currently boasts more than one million users.
Brian Margolis, Business Development Director at LocateTV, commented: “As we begin to introduce ads on our site, it’s critical that we partner with a company that has a clear understanding of our users and the type of campaigns that would resonate with them. Giant Realm has impressed us with both their knowledge of today’s web-savvy entertainment enthusiasts and their ability to create custom campaigns for passionate communities such as ours.”
James Green, CEO, Giant Realm, Inc., added: “As the advertising industry continues to struggle to reach the 18 – 34 year old male demographic through traditional means, we are rapidly building our publisher group to encompass top communities appealing to all entertainment enthusiasts. LocateTV is a significant addition for us, as the site attracts a broad array of young men, whether they are interested in a particular actor or TV show or film.”
Since its launch less than two years ago, Giant Realm has become an online leader in capturing passionate audiences of male first movers. According to comScore’s June 2009 Media Metrix data, Giant Realm is number one in reaching comic book/anime/manga enthusiasts and is the top aggregator of game download sites.
