SoMedia
Networks (TSX-V:VID) (“SoMedia,” “the Company”), the pioneer of
globally scalable cloud-based video production solutions, is pleased to
introduce SoMedia Enterprise, its large-scale video production platform.
SoMedia Enterprise is the first video production platform that offers
large digital agencies and media companies affordable access to on
demand video production services in unlimited volume anywhere in North
America.
The Company has already signed 14 partners to SoMedia Enterprise,

ability to simultaneously order, track, and deliver numerous client
video projects and video marketing campaigns. The platform allows
partners to:

Order turnkey B2B and news video production services in standardized
cost effective formats at unlimited volume

campaigns in numerous locations across North America without any video

"SoMedia Enterprise provides us with the opportunity to offer our proven
video production technology and processes to a new market - large media
and agency partners,” stated George Fleming, SoMedia’s CEO. “Demand for
video content continues to accelerate, but the production of video is
still a cumbersome, hands-on creative process. For large agencies and
media companies the lack of scalability in video production has become a
huge and expensive logistical problem. SoMedia Enterprise allows these
companies to both access our low cost, low risk production services and
simultaneously manage multiple projects across multiple locations. By
using SoMedia Enterprise, our partners can avoid the complex logistics
associated with video production, improve the turnaround time of their
projects, and decrease their associated costs by an average of 50% - all
without the need for any technical expertise.”
“We’re continuously looking to align ourselves with service providers
that offer high-quality product at the best prices. SoMedia has clearly
established itself as a provider of this caliber,” stated Stephen
McDonald, CFO at VFM
Leonardo Inc.
“We chose SoMedia as our partner for their robust solution and online
self-serve interface,” stated Paul Kraemer, Director of Strategic
Planning at DAC
Group. “SoMedia’s pricing and product provide our clients with an
affordable, convenient option for including videos in their marketing
mix.”
Through SoMedia's Scalable Video platform, video production is now a
standardized, technology-driven business product readily available to
web service providers, brands, the media, web marketing specialists, and
digital agencies. By combining cloud-based technologies, streamlined
process control, and crowdsourced workforce management systems, SoMedia
provides video production services across North America anywhere,
anytime, on demand, in unlimited volume, and at the lowest price points.
Demand for video continues to grow. comScore estimates over 85% of the
Internet audience viewed online video last month, reaching 183 million
Americans. eMarketer projects advertisers will increase video spending
in the United States by 54.7% in this year alone.
