Icon Media Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ICNM) is pleased to announce
that the Company has reached an agreement with Café Nashville
(Radio) for joint marketing and promotional opportunities in the
country music industry.
Café Nashville is a syndicated radio show based in Nashville,
Tennessee. "Our clients include country music artists, record
labels, radio stations and national advertisers," says Jody Van
Alin of Café Nashville. "They all seek to stay relevant and fully
engaged with the consumer in some fashion. Café Nashville is
constantly vetting and experimenting with nontraditional
opportunities to create new revenue streams for our clients. It's
important that we engage with companies like Icon Media and their
cutting edge technology. Bringing a special promotion, experience,
product or platform to a client allows us to better serve our
customers, which in turn secures and expands our own business
organically."
Rob Deakin is excited about the opportunities for Icon Media in
the Country Music industry. "We've visited Nashville and met with
the partners of Café Nashville. After several meetings with artists
and record executives, it became clear that there are many
opportunities for Icon Media in the music industry."
According to the Country Music Association, country music is the
#1 format among adults 18-54 and reigns over all other radio
formats with more than 2,000 stations nationwide. With 96 million
fans, the country music industry has some of the most loyal fans in
the world.
"This venture with Café Nashville allows us to tap active loyal
fan bases created by the Nashville stars," commented Rob Deakin,
CEO of Icon. "We're already in negotiations with various artists
and celebrities to start creating posters and other products that
will generate revenue for Icon Media's bottom line."
"We are excited about the synergistic opportunities between Café
Nashville and Icon Media," added Marvin Baker of Café Nashville.
"There are two major revenue sources for recording artists today:
touring and merchandising. Icon Media's technology will allow Café
Nashville to take advantage of new 'pop-up' trends in merchandising
and radio promotions without the usual heavy startup costs."
Country music fans spent $46 billion on domestic travel last
year -- comprising 47% of total dollars spent on domestic travel.
This includes fans traveling to Nashville and following their
favorite country music artists around the country.
"This is why we're so excited about the potential opportunities
to open a new revenue source for Icon Media. Country music artists
are touring all summer long which is traditionally a slow time for
us. This new business could increase production and cash flow in
the traditional slow summer season of our business. The best way to
solve a problem is to convert that problem into an opportunity.
We're doing just that with Café Nashville," says Rob Deakin.
This venture positions Icon for further visibility in the
entertainment related e-commerce market and provides valuable
marketing opportunities through traditional media outlets including
local radio affiliates like Café Nashville.
