  Original Content

  We use proprietary big data tools to predictively ascertain what your target audience will engage with prior to creation of content. We use these insights and our access to premium IP to build actionable strategies, create premium original programming and provide a digital ecosystem to grow and build audiences.

  Long-term, your company should be building more access to the constantly changing needs of your target audience through content. Regardless of the medium, the “spokes” can be built and removed quickly once a connection has been made. Content created for one community today can make for compelling content in the future. Pushing out to other video sites and platforms such as Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo allows for repurposing as “Top 10 Lists” or audio centric mediums later. This allows for you to take the “Cream” of the past and reconstruct it safely under your home brand.

  

  “My particular peeve is pre-roll. I hate it. What is even worse is that I know the people who are making it know that I’m going to hate it. Why do I know that? Because they tell me how long I am going to have to endure it — 30 seconds, 20 seconds, 15 seconds. You only have to watch this crap for another 10 seconds and then you are going to get to the content that you really wanted to see. That is a model of polluting content that is not sustainable.”
