EveryZing Delivers Enhanced Search, Discovery, and Monetization of Audio and Video Content for the Boston Market
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – September 11, 2007 – EveryZing, the world’s most powerful multimedia search and merchandising platform, announced several partnerships today with leading Boston media firms including Boston.com; Entercom radio stations WEEI, WAAF and WRKO; 890 ESPN and boston.tv. Through these agreements, EveryZing is helping Bostonians, and audiences globally that have an interest in the area, to search and discover the online audio and video content that is of most interest to them, whether it’s local sports, news, arts and entertainment, business and more.
“Entercom New England’s partnership with EveryZing has enhanced and extended our ability to offer our listeners another vehicle to interact with our products, said Ben Kulis, Entercom Boston’s digital director. ”In this age of on-demand access, the EveryZing system allows us to fulfill our listeners’ needs to have our content available whenever they want.”
For Entercom’s Boston stations WEEI, WAAF and WRKO; Boston.com, 890 ESPN and boston.tv, EveryZing is enhancing the amount of discoverable audio and video content, which in turn, increases the online consumption and value to advertisers. With the ability to search inside of multimedia content rather than just the metadata, EveryZing is enabling consumers to connect directly with the content they are interested in, no matter where it’s located within the file. For instance, if you missed the interview with Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady on WEEI and wanted to skip to the exact part of the broadcast where he discusses Randy Moss and Sunday’s game you can do so without listening to the entire show.
As each site offers unique multimedia content on various topics, these partnerships offer something for everyone. While Boston.com serves as the official site of the Boston Globe, providing audio and video on everything you need to know about New England; boston.tv provides online video entertainment on all of the hottest happenings around the city –including dining out, arts and entertainment, sports, lifestyle and business. The Entercom radio station websites add additional flavors to the mix with WEEI covering Boston sports, WAAF playing around-the-clock rock music and WRKO offering continuous talk, including interviews with Presidential candidates from both parties. 890 ESPN offers Radio Rewind for their listeners to catch up on insights and in-depth analysis of the Boston sports scene.
“Consumer demand for online multimedia content continues to grow at a dramatic pace, and Boston’s tech-savvy population is no exception,” said Tom Wilde, EveryZing’s CEO. “With our unique ability to help consumers find and consume the multimedia content that is of specific interest to them, our Boston partnerships are creating products and services that help them stand out in the market and drive their businesses forward, and we are thrilled with our continued growth in this area.”
