|
|
| |
We are happy to announce the launch of our new website. The site gives visitors an in-depth look at the company and our array of services, and demonstrates the extent to which web distribution, new media and social sharing have been incorporated into NBN’s core production and distribution services (for an example of this, skip down to the Microsoft Xbox project).
We hope you’ll take a moment to check out the new site.

Q1 2011 success rates
|
|
| |
NBN’s Q1 2011 SMT and B-roll success rates are on pace to reach an all time high.
Of the 27 satellite media tours executed in the first quarter of 2011, 87% exceeded 500K earned TV impressions, and 70% yielded over 1.5 million earned TV impressions.
And the good news extends to B-roll distribution, with 80% of NBN-distributed B-roll achieved at least 1 million or more earned TV impressions, and 60% over 5 million.
The truly astounding stat is the number of B-roll projects that exceeded 10 million or more earned TV impressions... More

Noteworthy projects
|
|
| |
We've been hard at work supporting our clients' broadcast and new media outreach -- here are three terrific projects from June.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Microsoft Xbox
|
|
| |
Once again this year, NBN worked with Microsoft to produce and distribute footage of their events at E3. Microsoft kicked off the convention with the announcement of their newest voice search technology using the power of Bing on Kinect for Xbox 360.
NBN assisted in building, scoping and testing two on-site Final Cut edit suites, and provided production services, including camera crews and editors, for two quick-turnaround b-roll releases. We also oversaw international distribution via Reuters to 112 countries, and executed an SMT with Xbox Ambassador Molly O’Donnell.
The videos were also posted to a custom NewsInfusion.com EPK in broadcast quality formats, including PAL, for the international media.
Within hours of going live, the EPK had thousands of views and video downloads.

IBM turns 100
|
|
| |
It's rare to last 100 years in any business, but to last 100 years in the technology business is nearly impossible. IBM officially pulled off the impossible on June 16th when the company celebrated its 100th birthday.
NBN distributed a B-roll package chronicling 100 years of break-through innovations, from the creation of the Social Security System and putting a man on the moon, to Watson, the super computer that won Jeopardy!
NBN’s media relations team pitched the story to newsrooms and specialty editors, and ensured stations had everything they needed to produce a great story. The video package made several domestic and international newsfeeds, and was featured on newscasts in nearly every US market.
The NewsInfusion.com EPK, which contained the campaign assets, was heavily trafficked by the media, achieving nearly one thousand views and video downloads.

Shape Magazine co-op SMT
|
|
| |
Last month’s Summer Beauty Essentials SMT is a shining example of the strength of NBN’s editorially driven co-ops.
Shape Magazine’s Beauty Director Ellen Miller shared her insight on the top trends and best buys for feeling and looking beautiful all summer long.
The tour received great broadcast buzz, and the NewsInfusion.com EPK was shared heavily on Twitter. The effort delivered 25 interviews and over 850 TV and radio broadcasts, for a total of 6.7 million impressions.
