Prime Point Media Announces New Contracts for Advertising Locations in NYC

Prime Point Media has signed new contracts authorizing its advertising on hundreds of large-format payphone kiosks in New York City. The company is the largest provider of targeted eye-level media with rights to advertise on hundreds of thousands of payphones nationwide.

Under the terms of the new media representative agreements, Prime Point Media now offers approximately 800 large-format panels in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens for immediate sale to national and local advertisers. The company has also opened a New York office and hired staff to sell the new inventory and service its clients locally.

“New York City is the number one advertising market in the country and an important piece of our growth strategy”, said Mark Brodkin, CEO of Prime Point Media’s parent company, Outdoor Partner Media. “Large-format phone kiosks in New York City are a great addition to our extensive nationwide network of standard payphone kiosks, Los Angeles-area large-format phone kiosks and lifeguard tower displays, and our PrimeCasting Bluetooth application.”

“With the addition of these exceptional advertising locations, we have significantly strengthened our ability to place campaigns in every DMA throughout the United States,” said Dana Michaelis, Prime Point Media’s Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “We’re excited because we know advertisers regard these New York City large-format panels as some of the best-positioned, highest- trafficked phone kiosk inventory in the country. This inventory is particularly effective for targeting neighborhood-specific pockets of ethnicity, point-of-presence and point-of-sale campaigns.”

Bruce Sandys, president of BAS Communications, one of Prime Point Media’s new advertising providers with a large payphone route across upper Manhattan and throughout New York’s boroughs, said, “Our agreement with Prime Point Media to advertise on our large-format inventory in New York City further reinforces Prime Point’s preeminent position as the leader in payphone advertising across the country. We are pleased and excited to have awarded them the contract to represent our company for advertising.”
