Cinema Scene Marketing & Promotions, LLC is Acquired by Vision Media Management

October 20, 2016

Vision Media Management (Vision) of Valencia, California, acquired Cinema Scene Marketing & Promotions, LLC (Cinema Scene or the Company) of Overland Park, Kansas, expanding its digital capabilities and service offerings to motion picture studios and cinemas across the United States. Cinema Scene delivers promotional marketing and merchandising solutions to cinema clients via concessions packaging, digital marketing and menu boards, and marketing services. The combination of these two industry leaders creates a greater marketing force for theater lobbies, retailers, conventions, and other out-of-home venues. Jordan Knauff & Company (JKC) served as exclusive financial advisor to Cinema Scene throughout the transaction.

Founded in 2005, Cinema Scene has grown into a well-recognized provider of targeted digital marketing media and promotional materials connecting Hollywood studios and corporate advertisers to a captive cinema viewer base. The Company’s industry leading solutions can be found in most of the top cinema circuits in North America reaching over 300 million cinemagoers annually. Its TrailerVision™, VideoWall, and Signature Wall digital lobby displays achieve maximum impact for the highly desirable and captive movie going consumer.

Vision is a provider of marketing and fulfillment services to major entertainment studios and consumer product entities. The combination of the two companies will allow their customers to design, plan, and execute promotional campaigns using a complete physical and digital marketing asset portfolio. Vision is a portfolio company of CenterGate Capital, an Austin, Texas-based private equity investment firm.

“Cinema Scene is thrilled to become a part of the Vision Media Management family. With complementary products and similar culture, we knew they were the natural fit for us. But most importantly, Vision and Cinema Scene are aligned in our view of the future of where our collective product offerings bring incredible value to our studio clients and exhibitor partners,” commented Mr. Joseph Ross, Managing Partner of Cinema Scene.

Mr. G. Cook Jordan, Jr., Co-founder and Managing Principal of JKC, said of the transaction, “We were pleased to be part of the process bringing together these two companies that share a relentless focus on developing and introducing new technologies for the increasingly digital future of marketing and promotions.”
