Leading News Organization ITN Extends Advertising Deal with blinkx Based on Proven Campaign Success




blinkx Selected to Power Advertising across ITN Website and Syndication Partner Sites




SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - July 2, 2008 - blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced that it has won an extension contract that will augment the scope of its advertising partnership with ITN, one of the world's leading news and multimedia content companies. Under the terms of the new agreement, ITN will use AdHoc, blinkx's patented contextual advertising platform for online TV and video, to serve advertisements on the ITN website and its syndication partner sites, including Bebo.




Through AdHoc, ITN has already been effectively monetizing its premium news content on the blinkx.com network for over six months. During this time, ITN achieved a significantly better return, greater search volume, and higher monetization through blinkx than through other syndication partners.




AdHoc uses blinkx's patented speech-to-text transcription and visual analysis technology to understand video content more thoroughly and effectively than any other service today, and can therefore dynamically place the most pertinent advertising against it. The AdHoc platform offers media companies and advertisers a unique value proposition -- video advertising which combines the emotive power of TV promotion, with the relevance and utility of contextual search advertising.




The confluence of ITN's premium TV content, blinkx's extensive syndication network, and AdHoc's uniquely powerful targeting capabilities was a formula for success. By extending its partnership with blinkx, ITN aims to achieve similar returns by leveraging the AdHoc platform to deliver contextually relevant video advertising on its own website and across its distribution partner sites.




'We're thrilled to be broadening our relationship with ITN,' said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO of blinkx. 'News content is one of the most popular categories of online video and there's clearly a tremendous opportunity for monetization. The success of our partnership with ITN is evidence that the blinkx AdHoc platform is a uniquely powerful solution for online video advertising today.'




'We've been delighted with the results of our partnership with blinkx and are looking forward to implementing the AdHoc technology on our site,' said Nicholas Wheeler, managing director, ITN On. 'blinkx AdHoc has proven that it can achieve significant monetization of our content, effective marketing for advertisers and, most importantly, a useful, non-disruptive experience for our audience.'




As a pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the most effective way to search new forms of online content such as video. With more than 350 partners and 26 million hours of indexed video and audio content, including favorite TV moments, news clips, short documentaries, music videos, video blogs and more, blinkx uses advanced speech recognition technology to deliver results that are more accurate and reliable than standard metadata-based keyword searches.

I'm all for hearing all the pros and cons,but let's face it,there are a few who only seem to have an axe to grind.It becomes a bit wearisome after a while. They carry on as though they are already in their coffin!
I reckon life deserves to be a bit more positive!

oh well, that let's me off then, as i have said exactly what i think of the company and why

Dear Dil, Hilary, Haystack, Aldwickk, ptholden, Mike Boydell, cynic et al.

I am now long BLNX so I'm not in your gang any more.

It's now Me and Batty v the world. Our new "pineapple gang" is going to kick your arses. This BB turf ain't big enough for the both of us. And my new gang has the lucky thicko as third in command - so watch this space.

Gausie

hope you didn't pay more than 71.50 then

Cynic

I did pay a little more - but am expecting this move to be a big one (which is why I reversed).

Anyway Batty's never wrong, BLINX have signed some sort of deal with samsung-ericson, theres a bloke on ADVFN who reckons BLINX is worth a billion pounds, and the daily mail reckons a quid by christmas - so my money's safe. Keep up.

if it's in the Mail, it must be solid

ChessIm certainly positivepositive were dealing with a group on severe medication

Batty - You can't resign from the pineapple gang. Nobody ever leaves alive.
