(AMS), responsible for the development of 3GTv Networks(TM), the first out-of-home form of television, announced that Steve Grubbs, former CEO of Omnicom Media Group Entertainment & Sports, will advise the company as it introduces 3GTv Networks(TM), a platform that extends television into the store aisle providing advertisers the ability to reach shoppers as they make purchase decisions. Mr. Grubbs joins an esteemed group of industry leaders and advisors to AMS including Willard Bishop, Nick Loria, Larry Blasius and Dr. Jennifer Burton, Ph.D., as the company prepares for the 3GTv(TM) pilot program set to begin in select Bloom grocery stores in the Washington, D.C. metro area later this summer.

"3GTv Networks(TM) creates the ultimate win/win scenario for retailers, marketers, agencies and shoppers," said Mr. Grubbs.

Retailers gain access to alternate revenue streams and can offer shoppers access to more information about the products they are buying."

Steve Grubbs served as CEO of Omnicom Group's sports and entertainment division until 2009. Prior to that, he had been North American CEO at PHD and earlier, was U.S. CEO at OMD. Previously, he led national broadcast buying at BBDO.

"The great news that Steve is sharing with his fellow media agency colleagues is that 3GTv Networks(TM) is completely consistent with traditional television buys and can be confidently added to their planned media mix," said AMS CEO Bob Wolinsky. "Steve understands that 3GTv Networks(TM) sits at the crossroads of legacy media and new media, extending the television envelope in a way that gives agencies a direct line to their target - at the point of decision."

As AMS prepares for broad deployment of 3GTv Networks(TM), the company continues to add key industry thought leaders to its roster of advisors. Steve Grubbs marks the latest endorsement of the company's business and offering, adding significant depth of expertise to its management team.
