By integrating an imperceptible Digimarc code into the property photos of over 27 million magazines in 151 markets, NewPoint Media is creating a new print-to-digital experience for both home shoppers and real estate agents and brokers. Over the past year, NewPoint Media has transformed *Homes & Land* into a digitally savvy real estate resource, creating a new print-to-digital platform for its franchisees across the United States and Canada. The new Homes & Land app, which leverages Digimarc’s Mobile software development kit (SDK), lets consumers scan any image in the print publication – in this case, a property listing or agent photo – and experience a simplified home search with instant access to all property and agent details. There is no data collected when users scan, so consumers are free to engage privately and contact the featured agent at their leisure. This is different from current home search apps, because it creates a private search experience for the consumer while creating a closed-loop experience for agents and brokers linking the property details exclusively to the specific listing agent. “Buying a home is a very personal experience for consumers, but the ‘hunt’ can be a long, arduous process,” said Tammy McCarty, CMO, NewPoint Media. “By using the Digimarc Platform in *Homes & Land*, we’re digitally enhancing the search for real estate, all without losing that personalized and direct experience for home buyers, ultimately creating a more trusted agent-buyer experience.” Historically, the real estate industry has been a one-to-one experience between buyer and agent. But in recent years the old ways of home buying have shifted to accommodate a more automated, depersonalized approach. NewPoint Media is countering this trend by adding a Digimarc code and linking house photos to a specific agent. “The Digimarc Platform gives publishers, such as NewPoint Media, the ability to reach their target audiences with engaging digital experiences,” said Brian, O’Sullivan, VP, Sales & Business Development, Digimarc Corporation. “This is a critical next step in linking the physical and online worlds. With virtually no impact to the overall layout or aesthetics of the printed page, Digimarc makes it easy for house shoppers to digitally link to the properties they want.” To learn more about the Digimarc Platform for magazines, retail catalogues and other commercial print, click [here](https://www.digimarc.com/products/digimarc-barcode/commercial-print). **About Digimarc** Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC) is a pioneer in the automatic identification of everyday objects such as product packaging and virtually any media, including print, images and audio.
