NEW YORK, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ — ID Media, the largest direct response and digital media services company in the country, has been selected to manage direct response and promotional media for Round Table Pizza, a West Coast “institution” recognized for premium quality pizza and menu innovation. The multi-million dollar account will be handled out of ID Media’s Los Angeles office starting in December 2007 and will involve 140 company-owned restaurants.

Round Table Pizza’s target consumers include time-stretched families looking for a dining option the whole family can agree upon.
To support the company’s marketing strategies, ID Media will use a blend of highly targeted promotional media tactics including newspaper, shared mail and direct mail to reach the family target, as well as impactful print positions and formats to highlight the menu options and quality to satisfy that family’s diverse preferences.
