We have just received some excellent PR with Bebo’s recent announcement that it has launched local language versions of its Social Network platform in all major European languages. In some instances our local language film trailer channels have even made it to the front page.
Since the recent launch we have been stumbling across articles all over the Internet that mention the new service … and the fact that Filmtrailer.com (owned by Preview Networks) is a preferred and promoted content partner. This was really great to see and the result of hard work by the team in developing, promoting and nourishing these channels with content. Here are some of the articles:
Yes! It has happened! Filmtrailer.com got an all slick-looking, video-playing, fan-attracting Bebo film trailer channel!
Bebo is one of the biggest social networks in the world with over 80 million users, and we wanted to figure out a good way to get film trailers to them – the solutions was to be a part of Bebo’s Open Media platform. As it turns out Bebo is very video feed friendly, and unlike let’s say Facebook, it is not hard for a content provider like us to become a partner with Bebo and start attracting fans to our film trailer channel. We just uploaded an MRSS feed to them and voila it was up and running. Then we did some design changes to make it look as good as we could for the young and trend-conscious Bebo audience and we are now ready to become overwhelmed with Bebo love. We are actually the only channel dedicated to delivering film trailers to Bebo, and we have already had 1 luv, 35 fans and some comments about, of course, Twilight (it’s going to be a big big big teen film).
A big extra bonus is also of course that Bebo’s international strategy fits like a hand-in-glove with Play Networks’ as we can provide them local-language film trailers for the local-language Bebo sites in Italy, Germany, Holland, and soon Spain and France. Each country have its own filmtrailer.com Bebo channel and we expecting them to be really really popular in these countries as local-language trailers aren’t always easy to come by in such a good-looking package.
So now all you have to do is check us out at:
