INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon Brand Ventures, the media sales arm of Simon Property Group, announced today that it will become the exclusive sales agent of the popular Backlit Ad Panels at 122 Simon^® shopping centers. Forty-eight centers will transition January 1, 2016; 19 centers on April 1, 2016; 52 centers on June 1, 2016; and the remaining three centers on July 26, 2016.

Many iconic Simon properties are part of the transition, including The Galleria (Houston), Lenox Square (Atlanta), Fashion Center at Pentagon City (Washington, DC), Copley Place (Boston), Dadeland Mall (Miami), The Shops at Mission Viejo (Los Angeles / Orange County), Roosevelt Field (NYC), and King of Prussia (Philadelphia), among others.

"Adding Backlit Ad Panels to our proprietary media offering, which already includes SkyBanners, Large Format Digital Screens, BriteWalls, Spectaculars, and WallScapes, will streamline the planning and buying process for our agency and client partners," said Chip Harding, Senior Vice President of Simon Brand Ventures.

"Strategically, this is the right time for us to take direct control and ownership over this important media asset in these centers," added Mikael Thygesen, President of Simon Brand Ventures. "No one is better positioned than we are to market and sell our medium. We have outperformed the overall out-of-home advertising market by a wide margin over the past five years and we expect that trend to continue. The addition of Backlit Ad Panels to our offering will only help propel our business forward."

The complete list of the transition properties by market is attached.
