"Patriot joins a growing list of companies who desire not only to pinpoint their marketing message to a target consumer, but also to utilize iMedia's amazing capacity to generate direct consumer response and transactions. Patriot recognized immediately that our 'transactional media' can be used for both business-to-business, and business-to-consumer marketing, in many cases incorporating much of the same content. This is a trend that will continue to gain momentum in future months with many of iMedia's clients."
