Based in Bethel, Conn., Elite specializes in the development of unique sampling and promotional programs that allow the consumer packaged goods industry to reach desired target audiences in a cost-efficient manner.

"Our team has developed extraordinary expertise in putting brands in the hands of consumers. There is no doubt that the value of cinema sampling increases based on the value of the audience, and there is truly no audience more valuable, engaged and captivated than moviegoers," said Andy Kovachik, EVP, Chief Operating Officer, Elite Sampling. "We look forward to working with Screenvision Media to deliver unprecedented consumer access to brands."

Screenvision Media also announced the hire of industry veteran David Griffin as a national Account Executive, where he will focus on lobby promotions and activations at Screenvision Media.

"As the demand for cinema advertising has grown, so has the value of our lobby network. This network is not only an extremely powerful addition to an existing on-screen advertising campaign, but also as an impactful standalone program," said Katy Loria, EVP, Chief Revenue Officer, Screenvision Media. "The demand for the latter has resonated with us, as we know the receptive state of mind of the moviegoer and the time spent in our lobbies before and after the movie. We are excited to bring this added value to our advertisers and to have David Griffin on the team as we start our exciting work with Elite Sampling."
