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.

Here is an interesting point here concerning these revenue figures. A glance at the chart from 2 years back show the SP at about the 90 level. It then shot up to 150 plus.
The current expectations of between £180 - 185 million is nearly 200% more than the 2010-2011 revenue of £66.1 million. Yet the price is still LOWER than 2 years ago.

I think it is reasonable to expect the sp to increase to £1.10/1.20 within the next 12 months. Could go higher of course!

chess - that's because the company and it's sp were heavily over-hyped 2 years ago

Yes, there is certainly something to that, but the growth rate is impressive. The key issue has to be that the prospects look great .

“over-hyped 2 years ago” - We are a young Company approaching $200m in revenue and are profitable…debt free and have a growing cash pile… we have achieved this during a double-dip recession…word on the street….soon to be a triple-dip…

The full integration of PVMG and Burst ahead of schedule and the continued strong growth of the sector which BLNX have continually outperformed….that wants some doing in the hottest sector around at the moment…Powered by CORE the world's most advanced video engine…and billed as the world's largest video search engine…

We have every reason to be hyped up!…you put whatever figure you wish on this World beater…the potential is as good as any other giants of the past…you can earn your !0%….I will claim the jackpot! Chess..you are nearer the mark!

2 years ago, the market deemed otherwise - and the market was correct at that time

its the bottom line that the market is waiting for.

wot ho old bean! .... didn't expect to see you here ..... blnx now seems to have a proper "bottom line" - which it didn't 2 years ago - and hence the renewed strong interest

cynic yes you are right but only a tiny bottom compared to t/o.

Cynic…"2 years ago, the market deemed otherwise" ...your view of the market is a little different to mine…have you missed the actions of the city over the last four years?... Barclay’s/Abu Dhabi…avoiding tax scams..libor…rogue trading…UBS’s £1.4bn loss…interest rate swap mis-selling…the City’s reputation as the centre of global finance has continually come under threat…if there is trading disaster it happens in London…wake up….the blnx SP has been consistently manipulated by failed trades and churning…look at the stock out on loan…minimal….look how institutional position have changed…minimal….no sell-off registered…Cynic…live up to your name!

for goodness sake tabby, how can you be in such gross denial, though i confess i should have written "just over a year ago" and not 2? ..... skinny's chart on post 4312 shows it in all its gory detail ..... even now, after a terrific surging run, sp is little more than half of the peak - i.e. at the peak, sp was then severely over-hyped ..... where sp deserves to be now, is anyone's guess, but at this juncture, i would hazard at perhaps 100-110, but that is just gut feel rather than logic or knowledge or research (moi, research?)

Cyners…can I call you sinners…let us agree to differ…

I don’t think you fully understand how it works.. "how can you be in such gross denial" but I’ll be in whatever you want me to be in? …………When I get thumbs up I will post a little something that might interest you….you might even agree with me….lol

i often agree with you tabby, even if i often tease too ...... clever tabby would have banked big lumps of profit 12/18 months ago and then (perhaps) have come back in again say 4 months ago

Tabby is clever!

Hi tabby , just skim read the thread but didn't you previously blame Goldman Sachs 250p price target for the unrealistic rise and subsequent fall ?

Still a pile of shite imo but unlike you and your alter ego i am prepared to buy shite when it goes up and short it when it goes down.

Wasn't as lucky as you with MDX though , I made money :-)

Toodle pip , regards to your sockless hero.

good time to go short on blinx imo.,.

so have you?

Dil…your first line is correct…but it is not a good idea to post at 2:09 in the morning and pissed…you just make an arse of yourself…I know……I have done it myself….

Toodle pip old bean…..

Cynic….Balerboys post was to wind me up lol he has far too much sense to throw his money away…Cyners…you wont get an answer to your question let alone the value of his imaginary bet.

BB's an ok chap; we meet for a pint on rare occasions when i am in his neck of the woods
