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.

blinkx partners with Penske Media

Video search engine blinkx has announced a partnership with Penske Media Corporation.

blinkx says PMC is a leading digital media company with a unique and growing portfolio of media brands that provide original content in categories including entertainment, lifestyle, beauty, and technology.

Under the terms of the agreement, blinkx will offer a number of PMC Studios channels such as 'Beyond the Trailer', which gives users the inside track on Hollywood's hottest movies and trailers, as well as audience movie reviews.

blinkx will place contextually relevant advertising against these videos.

I've just seen this little snippet:
'The video search engine company rose on Tuesday amid speculative buying on revived talk of a possible bid from Google, according to the Daily Mail market report.'

as i have said before, it is hard to imagine why BLNX would be of any interest whatsoever to GOOG ..... this rumour has been around several times before - a good way to puff the price

A bit of puff is always helpful though, so I'm not complaining

Toya…imo trader talk…the slightest truth in that rumor and we would have been back to the 150p+…the stock has been messed about with for some time!........ stock still on loan 4.49%...

Goldman Sachs initiated a ridiculous 250p tag on Sep 26, 2011 before ripping the company to pieces two months later…classic Goldman... they are closely connected to those that are now short…

Ending to the story will be simple…..trust me I’m very lucky!!! £££££££££

I know tabby - these stories surface every so often, and it matters not to me since I am sticking with these in any case - have done for years!

Cynic…I can imagine a whole host of big boys wanting BLNX… the clue is… BLNX internet media platform powered by CORE is unique and the world's most advanced video engine…we are also playing in the hottest sector…and we are the best!!!...i trust that is enough of a clue?

that has been the so-called story for the last 2/3/4 years, but no one has even been to sniff .... of course it may come to pass in the fullness of time, but it's a lousy reason to invest

btw and to remind you, i am actually a holder!

Cynic…big boys start off as small boys…I think you could probably name a few of these big boys that never got a sniff in their infancy? hmmmmm? Btw…I know you are a holder….well done….but you do get itchy feet very easily….

not really, but i certainly warn people off buying on stupid t/o stories

Me too!

F Y results should be out next month I believe. Has anybody seen what is expected ?

last IMS 12/2/13 very positive.

Chess…the trading update gave revenue for the full year in the range of $180M to $185M…I would image to be around top end or fractionally better…

We will probably know on the 18th May…I have a feeling in my wine there will be another good announcement…management have been very bullish over this last six months…
