American Express is enabling digitally minded shoppers to find inspiration, connect to fashion and products and, for American Express® Cardmembers, receive exclusive offers.

"At American Express, we are constantly using emerging technologies to create real value for our Cardmembers and give them more of what they love by delivering unique benefits to them," said Lou Paskalis, Vice President of Global Media Content Development and Mobile Marketing, American Express. "The technology that we are pioneering along with our partners is the first step in fundamentally changing the way that audiences can discover, engage with and ultimately have access to the things they see on television. The integration of commerce enablement into the television and mobile experience creates multiple contextually relevant opportunities to provide exclusive or enhanced benefits to American Express Cardmembers in the comfort of their own living rooms and in the most convenient way for them."

The media partnerships center around the broader effort that American Express is making to increase spending and drive value to customers, merchants and media partners by using content to enable discovery, social participation and ultimately commerce.
