PRESS RELEASE Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Election/Politics, TV/Cable, Advertising Industry, Internet Internet Campaign Commercials: A New Alternative to Expensive TV Campaign Ads WASHINGTON, D.C. - September 29, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Campaign technology company, ElectionMall Technologies, Inc. (www.electionmall.com), and media production company, Henninger Media Services have partnered to offer candidates an effective alternative to the television campaign commercial. The alliance will combine ElectionMall Technologies, Inc.'s product Net Campaign Commercial and Henninger's media production technology. Internet campaign commercials enable candidates and political organizations to run campaign ads twenty-four hours a day on their own websites at a more affordable cost than television ads. "A need for this technology has arisen in the campaigns and elections industry," explained CEO of ElectionMall Technologies, Inc., Ravi Singh. "Standard television commercials just are no longer a viable expense for many candidates, especially those running races at the local level. Television ads are getting more expensive each election season, so much so that many candidates have stopped running ads altogether. Not only are Internet campaign commercials more affordable, they enable candidates to say more than they can in a thirty- second TV ad." "Henninger Media Services has been involved with campaigns and elections for many years. We have also witnessed the evolution of media and audio production for the web," said CEO Rob Henninger. "It only seems natural these technologies would carry over to the political world. The Internet will enable candidates the ability to do things that are not possible through television."
