in-Store Media is 25 years young with the same objective as when it was founded: to improve communication among brands, retailers and shoppers, while enhancing the in-store experience (both physical and online)
How has a company which began in 1998 with 3 people evolved to be present on 3 continents with more than 150 employees? There are 3 reasons
1
Our 100% Shopper focus: our value proposition, centred on the buying process, has allowed us to create relevant communication networks at the point of sale.
2
Our retail partners (more than 60) and advertisers (more than 1,600). We have grown by accompanying the evolution of the shopper, from the first citylight in El Corte Inglés in 1998 to today’s omnichannel communication networks available in all countries where we are present.
3
Our team: With more than 150 professionals, whose passion and commitment have made in-Store Media the leading company that we are today.
Join us as we look back over the key milestones of these 25 years!
