Media Matchmaker's beta site was launched January 2006
Jerry Solomon, President, Star Games TV, Lynnfield, MA:
"I came across Media Matchmaker in an article online. I contacted them and they made it very easy to become involved. After understanding exactly what they were doing, I was immediately convinced that this corporate dating service was an idea that was long overdue. The fact that we had the opportunity to create virtually instant relationships was a great benefit. The fact that it actually worked and we were able to make a deal for one of our shows made it that much better."
"The number of independent producers and advertisers interested in reaching a specific audience in a creative way continues to increase daily. As a sports content provider, it is not always easy to find companies that have the budgets to advertise but are not necessarily mainstream advertisers. Media matchmaker has allowed us to do that a couple of times already working with the likes of Quikdrop and Swing Juice, the latter of which came through an e-mail directly from the president of the company. Swing Juice will have a multi-platform deal with the International Junior Golf Tour, a situation that allows them to put their product right into the hands of their target market. Without Media Matchmaker, that deal NEVER would have happened as we would not have been able to find each other, despite the fact that our offices are 50 miles apart."
Jon Mason, President, Swing JuiceTM Brands, Inc., Lincoln, RI:
"This is a great opportunity for us - and one that would never have happened without the use of Media Matchmaker. We've been looking for opportunities to get our product into the hands of young golfers and it has been time consuming and costly to find appropriate marketing opportunities. When Jerry Solomon of StarGames and I connected via Media Matchmaker, I was surprised at how easy and efficient the service was. It's kind of funny, I'm based in Rhode Island and Jerry is in Massachusetts, and we had to find each other through a Los Angeles based service."
Corey Weiss, VP, Integrated Marketing & Promotions, Palisades Media Group, Los Angeles, CA:
"Media Matchmaker allows producers to find more nimble brands rather than having to deal with the behemoths, who allocate their dollars anywhere from six to 18 months in advance. For a brand like Quick Drop, which doesn't have a seven or eight figure budget for integrated opportunities, it helps find suitable, effective solutions."
Michael Walker, SVP Sales and Marketing, Autonet TV:
"As a start-up, out of home TV network, my resources are limited. Within a few days of signing on with Media Matchmaker, I was matched with the decision makers of a national insurance company. Fortunately, we were able to come to terms and sign a contract. I credit Media Matchmaker's ease of use and efficiency for this deal, since it saved me months of prospecting and money by providing such a valuable on-line introduction."
