Fuelcast + Bhootan = Outcast

There’s been some interesting discussions on naming here both before the merger and after BUT at least they don’t have ‘TV’ anywhere in their name!!!

Seriously, here we see Fuelcast, an at pump digital network and Bhootan, a retail digital play merger to form a new business called Outcast [1]

These folks now claim to have a monthly reach of over 25 million consumers in over 900 locations in the US. via 6,000 screens.

Their press release makes mention of the following sort of location…

John McLean, CEO of Fuelcast, who will become chairman of Outcast told us “With this merger, Outcast leads the consolidation of a fragmented digital out of home market, significantly increasing our reach and making it easier than ever to execute a comprehensive out of home buy,” said McLean. “The merger will allow us to continue to expand our leadership position by accelerating growth into new markets and distribution partners.”

Matthew Stoudt, co-founder and CEO of Bhootan, will become CEO and Nathan Gill, co-founder and president of Bhootan will become chief media officer.
