InStore Audio Network

InStore Audio Network (also known as ISAN) is a retail media provider of narrowcast in-store music, in-store video content and audio advertising for delivery within supermarkets and drugstores.[1] InStore Audio Network's music programming is housed locally on a music server at each location, containing the music library, audio messages and ISAN's proprietary scheduling and delivery software.[2] This software enables each server to receive new audio ads and music playlists as often as necessary, transferred over the Internet.[3] The playlists dictate what will be played during the following week in that particular store so that every retail store can be customized with its own music and/or audio messages.[4][5] InStore Audio Network works with America's premier retailers to use audio (both music and messaging) for branding and marketing purposes in the shopping environment.
