NEW YORK, N.Y., June 21, 2016<\/strong> \u2013 UM, a division of IPG Mediabrands, and National CineMedia (NCM) today announced a strategic partnership to create the first-ever model that directly connects media effectiveness to theatrical ticket sales. This partnership, created on behalf of Sony Pictures Entertainment, signifies the first time that a studio will have the ability to track customer actions from marketing start to sale, providing verified ticket transactions, both online and at cinemas, at the individual level.<\/p>\n

In addition, UM\u2019s and NCM\u2019s new collaboration will significantly advance ticket modeling, along with media planning and buying capabilities, as the company\u2019s combined resources will form the first closed-loop buying and planning model in the film industry. Sony Pictures Entertainment will be UM and NCM\u2019s exclusive studio partner for the first year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Sony Pictures, we have made huge advancements in the use of data to reach moviegoers.\u00a0 NCM, through our relationship with UM, will provide a key ingredient in this approach \u2013 movie ticket transactions.\u00a0 Not only will this allow us to specifically target likely movie attendees, but also the data will be used to validate our current digital marketing practices.\u00a0 The potential for this information is game-changing,\u201d said Elias Plishner EVP, Worldwide Digital Marketing at Sony Pictures Entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be working with NCM on such an innovative, groundbreaking initiative,\u201d said Karen Hunt, President, West Coast Region, UM. \u201cThey bring an unsurpassed level of movie audience expertise that will enable us to deliver a world-class offering that will result in measureable impact and results for Sony Pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n

This proprietary closed-loop measurement system will initially be leveraged ahead of Sony Picture Entertainment\u2019s highly-anticipated film, Ghostbusters<\/em>, which is slated for a July 15, 2016 release. Ahead of the film\u2019s debut, UM will have the ability to drive cutting-edge results around audience targeting, with precise media channel activations to drive opening weekend box office sales. Additionally, moviegoer data will serve to diversify and enhance digital ad offerings for the three companies, resulting in a more dynamic and meaningful in-theater experience for audiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to join with UM and Sony in this exciting quest to try and close the loop on driving real activation,\u201d said Ian Owen-Ward, senior vice president, Digital at NCM. \u201cWe continuously strive to incorporate the feedback of clients into our NCM Digital products, and this new deal is the result of years of cooperation and planning between all three companies. We look forward to learning a lot from the advertising campaigns that Sony will run over the next year and discovering how they lead movie fans down the path to ticket sales!\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership is led from UM\u2019s Los Angeles office, with Jamie Kramer leading data and programmatic strategy for Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group.<\/p>\n
