Shazam and Audience Entertainment Partner on Motion-Interactive Content

Shazam^® and Audience Entertainment today announced a partnership to bring motion-sensitive advertisements to Shazam-enabled screens in locations including concert venues, sports arenas and shopping malls. The partnership will offer new, extended content opportunities to Shazam users.

Shazam’s cutting edge technology will interact with 3D cameras surrounding Shazam-enabled screens at a variety of venues. Screen programming will respond to Shazam users’ movements and gestures, and will be tagged within their Shazam app, extending the content experience and revolutionizing the way people interact with advertisements.

"At Shazam, our goal is to make discovery magical and exciting,” said Rich Riley, CEO, Shazam. "This partnership with Audience Entertainment will create new experiences for Shazam users to interact with their surroundings wherever they are.”

With the rollout of this partnership, Audience Entertainment will run multiple advertiser funded campaigns in 2015. Advertisers will now be able to provide a deeper consumer experience and capture audiences’ attention for longer periods of time. Brands will be able to forge new relationships and connections with consumers through this highly participatory experience with seamless mobile integration.

"Playfully engaging with audiences through entertainment is now possible for advertisers,” said Barry Grieff, CEO, Audience Entertainment. "Through this partnership with Shazam, we’re able to up the ante on a physical advertiser-to-consumer relationship by extending content to users’ mobile devices.”

Today’s announcement marks the next step in Shazam’s expansion into interactive environments and adds to an ever-evolving stable of audio recognition capabilities, including music, television, advertising, cinema and radio.
