Muzak Extends Partnership with Sports Authority


Muzak will now deliver custom music to 400+ store locations across the
U.S.

FORT MILL, SC, July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Muzak, a Mood Media company and the
leader in sensory branding services for business in North America,
announced today that it has signed a new agreement with Sports
Authority, the nation's premier full-line sporting goods retailer,
extending the existing relationship.  Muzak will provide custom music
to the over 460 Sports Authority and SA Elite locations. Touch, Mood
Media's retail experience design team, worked closely with Sports
Authority to complete an extensive brand discovery process and develop
custom music programs that perfectly reflect Sports Authority's
personality and passionate customer base. The new Sports Authority
program focuses on creating a positive, energetic experience with a mix
of R&B, adult pop and indie pop, featuring artists such as Maroon 5,
Sara Bareilles and Cee-Lo Green.

To further realize a fully integrated in-store media strategy, Touch
also partnered with Sports Authority to create and implement a
promotional music download campaign to support the launch of the SA
Elite brand, and introduced a sound system redesign initiative to
ensure the optimal realization of the new concept.

"The SA Elite program has a stylish, innovative sound with electro,
lounge and indie rock and pop, including artists like La Roux, MSTRKRFT
and Tokyo Police Club," said Jeff Schumacher, Executive Vice President
and Chief Marketing Officer for Sports Authority. "Our goal was to
create an unparalleled shopping experience, and a relevant, targeted
custom music and video program which are cornerstone to our success."

"We are excited to extend our creative partnership with Sports Authority
and support its launch and expansion of SA Elite.  We love to
collaborate with our clients and help them take full advantage of the
power of their brands through an integrated in-store media approach. 
From the creative expertise of Touch to our A/V systems expertise and
national installation and support, no one else in the industry is
positioned to provide such comprehensive support." said Lorne Abony,
Chairman and CEO of Mood Media Corporation.
