Triad Retail Media’s “Watch N Save” Combines Online Video, Coupons & Social Networking to Create Powerful New Advertising and Marketing Vehicle

Triad Retail Media today announced the launch of Watch N Save™, a new online advertising service that encourages consumers to watch a 30-second video about a product or service, receive a coupon and share the video with friends in exchange for discounts or coupons. Triad’s digital advertising service is a powerful new way for brands to combine the three things they want to do most: engage shoppers with video, offer digital coupons and encourage sharing of their brand video and coupons via email and social-networking sites.

“We developed Watch N Save in response to the challenge that brands have when it comes to finding new ways to engage shoppers with video content that is so impactful that they are motivated to share it with their friends,” said Greg Murtagh, CEO of Triad Retail Media. “It’s critical that brands get more savvy and social about how they educate and engage with consumers. The digital path to purchase continues to become increasingly multi-faceted and meeting consumers at various points of influence is critical to the success of any campaign. We help brands get their message in front of consumers every step of the way.”

With Watch N Save, brands collaborate with Triad Retail Media to submit or create a customized 30-second video or commercial about a product or service. For instance, a film studio may encourage consumers to watch a movie trailer to receive a discount on a movie ticket and entice them to share with friends for additional discounts at the concession stands. Videos can range from commercials to tips on new ways to use a product or service and will be hosted on some of the most highly trafficked retail websites and shared across a variety of viral online video channels.

Triad is leveraging SocialTwist’s innovative sharing platform to develop its Watch N Save solution. SocialTwist works with a variety of brands, retailers and publishers to develop customized viral social shopper marketing campaigns that engage consumers with coupons and promos. Watch N Save is the newest addition to Triad’s suite of best-in-class solutions designed to build online media programs that deliver innovative, custom digital ad campaigns that target, reach and engage shoppers along the digital path to purchase.
