LAS VEGAS, Jan. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- inMarket built its reputation creating contextual mobile experiences at retail stores for the world's largest brands. Today at CES, the Silicon Beach beacon platform announces inBar™, the ambient intelligence platform for brands to digitally engage consumers in entertainment venues. In partnership with AMI Entertainment, a leader in on-premise entertainment since 1909, inMarket will begin to roll out beacons to 23,000 entertainment venues across the U.S.

Brands can now engage patrons on their most personal device, precisely when they're enjoying a night out. inBar™ will have the power to turn phones into an "AI assistant" – waking up proactively when consumers need it most to facilitate hyper-relevant, second-screen experiences like:

Smart jukebox interactions that suggest songs or offer credits
Safe ride deals based on context, like being in the bar for 3+ hours
Extra swipes in your dating app
Drink specials just for checking your fantasy football scores during the game
Exclusive playlists or AR content just for being there

The program will reach all Android devices via Eddystone compatible beacons plus 50 million comScore-verified monthly active app users across inMarket's SDK platform.

"From vinyl, to digital and now online-offline convergence, AMI is a proven innovator of state-of-the-art entertainment equipment for bars and restaurants," said Michael Maas, CEO of AMI Entertainment. "We're excited to partner with inMarket to deliver amazing new contextual experiences to nightlife consumers, while creating the opportunity for brands to engage with hard-to-reach, on-the-go millennials."
