Advertising company to go interactive

OUTDOOR digital media company Focus Media said it may roll out interactive advertising facilities in the second half this year to provide a more diverse advertising package and reach a wider range of viewers.

Its profits stood at US$47.2 million in the fourth quarter of last year, compared with a net loss of US$57 million for the year as a whole, the Shanghai-based company said in a statement yesterday.

Revenue jumped 44 percent year on year to US$159.7 million after income from outdoor LCD display networks and billboards increased.

The interactive advertising model will start in one or two major cities and then expand to around a dozen other domestic cities in the second half of this year, Focus Media chairman and chief executive officer Jason Jiang said yesterday.

The new technology will offer a more interactive experience for customers and has been under development for several years, he said.
