05.15.14 Good morning. It’s Thursday, May 15, 2014, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
Cinema network NCM Media Networks presented its upfront at New York’s AMC Lincoln Square movie theatre yesterday, unveiling a pre-show called FirstLook, a Shazam integration, and a digital companion series called FirstLook5. The shazamable series will allow advertisers to push deals and digital content directly to mobile devices – which makes sense, since 85% of people use smartphones before planning to see a movie. NCM also announced partnerships with MakerStudios to bring its stars to NCM theatres and The Grammy Awards for a behind-the-scenes peek of the ceremony and featured artists. NCM recently acquired competitor Screenvision for $375 million.
