?t5m did afantastic job at our recent Samsung Pink Ribbon Ball.

With aworsening economic climate and broad adoption of digital video recorders,traditional TV advertising is facing a significant challenge. Budgets are nowbeing cut, but brands must still fight to win customers in competitive globalmarkets. Brands and their agencies are looking for new cost effective ways tounderstand their users, engage them, and convert their interest into sales witha clear and measureable return on investment. The explosion in time spentwatching video on the Internet and the sheer number of sites supporting videopresents new ways to achieve this. Online branded entertainment (or ad-fundedcontent) allows brands to target their audience by the kind of content theywatch rather than where they watch it. The content is distributed with abrand's logo in the title sequence, and in some cases adjacent ad-units. It canextend to include deeper brand integration such as product placement andtagging of the content so viewers can interact with it by clicking on it.
t5m contentstudio offers brands a ?one stop shop? to create professionally produced HDcontent optimised specifically for the web; a new way to convert viewers intobrand advocates. t5m has already produced over 300 hours of video content,including 100 in-depth profiles and over 20 events, already making it one ofthe leading UKproviders of branded entertainment on the web. t5m's customised syndicationservice enables its content to reach millions of users, both online and onbroadcast TV. It includes YouTube and many of the largest sites and networks ?further details of these will be made available in future announcements.
CharlieMuirhead, Founder and CEO, comments, ?t5m works closely with brands likeSamsung to carefully develop the narrative for the content right from the onsetof production. We then ensure branded five-second title bumpers and a 20 secondpost roll, with a call to action to engage users. In February, the new versionof our video player will allow viewers to click directly on the content toenter competitions, buy products that are featured, or bookmark products ont5m.com to access later.?
