HitTheLoop.com to Launch in April 2012

Finding resources within Georgia's large and diverse visual media industry just got a whole lot easier. Developed by The Printing & Imaging Association of Georgia (PIAG), HitTheLoop.com is an online, searchable portal featuring businesses that make up Georgia's visual media industry, including: copy writers, printers, suppliers, designers, photographers, advertising agencies, marketing firms, and more. Launching in April 2012, The Loop will begin with resources from the print industry and will expand to include other visual media suppliers in collaboration with industry partners.

Features of The Loop include lead generation, geo-targeting, ad reporting and analytics, and content-rich information on demand. Listings and advertising opportunities are open to all businesses interested in reaching marketing and communications audiences.

"The Loop is a win/win for both the marketing and communications end-users and the myriad of suppliers who provide resources to those clients," explained Randy Camp, President of PIAG. "Today's marketing and communications success stories are a blend of integrated approaches and it is important that all of these resources be found and searched in one place. That's why The Loop is intended to be a collaboration of multiple associations whose members serve the marketing and communications end-user."
