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.

Available to top brands and media partners, Branded Content Hubs are a new series of immersive and content-rich premium channels built on short and long form videos from recognizable and respected networks, professional sports, studios and more.

Providing a brand safe, scalable, searchable and advertiser-friendly environment, Branded Content Hubs offer premium content partners who run several networks, produce multiple video series or cover a wide variety of topics, a central hub through which to offer their entire catalog of shows or topic-specific streams. These channels will live on an entirely branded and customizable page, designed to promote the latest and greatest content from across a producer's channels through editorialized feature spaces, custom display units to advertise episodes and the partner's social media feed.

"As blinkx continues to partner with highly respected major networks and video producers, this new offering lets us seamlessly integrate them into the blinkx platform, powering our video categories and search on blinkx.com, while still maintaining each partner's distinct brand identity," said Dan Slivjanovski, SVP, Chief Marketing Officer of blinkx. "Branded Content Hubs present an engaging and unique opportunity for users, advertisers and producers alike, offering a chance for blinkx's video-viewing audience to discover more content created by the brands behind their favorite clips, and for those brands to connect with viewers through social media, promotions and more. We are very pleased to offer Branded Content Hubs alongside blinkx VideoAdvantage™, our premium syndication platform, as an exciting new way for content producers to reach their audience."

As the pioneer in video search technology, blinkx has built a reputation as the smartest way to find highly targeted, relevant rich media on the Web. The company has signed more than 1,100 partners and indexed over 35 million hours of video and audio content to date.
