NTV360, the flagship franchise of Evergreen Digital Media Corp. (EDM), has once again secured its place on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list—an annual ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies. It’s the third time EDM has earned the distinction, joining the ranks of past honorees like Microsoft, Meta, and Chobani.
“This milestone reflects the unwavering dedication of our talented staff,” said Don Winfrey, CEO of EDM. “With NTV360, we’re delivering innovative retail media solutions that empower local entrepreneurs and scale success across North America.”
Reinventing Retail Media Franchising
EDM operates a network that blends digital signage technology, curated content, and turnkey operational support for more than 150 affiliates across the U.S. and Canada. These affiliates range from small business owners to telecom providers, all tapping into EDM’s model to deploy on-premise retail media in high-traffic locations.
The formula is straightforward but potent:
- Turnkey solutions mean affiliates can launch quickly without building infrastructure from scratch.
- Precision content curation keeps displays relevant and engaging.
- Scalable frameworks allow rapid expansion into new markets.
It’s a model designed to outpace static advertising by delivering immersive, dynamic experiences—while creating measurable impact for both brands and communities.
Why It Matters for AdTech
Retail media networks have surged in value as advertisers seek new ways to connect with shoppers beyond traditional e-commerce platforms. NTV360’s growth underscores the demand for localized, in-store digital engagement that combines brand reach with community relevance.
By fusing franchise scalability with retail media innovation, EDM is positioning itself in the sweet spot between adtech agility and brick-and-mortar impact—a space that’s increasingly attractive to marketers seeking high-ROI channels.
