Tradeclips launches to solve digital content headache for newsmakers and businesses

‘YouTube for business’ service launched by founders of Newslink to store, manage, publish and syndicate digital media content

London, 19 October 2009 – Tradeclips, the world’s first full-service video, audio, text and picture media sharing site for the communications industries, has been launched. Developed by the owners of Newslink, Tradeclips offers the media and digital content community a simple, secure and cost effective way to store, manage, publish and syndicate all types of digital media files - at a fraction of the cost of traditional providers.

The service will officially be launched at an exclusive party at the newly re-furbished London Aquarium on 19th November 2009. To enquire about invitations, register here http://www.tradeclips.com/launch

The launch of Tradeclips responds directly to the rapid growth of digital media content in the enterprise space.  For a range of agencies, from online news to digital, photo, video and PR, the need to manage digital assets, both picture and video, has become a costly and logistical headache. Gartner’s 2008 survey stated that only about half of enterprises have digital asset management (DAM) products currently in place and that about 25% intended, at the time, to add it in the near term (before the end of 2009)*.

Tradeclips is a natural extension to the Newslink service which for more than 20 years has delivered written content directly and securely to the desktops of the national news media outlets.

Tradeclips features include:

-      Fast, secure upload of all digital media files, including video, audio, text, photo and support for all Microsoft Office documents

-      Constant communications stream into news decision makers via Tradeclips’ own media relationships; an established database of every major UK news outlet

-      Monthly hosting payment with no upload or download charges – providing potentially huge cost savings to users

-      Distribution of multiple media files via Tradeclips’ unique ‘Packages’ service, which enables users to link related media files for ease of viewing by recipients

-      Syndication of material to existing and new contacts at the click of a button

Tradeclips’ CEO, James Powell-Tuck said: “Whether you consume or create digital content, the explosion in images and video cannot have gone unnoticed in recent years. The rich experience of online news which uses video, images and text is now common, but managing this content is increasingly causing businesses logistical and financial headaches.”

Adding: “If you create digital content, Tradeclips is an excellent store-front which can help you monetise your asset with a ready-made national media audience.  If you use digital images and video, Tradeclips will quickly become the one stop shop to source high-quality digital media content.”
