3. Consumer behavior always guides new trends first, and advertisers always follow. We are a society always
connected, always wanting to be in touch and informed. Moments of micro-boredom are now opportunities
to check our phones, surf the web, catch a glimpse of the news or our favorite show. We are no longer
content to ride an elevator, pump our gas, buy a coffee, or fly on a plane without screens keeping us in touch
with the world around us. This massive shift in consumer behavior - always on, always connected - has created
a powerful demand for place-based media and advertising.
Context matters. Sitting at home on the sofa, enjoying our favorite beverage, checking your iPad, and
watching television is a great opportunity to media multi-task. We don’t engage at home, - we unwind. Many
of us are so busy, so digitally driven - that we cut the cord in our home and live on-demand, time-shifted and
wireless in our media cocoons. “Outside the home” is the new “in-home” of yesterday. Digital media has
made working out at the gym our new news hour. Flying on a plane, has become the new cinema in the sky.
Digital place-based media is all about context. Time and place cannot only guarantee that an advertisement
isn’t skipped - but it can directly impact purchase consideration. Consumers outside the home, with wallet
and keys in hand, are active and receptive to messaging along the path to purchase.
RMG Networks is the leader in digital place-based media. We understand and deliver the largest network
of captive viewing and digital media advertising opportunities to agencies and brands. Tens of millions of
consumers each month, engage with our digital place-based media and change their purchase behavior
as a result of context. We’ve commissioned New York based photographer, Kate Owen to create this photo
exposé highlighting this Addictive medium. We hope that you enjoy!

5. We can’t look away.
It catches our eye. And in that moment, everything else fades. Even when we try to turn
away, we can’t. We’re addicted.
This is the grip of these screens. Now that we think of it, they’re everywhere, aren’t they?
Helping us through our day. Giving us that small fix whenever we need it. Information,
entertainment, distraction. Whatever gets the job done.
What did we do before? In those dark days before perpetual content at every turn?
They were bleak, barren times. Let’s never speak of them again.
Instead, let’s celebrate this sweet addiction of ours. These small portals to anywhere.
And let’s find out exactly what they can do.

37. We like to watch.
We’re under the grip of these screens. They won’t let go. And the truth is, we don’t even want
them to. We’re addicted. Proudly hooked on whatever it is they have to offer.
Context matters. We don’t engage at home-we unwind. Many of us are so busy that we’ve cut
the cord in our home and live on-demand, time-shifted and wireless in our cocoons. “Outside
the home” is the new “in-home.” The only way advertisers can engage with us and make us
aware of their latest offerings is through these screens.
Do you want to get in on this? We know the perfect place.
We’ll hook you up.
