Bauer unveils SnapNow for interactive mag ads
LONDON - Bauer Media is to carry interactive ads on its magazines such as Kerrang!, after licensing visual ad technology from SnapNow.
The SnapNow technology means that by using a WAP-enabled mobile camera phone, magazine readers can take a picture of an ad in a magazine and send the image via text message or e-mail to Bauer.

Users then receive a text message featuring additional product information or special offers related to the ad in question.
Bauer Media rock magazine Kerrang! will feature the first Bauer Media SnapNow-enabled ad for client Play.com in its August issue.
The technology can work on platforms, including video, TV programmes and poster sites.
