Worldwide, the Screen Advertising Industry is worth $US2.7 billion in 2006
and as is considered a vital plank in many cross and single
media campaigns. This is partly down to the "100per cent factor"
whereby the ad impacts on all those people who are exposed to it,
as they are a captive audience.
There are clear advantages to advertising in Cinemas: the audience
is attractive (affluent and young), the audience is captive, recall
rates are much higher than other display media and the overall
impact of the screen itself is very significant. Thus, the medium
has the same virtues as
television (sight, sound, colour,action).
Screen Advertising is a growing medium in many territories around
the world and is forecast to continue to grow assisted by the
major driver, digital technology in the cinema exhibition sector.
Digital Advertising will deliver greater flexibility to Advertisers
and Screen Advertising Companies alike.
