• To better understand where we are going, it helps to know where we came from. This presentation investigates when OTT video services began to emerge, and the market landscape that made it happen.

• This is our second video created by Visual Unity Global, for NAB’14. Our marketing strategy was to communicate the strong end-to-end capabilities of our vuMedia™ OTT platform. The video was produced in collaboration with Striker Pictures – an amazing young start-up, based out of the Czech Republic. In just four short weeks we developed the messaging strategy, storyboard, narrative, and final animation. Striker Pictures delivered an amazing and beautiful product within a very aggressive timescale! Thanks again, guys 🙂
Also, great job to our marketing team in putting this together, and for our stellar exhibition presence. We even managed to exceeded our marketing goals by 96%!

This option is a robust recommendation engine integrated within vuMedia™, helping content owners and distributors to enhance their revenue streams through search & discovery.

“Visual Unity’s unique blend of broadcast and online video skills, coupled with proven experience in web and mobile delivery, is a crucial advantage to providing robust end-to-end digital video solutions,” says Tomas Petru, CEO of Visual Unity. “Visual Unity streamlines the integration of new multiscreen workflows into existing linear processes so that content can be efficiently delivered over the Internet or to any combination of mobile, tablets, laptops, or Smart TVs.”
