Big Village Launches Smart Targets: Dynamic Real-Time Audience Segments That Help Brands and Agencies Reach the Highest Value Customers and Reduce Waste.

Boca Raton, FL, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bright Mountain Media, Inc.

Designed to help consumer brands maintain an always-on connection to their customers, Smart Targets provide a dynamic, evolving picture of buyer personas - empowering strategic decision-making, enriching marketing efforts, and fueling growth.

Big Village leverages AI to derive audiences, assess consumer sentiment among large samples, and mine large data sets with natural language. “Artificial intelligence is central to our ability to provide our clients with an up-to-date understanding of their target audience that goes beyond the traditional behavioral signals common in the marketing ecosystem. By combining qualitative, quantitative, and behavioral data with generative AI analytic tools, we can provide deeper audience understanding in a fraction of the time and cost,” says David Albert, Big Village’s General Manager.

Promising to support insights and marketing leadership, Smart Targets are designed to enhance clarity and control in decision-making, leveraging an always-on, accessible platform that strengthens with each related insights project. The process builds an invaluable asset for client teams transforming how they work with their stakeholders and communicate with consumers.

$BMTM HBO and Deep Focus Celebrate the Silver Anniversary of The Greatest Series of All Time

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/03/05/2840379/0/en/HBO-and-Deep-Focus-Celebrate-the-Silver-Anniversary-of-The-Greatest-Series-of-All-Time.html

Boca Raton, FL, March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bright Mountain Media, Inc. (OTCQB: BMTM) (“Bright Mountain” or the “Company”), a global holding company with current investments in digital publishing, advertising technology, consumer insights, and creative media services, today announced that their subsidiary, Deep Focus, an award-winning creative and media agency, recently launched a campaign with HBO to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Sopranos.

Just months after the re-launch of Deep Focus, the agency and HBO are once again partnering to celebrate another seminal anniversary for The Sopranos.

For the series’ 20th anniversary, the agency partnership created one of the greatest twitter threads of the year with a single tweet, offering Soprano-worthy mob nicknames for whoever wanted one. 300,000,000 impressions and 5 years later, the two are back at it.

On January 10th, The Sopranos turned 25. Deep Focus and HBO wanted to make sure that its silver anniversary was unforgettable with three activations to excite the fandom.

Long revered by fans as a cornerstone of the series itself, Tony’s beloved ducks set into course Tony’s surprising and complex character arc. To pay homage to the (in)famous, they welcomed them back to Tony’s backyard for a livestream on social, 25 years after they first appeared, resulting in over 1,000,000 minutes spent with duck content across platforms.

Few shows cast food itself in such a central role as The Sopranos, from Carmela’s ziti to a slice of gabagool. To give fans who have always wanted to try Jersey’s finest for themselves, they launched a Satriale’s pop-up that delivered an original Sopranos-inspired Italian sandwich right to their door. For one day only, New York and Los Angeles had a chance to get a bite of television history, exclusively on Postmates - which sold out in just two hours.

Finally, to pay respect to the greatest show of all time, they condensed each of its 86 action-packed, genre-defining episodes into 60 seconds, for the fans to get a bite-sized taste of every moment, which resulted in HBO’s TikTok gaining 50,000 followers in the first two weeks of the campaign.

This marks another significant campaign for the relationship between Deep Focus and HBO, who together have won several awards, including the 2023 Webby for Best Overall Social Presence – Media/Entertainment, a 2022 MediaPost OMMA Award in the Entertainment: Games/Music/TV/Other category, and a 2019 Clio Entertainment Gold Award, just to name a few.

"The Sopranos redefined the television landscape, and reaching this 25-year milestone is a testament to its enduring legacy and the profound connection it has with its audience," said Steve Scutellaro, SVP & Managing Director of Deep Focus. "Our latest collaboration with HBO speaks to our commitment to pushing boundaries and celebrating iconic storytelling. Here's to honoring the past and shaping the future of entertainment together."

Deep Focus will continue to be led by Executive Creative Director Matt Steinwald, Managing Director Steve Scutellaro, Head of Strategy Lindsey Allison, and Head of Media & Analytics Kyle Krueger, under Bright Mountain Media CEO Matt Drinkwater.

Boca Raton, FL, Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bright Mountain Media, Inc. (OTCQB: BMTM) ("Bright Mountain" or the "Company"), a global holding company with current investments in digital publishing, advertising technology, consumer insights, and creative media services, today announced that Deep Focus, the award-winning creative and media agency most recently known as Big Village Agency, is taking back its name under the new ownership of Bright Mountain Media.

Big Village Insights will continue to operate as Big Village and will serve as a partner to Deep Focus for continuing consumer research and business intelligence.

Deep Focus, originally founded in 2002 to bring brands closer to people and people closer to each other, was acquired by ENGINE USA in 2010 and was again rebranded as Big Village Agency in 2022. This return to its original name represents a refocus on the culture and values that made Deep Focus so successful against all odds over the past two decades.

“The DNA of Deep Focus was always there, and we still have a significant number of people that joined us before all the rebranding started as well as some brilliant people we’ve collected along the way. This is just a return to our roots—a story about people who wanted an agency that didn’t fit the mold of other agencies, so they built one from scratch and protected it through the years. For us, it’s always been Deep Focus, and it feels right to make it official again,” said Matt Steinwald, Deep Focus executive creative director.

While agencies being bought, sold, and spun off is nothing new on Madison Avenue, clients don’t usually stick with them throughout that tumultuous journey. What makes Deep Focus unique is that through it all, long-time clients like HBO Max continued to believe in the team and the work, winning awards such as the 2023 Webby for Best Overall Social Presence – Media/Entertainment, a 2022 MediaPost OMMA Award in the Entertainment: Games/Music/TV/Other category, and a 2019 Clio Entertainment Gold Award, just to name a few. The agency’s client roster includes top names in the media and tourism industries like Max, NBCUniversal, Nickelodeon, the Aruba Tourism Authority, Avis Budget Group and Ace Hotel Group, along with recent work for brands including Angi, PF. Flyers, American Public Education, Inc. (APEI), Credible, Liberty Science Center and others. Deep Focus will continue to be led by Executive Creative Director Matt Steinwald, Managing Director Steve Scutellaro, Head of Strategy Lindsey Allison, and Head of Media & Analytics Kyle Krueger, under Bright Mountain Media CEO Matt Drinkwater.

Ian Schafer, the original founder and CEO of Deep Focus and one of advertising’s most influential voices in digital marketing and social media, will support the team as founder emeritus in an advisory capacity. “The name Deep Focus brings with it a reputation for understanding how people use, create, and engage with their media, and what it takes to earn their valuable attention. But then again, Deep Focus has always been about people—including the people who make it so great. I'm so happy the team gets to take back ownership of their identity, and I'm excited to support them as they help their clients win with great, new assets around them," said Ian.

Deep Focus and Big Village’s Insights division joined Bright Mountain in April, rounding out their new owner’s growing portfolio of media assets including BrightStream, a robust stack of programmatic technology, and Wild Sky Media, a collection of high-profile owned and operated audience destinations offering global reach through engaging content and multicultural audiences.

Bright Mountain Media CEO Matt Drinkwater said, “This is a group of immensely talented people who have continued to produce amazing work and grow revenue regardless of the circumstances around them. We were fortunate to have an opportunity to acquire an agency of this pedigree and at the same time strengthen Bright Mountain’s portfolio of complementary businesses.”
