NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2000
Independent Music Network kicks off multi-million dollar effort to support June 1 launch of music channel and website.
To support the anticipated June 1 launch of a new national music television channel and website, Independent Music Network, Inc. (IMN(TM)) has launched a multi-million dollar print and broadcast advertising and promotional campaign. The global campaign on behalf of IMNTV(TM) and IMNTV.com began on April 15, 2000 with the launch of the company's website, and will expand over the coming weeks leading up the June debut of the music television channel.
IMNTV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Falcon Entertainment Corp. (OTC BB: INDE), will feature programming comprised of amateur and professional music television videos submitted from around the world. Videos will be simultaneously webcast on IMNTV.com.
With the tagline "Get Huge," the campaign presents IMNTV as the amateur musician's opportunity to get noticed through the exposure the network can provide, and invites artists and bands to submit music videos for broadcast. The campaign includes approximately 1,200 TV spots and print ads in nearly 80 publications.
Developed by RDA International, Inc. of New York, the campaign targets men and women primarily from 16 to 36, and includes a series of 15-, 30-, 45- and 60-second spots, plus print, outdoor and Internet ads. The advertising is complemented by a national promotional program that includes a postering campaign and teams of IMNTV representative news vans visiting and filming at music venues, festivals, concerts and college campuses.
IMNTV's television commercials are airing on VH1, MTV, E!, Sci-Fi Channel, NBC, CBS and TBS, and in Mexico and Central and South America. They're also running on IMNTV's own channel as the network counts down to the June airing of its first music videos. Print ads are running in music magazines, including Billboard, CMJ Monthly, Guitar Player, Electronic Musician and Spin; alternative weekly publications, including BAM, LA Weekly, The Phoenix and The Village Voice; and college newspapers in major markets.
