Explicit Media plays with big dogs

The work of a Carson Valley multimedia marketing business earned nationwide recognition when it was mentioned in the business news of Los Angeles Times on latimes.com last month.

The Real Estate Home Show, produced by Explicit Media of Gardnerville, was described as a tool used by home buyers, sellers and real estate agents on television, the Web and on iPods.

"The big newspapers are finding us," said Miles Johnson, Explicit Media founder and creative director. "The business is really taking off."

The Real Estate Home Show is a nationally televised show describing homes available throughout the United States.

Advertising campaigns can be in the form of virtual tours of properties seen as videos for Web sites, on the Multiple Listing Service or as podcasts on the likes of Google, AOL, YouTube and Yahoo video media groups.

The Real Estate Home Show can be seen on dish and cable stations, or at therealestatehomeshow.com. Explicit Media is at explicitmedia.com or 782-4990.
