Orion Entertainment Launches e-Zine Service
 Remington Country eZine
Denver, Colorado--Officials from Orion Entertainment have announced the launch of a new service to help brands reach consumers without traditional media filters. Tablet magazines are not new but the strategy of brands taking their message direct to consumers through a compelling combination of video, articles, photography, and creative design via eZines represents the next generation of media marketing and corporate empowerment.
"The fact that so many brands now possess large numbers of consumer email addresses allows them to develop a dialogue directly with customers rather than through media filters alone," says Orion President Chris Dorsey. "This approach means that brands don't have to share the real estate with competitors, and these fully interactive eZines also enhance the value of corporate websites in which many companies have invested heavily."
With its 25,000-hour global HD video and still photo archive, the best producers, writers, and editors in the business, Orion is uniquely positioned to empower brands to activate consumers like never before. In the past, manufacturers have tried custom newsstand magazines to eliminate media filters and to not have to share space with competitors. Relative to the capabilities of an eZine, however, this approach is far more costly, reaches a small fraction of the consumers possible through an eZine, does not provide for the use of powerful video, and the manufacturer never captures a reader's name. This reality, coupled with declining newsstand sales and the ability of eZines to instantly reach international audiences has opened the door for a new approach.
"We're seeing numerous manufacturers and retailers that have much larger lists of outdoor consumer names than many traditional outdoor media companies," says Dorsey. "So it's only logical that manufacturers and retailers would open channels of communication directly with their customers before someone else does. Many companies now are developing aggressive strategies to collect a maximum number of names and email addresses as the race is on to provide them with not only best in class product with which to enjoy the outdoors but to also provide them with credible information and advice from experts and brand advocates."
