Delivery Agent’s ShopTV, the as-seen-on-TV shopping platform, has advanced to the final round of the prestigious Edison Awards. The awards recognize the “persistence and excellence personified by Thomas Edison, while also strengthening the human drive for innovation, creativity and ingenuity.” ShopTV technology allows audiences to purchase items directly from advertisements and television shows through web, mobile, and television apps.
The company represents disruption in an industry ripe for change. “It’s exciting to see companies like Delivery Agent continuing Thomas Edison’s legacy of challenging conventional thinking,” said Frank Bonafilia, Edison Awards’ executive director.
Delivery Agent is the market leader in turning television audiences into customers for brands and media companies. It maintains partnerships with NBC, FOX, CBS, HBO, Live Nation, Bravado, Tiger Woods, Pepsi, Visa, Comcast, AT&T, Verizon and Samsung, among others. The Delivery Agent model sets it apart from traditional broadcasting and advertisements. It brings scalability, organization and an easy opportunity to generate revenue to a previously complicated business area.
Over 3,000 business executives judge the Edison Award finalists before they are selected. “We’re thrilled our team has been recognized for the work they’ve done to turn television from a passive medium into an interactive one with an analytics suite that benefits viewers and advertisers alike,” says Mike Fitzsimmons, CEO of Delivery Agent. Award winners will be announced on April 21, 2016 at the Edison Awards Annual Gala in New York City.
