COMPANY PROFILE:
Reactrix Systems, Inc. is a 5 year old, 80+ person
organization located
in Redwood City, CA. It has introduced a new dynamic
advertising
display medium - Reactrix. The medium presents advertising
and
sponsored spots that are projected on to large, highly
trafficked areas
like floors. Unlike other advertising media, people play
with branded
digital images and animations in groups. People interact
for up to 2
minutes with projected images that react to their movements.
To date, the OUT-OF-HOME Advertising category, and
particularly
advertising in malls and theaters, has been the home of
static
billboards, rotating signage, and television-like screen
displays.
Coupled with the downward trend for overall effectiveness of
most media
choices, Reactrix is positioned to enable advertisers to
reach people
more effectively than previously offered media forms. In
late 2005,
Arbitron conducted Reactrix-sponsored research to evaluate
the
effectiveness of Reactrix advertising. The results of the
media study,
published in January 2006, are among the highest advertising
effectiveness scores Arbitron has ever observed across all
media types.
Through the centralized Reactrix Network, advertisers can
easily place
and track dynamic advertising and merchandising messages
that break
through the clutter and engage prospects and customers in a
way never
before possible. The Reactrix Network is available in the
Top 10 DMAs
in the largest trafficked malls and theaters with estimated
traffic
averaging 120M monthly. Current national advertisers
include a major
beverage company, a movie studio, and a Telco.

Holidays, and accrued Paid Time Off - starting at 15
