“This integration with Place Exchange advances Shark Experience’s ability to deliver great ad experiences alongside great content experiences,” said Jeremy Ostermiller, CEO and co-founder, Edison Interactive. “Historically, technology has been slow to integrate with the game of golf. Cameras, cellphones and other technologies were initially not welcome on the course. Shark Experience offers a breakthrough opportunity to reach the affluent golf audience in a captive setting for 4 plus hours at a time. Marketers understand that it offers a unique chance to engage with them – all while they are doing what they love most, playing the game.”
