IC Places Signs New Advertising Agreement for Interactive Advertising on Its Shows

IC Places, Inc. (OTCQB: ICPA) (PINKSHEETS: ICPA) is pleased to announce that it has signed an advertising agreement with leading online video advertising network, Tremor Media to deliver 6 million monthly interactive in-stream ads over the IC Places Network of City Websites.

IC Places produces several popular weekly video shows. These shows include The Instant Movie Review, Instant DVD Review, Cooking for Bachelors, 1st Look and IC Sports. The agreements allow IC Places to monetize viewership with cutting edge video ad formats, such as vChoice from Tremor Media, which allows advertisers to go beyond traditional pre-roll by presenting the viewer with options to view additional video content such as multiple TV ads, product reviews, tutorials, or long form branded content within the video player as part of the pre-roll experience.

For example, utilizing Tremor Media's vChoice ad format, an auto maker could present a short teaser video of a featured model before an IC Places show, followed by several video choices such as 1) explore the entertainment system and view a demo of the DVD player; 2) watch a Consumer Reports video comparing this model to others in the same class; 3) watch a video on safe driving tips; and 4) search the inventory and pricing of local dealers in the user's area. All of this can be experienced by the viewer inside of the player, without leaving the IC Places page.

Tremor Media's Acudeo(R) technology provides IC Places with a full suite of products and services to monetize streaming video and maximize ROI, while supporting advanced ad formats such as vChoice. In addition, the Acudeo platform allows IC Places to schedule, inventory, and dynamically deliver in-stream video and overlay ads from multiple ad sources within a single control center and provides access to the industry's leading revenue sources, allowing IC Places is able to monetize video not just via Tremor Media but also via other major ad networks.

"Once the shows we produce reach a hundred million in viewership across the net, we searched for a way to monetize the views over our networks," said Steve Samblis, President of IC Places, Inc. "Tremor Media's Acudeo platform offered the most sophisticated Ad Management System for monetizing video, allowing us to maximize ROI while maintaining full flexibility and control over our video advertising inventory. Working with Tremor gives us the finest quality and quantity of advertising on our networks and results in the highest ROI possible."
