Immedia Broadcasting plc 27 September 2005 27 September 2005 Immedia Broadcasting Plc GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare commit to a new two-year advertising contract with Immedia's live radio station Lloydspharmacy Live Immedia Broadcasting Plc ('Immedia'), the UK's leading provider of live tailored radio for retailers, today announces that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Consumer Healthcare has just signed up to an unprecedented two-year broadcast package with Immedia's radio station Lloydspharmacy Live. The radio service provided by Lloydspharmacy exclusively reaches 52,000 pharmacy customers each and every hour and plays for 9.5 hours per day. GSK has been an avid fan of the broadcast medium since Immedia's Lloydspharmacy Live was launched two and a half years ago. Since its inception GSK has used the leading community pharmacy chain's airwaves as an educational tool to raise awareness of key healthcare issues. Peter Hinkley, Sales Director at GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare said ' Lloydspharmacy Live provides a channel through which we can work with Lloyds pharmacies to drive awareness of seasonal healthcare issues and advertising campaigns with Lloydspharmacy customers (as well as healthcare assistants and pharmacists). Lloydspharmacy Live is a valuable media source that we believe has clear benefits for customers, pharmacy staff and of course our business.' More than 60 other suppliers have also taken advantage of the medium since its launch by Bruno Brookes in 2003 - with many taking advantage of the additional staff training option. Mark Green, Commercial Director for Lloydspharmacy commented, 'Lloydspharmacy Live is designed to educate and entertain our customers and staff and we have never strayed from the initial aims of the station - to be responsible, informative and pioneering. It is a strategy that works well. We are communicating key healthcare messages in a way we know our customers can relate to and respond to.' Bruno Brookes, CEO, Immedia Broadcasting Plc added: 'We are delighted that GSK has signed this new two-year contract with Immedia to continue advertising on our highly successful radio station Lloydspharmacy Live. We are now consolidating existing client relationships as well as developing new ones, as we solidfy our presence in the retail sector. It is a competitive market and for traditional terrestrial radio operators, advertising commitments are usually on a more short-term basis. Thus this makes GSK's new two-year contract with us especially pleasing and differentiates Immedia's in-store radio as a medium to which advertisers want to commit long-term.'
