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.

Of course all Blinkx announcements are intended to make you believe that they have found a cure for cancer or discovered the secret of the universe.

As cynic said above, "market underwhelmed as usual".


The deal is just the usual click through deal that is universally offered.

Yes Strawman…and of course you know all about BLNX…I’ve read your dumb ass posts to date….

BTW>>At the AGM the charts showed a cash pile of $55.9…the FD referred to the cash during his presentation as $66mil.. could have been a slip of the tongue/mistake…could be a tease?

I shouldn’t have probably said…as I don’t want Elephant Man to close his added short…lol but that would hint at a very nice November 16th…the MM’s can play about all they want….i like quality sale….and they have been very kind thus far!!

Time to go Strawman at work….toddle pip…

BTW....it's not universally offered by YouTube...lol

So the cash is worth around 13p per share. Is the business worth the other 101p. I think not.

Currently Blnx have 40+ agencies…900+ content partners…1000 brands and 3000 publishers…The company operates in the US and UK and has 235 employees split into 157 sales and marketing…62 R&D and 36 admin… Despite rocketing revenue and cash generation the company reduced headcount by 20….

BlackRock…the world's largest asset manager have also substantially increased they holding over the last month…so the worlds largest don’t get that title by making mistakes…remind me Strawman…what was your valuation? 4P…lol

Long term 0p

Yep....words from a man fucked!

Wait till the bubble bursts.

Strawman….i think you will find BLNX is a carbon bubble! How is your mate?..

I see Elephant Man added to his short on the 12 Jul 2013 17:03 - 4557 “Added to short today”….fancy adding some more?....lol…Clem says…”it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy”...Elephant continues to transfer his/mothers wealth into my accounts….long may it continue!..

To all long term investors….well done guys and girls…

i am certainly happier to see (any) sp tick along quietly with inevitable dips in preference to the rocket and stick performance of any number of aim stocks

I can’t disagree with that Cynic…

Ready for next stage up guys, chart is very bullish.

Elephant Man…..added? lol

Nice

Tabby, Have you noticed That Haystack and Gassie don't seem to have much to say at the moment.

That's because nothing has changed. A rise in the SP doesn't mean it is not a doomed business.

Lol

Think we may see 140 today, just a hunch. Mobile advertising is taking off and Blnx will be a forerunner here

BLINKX ACQUIRES GRAB MEDIA TO ACCELERATE THE DEPLOYMENT OF BLINKX VIDEOADVANTAGE(TM)

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. - 5 August, 2013 - blinkx, the Internet Media platform powered by CORE that connects consumers with advertisers through professionally generated content online, today entered into an all cash transaction with Grab Network Holdings, Inc., related to its Grab Media property (www.grab-media.com).

Grab Media is a leading online video content syndication and advertising platform. The specific assets acquired by blinkx in the transaction will enable the company to add incremental audience and augment its relationships with advertisers, publishers and content providers.

"In addition, blinkx plans to hire the existing Grab Media team - a talented, multi-faceted group with extensive experience and relationships in online video content syndication and advertising," said S. Brian Mukherjee, CEO of blinkx. "This transaction, while modest in size, enables us to meet growing consumer demand for online video, and provides us with an established platform to distribute and monetize these interactions across desktops, tablets, smartphones and connected TVs."

While the transaction will not have a material impact on the revenue or cost base in the near term, it is an important catalyst that should enable blinkx to accelerate the growth of its recently launched syndication efforts, including blinkx VideoAdvantage(TM) (BVA).

So we grabbed the assets and then hired the brains….sounds like another BLNX steal!... Watch the SP!

Elephant Man…………added?….lol
