Discount Ad Brokers focuses on providing clients top tier placements at pricing levels at or below remnant inventory rate structures through a unique inventory acquisition model utilizing a combination of contracted capacity buys, alternate currencies, barter, and aggressive bulk inventory-based contracts with major US media properties.
These do not include any revenues from the parent Company ReelTime Rentals, Inc., whose financials are available at www.ottcmarkets.com and will be consolidated in future reports.
