MONTREAL, May 17, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- A prominent presence is one of A.G. Media's (Pink Sheets:AMGJ) trademarks and its appearance at this year's GMA Week Conference was no exception.
Through its prime booth placement in the main floor lobby of the host hotel, the company rolled out its recently rebranded GospelCity website as well as announced the launching of a new e-commerce property and brand, Vertical Noize to an audience of over 3,500 conference attendees. The heavily trafficked booth was a main attraction for artists, acts and industry personnel and enabled the company to capture a great deal of original content for the GospelCity.com web property including audio interviews, photos and video footage.
The added exposure through this large industry conference provided a great way for the company to reach new clients and build on existing relationships as well as extend its overall audience reach. The results have been new soon-to-be-announced strategic alliances and new advertising client sales.
GospelCity, highly established in the urban Christian market, also helped the conference overall in driving more of this key audience demographic activity for the Gospel Music Association.
"There seemed to be more diversity at the week than there has been -- ever! There were many positive comments in that respect and I know that GospelCity was a big part of that diversity," commented Jennifer Womble, Marketing Coordinator for the Gospel Music Association.
