Business Description

Focus Media Holding Limited was incorporated in Cayman Islands.The Company operates an out-of-home advertising network in China using audiovisual television displays instead of traditional billboards to broadcast advertising. The Company's displays are placed primarily in high-traffic areas of commercial office buildings such as in lobbies and near elevators, as well as in large retail chain stores and other venues that have a high concentration of consumers with higher-than-average disposable incomes or that have consumers who are likely to be interested in particular types of products and services. Itsnetwork provides a targeted and cost-effective way for its advertising clients to reach segmented consumer groups with attractive demographic characteristics when compared to other forms of media such as traditional television or outdoor billboards. Due to the captive and low distraction nature of the locations where it places its displays, its network produces higher consumer recall rates of advertisements than traditional television advertisements.
