Modern Living Media Delivers Access to 8.5 Million Home Enthusiasts
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. – ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq:VCLK) announced the introduction of Modern Living Media, a vertical advertising network built to deliver targeted consumer audiences for home and garden marketers and their agencies.
According to comScore, Modern Living Media launches with a potential reach of 8.5 million unique visitors per month. comScore data also suggests the Modern Living Media audience is demographically attractive, with a high index of adults 25 to 54 years old who are homeowners and have a household income greater than $75,000.
Among the more than 50 home remodeling, decorating and gardening sites included in the Modern Living Media network are National Fix and Flip Network, Ideal Home Garden, Home Interiors Zone, Decorator Secrets, BathroomCentral.com, PaintSplashes.com and DesignHole.com.
Modern Living Media’s “Project-specific Targeting” allows home and garden marketers to associate their brand with highly curated content categories related to a range of popular home improvement projects, including Kitchens, Bathrooms, Gardening & Landscaping, Green Home, Decorating, Do It Yourself and more.
Home and garden advertisers, like those in many vertical categories, are challenged by the fragmentation of their audience across hundreds of media outlets. Modern Living Media aggregates the audience of home enthusiasts online, providing a brand-safe way to reach scalable, yet narrowly defined consumer segments in the days and weeks leading up to the start of their new home improvement projects.
“Even the largest home and garden media properties on television and online reach only a fraction of the audience that is ready to buy,” said Denise Zaraya, vertical strategy director, ValueClick Media. “Modern Living Media delivers a unique solution to marketers who want to associate their brand with a specific type of high-quality content at scale.”
Modern Living Media also offers home and garden marketers a unique way to capitalize on the anticipated upswing in home decorating and remodeling. According to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) published by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, homeowner improvement spending is projected to grow 12.4 percent in 2011.
