Lindemans Selects JAGTAG to Power its First Mobile Marketing Campaign for 'Great Finds' Program

NEW YORK, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- JAGTAG (www.jagtag.com), the U.S. leader in mobile 2D barcode advertising, announced that it will launch the first mobile marketing campaign for Lindemans, one of Australia's oldest and most loved wine brands, as part of its "Great Finds" program.  By leveraging JAGTAG mobile 2D barcodes, Lindemans will enable consumers to enter a mobile sweepstakes for the chance to win a weekend getaway to one of five "Great Finds" locations in the United States.

The Lindemans "Great Finds" program with JAGTAG engages both novice and experienced wine enthusiasts to offer the best travel "finds" and recommendations.  JAGTAG mobile 2D barcodes will be featured in Lindemans take-one booklets as well as on product point-of-sale materials in grocery and liquor stores nationwide.  Consumers can snap and send a photo of the Lindemans-branded JAGTAGs with any camera phone to automatically enter to win a free trip or numerous other prizes, such as FlipMino camcorders and travel totes.  Through a partnership between Lindemans and Travelocity, consumers can win a "Great Finds" getaway to one of five unique vacation destinations, including Healdsburg, California; Sedona, Arizona; Mackinac Island, Michigan; Asheville, North Carolina; and Block Island, Rhode Island.  BFG Communications, a Hilton Head-based marketing firm, developed the national "Great Finds" campaign.

"JAGTAG's ability to reach and engage a mass mobile audience makes them an excellent partner for our first mobile program," said Francesca Schuler, Chief Marketing Officer for Lindemans.  "By incorporating a compelling mobile element with our in-store marketing efforts, we can now provide consumers with a unique experience that truly highlights Lindemans wines as a 'Great Find.'"

JAGTAG works on all camera phones and across all major wireless carriers in the United States without requiring users to download an application.  Lindemans is using JAGTAG 2D mobile barcodes to enhance its in-store marketing and create a more interactive shopping experience.  The campaign is also designed to reward both loyal and new customers with the chance to experience the luxury of the Lindemans brand.  Fans can follow @Lindemanswines on Twitter or visit them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lindemans.

"We're providing Lindemans with the technology to bring their marketing into the mobile arena and reach 90 percent of all mobile users," said Dudley Fitzpatrick, founder and chief innovation officer of JAGTAG.  "This campaign is a strong example of how JAGTAG can be leveraged at the point-of-sale and in conjunction with a brand's existing marketing efforts to reach consumers with an enticing offer.  For its first mobile campaign, Lindemans has designed an expansive program that builds on the success of other JAGTAG blue chip clients such as Toyota and Sports Illustrated."

The campaign will run nationwide from July 1, 2010 until August 31, 2010, and is the first of several upcoming collaborations with JAGTAG and Lindemans.  For more information about the "Great Finds" program, go to www.lindemansgreatfinds.com.
