NEW YORK - s4story -- SPAT Media, Inc., a technology company that is disrupting the digital content landscape by converting images into interactive, commerce-enabled assets ("SPAT"), has announced a partnership with Sterling Select Group LLC, a venture development accelerator associated with Sterling Equities.  SPAT's patent pending technology process enables the viewer to access context, content and commerce directly within an image on the page it resides. This interactivity allows creators, content marketers and publishers to drive deeper engagement with their audiences and monetize content in new ways.

"SPAT's technology has the capability to revolutionize the way humans engage with imagery, whether via traditional Web 2.0 screens or via Web3 environments, or even with holograms.  No longer will a 'reader' simply view the image and have to peruse the copy to obtain context or leave the site to access content or commerce," says Christopher J. Steele, Managing Partner of Sterling Select.

"Interactivity enables a deep, direct engagement with the viewer, and behind the technology is an adtech / martech ledger allowing for transparent and frictionless sharing of real revenues driven from the image.  This could literally disrupt the traditional model, even making banner ads obsolete," said J. Christopher Golden, partner at Sterling Select.
