InterFrench members get benefits from their commute time with DrivAd
SUNNYVALE, CA; September 29, 2005

InterFrench, the largest French-speaking professional network of Silicon Valley, has reached an agreement with automobile-based advertising innovator DrivAd to utilize DrivAd's extensive partner network to provide benefits to InterFrench members and to help promote DrivAd within the French-speaking community.

Primarily, the goal of the collaboration is to involve the French driving community in advertising campaigns for French businesses located in the Bay Area and throughout the US market. French business owners will have the opportunity to launch a DrivAd advertising campaign to promote their business via enrolled drivers, including a network of French drivers from InterFrench.

InterFrench will promote the DrivAd program within its network of about 12,000 subscribers and encourage members to become involved in a DrivAd advertising campaign. Participating drivers will carry see-thru advertising decals on the rear windows of their personal automobiles while driving as usual. As an incentive for participation, drivers will receive rewards, such as free dinners at prestigious French restaurants, VIP passes to wineries, gift certificates to French bakeries, and other offers.

This mutually beneficial partnership also includes the promotion of the InterFrench Benefits Card, providing valuable discounts and advantages to members. Leveraging DrivAd's existing partners provides the opportunity to increase the current benefits offered to Benefits Card holders.

"We are pleased to be working with DrivAd to provide benefits for our members, the DrivAd concept is original and this is a fantastic idea that will benefit our community" says Ale Gicqueau, InterFrench president. "French drivers appreciate the opportunity to promote French businesses, and get rewarded for something they got no value before: commuting! With DrivAd, even traffic jams do not seem as dreadful."

"I think this is a tremendous opportunity to reach out to the French-speaking community and demonstrate the benefits that can be provided by getting involved with DrivAd as either a driver or an advertiser," said French entrepreneur Olivier Baudoux, DrivAd founder and CEO.
