RetailMeNot's new branding campaign includes advertising on national television networks such as HGTV, E!, Bravo, TLC, Food Network, USA, TNT and others.

The television ad portrays a woman experiencing her own personal shopping nirvana while using RetailMeNot.com to save on the things she wants. It also features top retailers and e-commerce sites such as Kohl's, Best Buy and Orbitz to highlight some of the 60,000+ merchants that consumers will find coupons for on RetailMeNot—saving shoppers an average of nearly $20 each time they use one of the 500,000+ available offers. The ad directs users to visit RetailMeNot.com or download the mobile app to "Score the Savings You Want!"™

The branding campaign will complement RetailMeNot's OctoNovemCember holiday shopping campaign that launched in October and will run throughout the holiday shopping season. The campaign includes display advertising and online video, plus promotional activities across national television programming, leading websites, blogs and social media sites.

RetailMeNot's agency, GSD&M, in Austin, TX, developed the creative for both the brand and holiday campaigns, and also handled the media planning and buying duties for TV, display and online video.

"This branding campaign will introduce an even greater number of consumers to RetailMeNot and shows them that they can take advantage of the offers available on RetailMeNot.com or via RetailMeNot's mobile app to save money nearly every time they shop at nationally known retailers they love and trust," said Jill Balis, the senior vice president of marketing, WhaleShark Media, Inc., the operator of RetailMeNot.com. "The development of this branding campaign is an important milestone for WhaleShark Media as we continue to see tremendous growth in our business and in the number of consumers relying on RetailMeNot every day to save money on the things they actually want to buy."
