Consumers are increasingly getting their information through online video and social media. A MultiMedia News Release with Internet Media Tour (IMT) is a comprehensive, targeted approach to promoting a campaign or initiative to the online world. IMTs are growing in popularity as a communications tool among both marketers and the media web sites and bloggers that crave online video content. Increasingly, they are being used in conjunction with a satellite media tour, to turn a press conference into a video press junket, with B-Roll or as a standalone service.

IMT distribution includes:

•Pitching websites of traditional media outlets (TV, Newspapers, Magazines, Radio)

•Pitching important web media and bloggers

•Producing and distributing a multimedia release

•Syndicating the video to 20+ viral video sites

•Providing you an embed code to easily post and share the video

•Placement on 100+ social media news sites

In addition to significantly improving your search ranking, we see pick-up of the Internet Media Tours on more than 20 viral video sites, 100 social media news sites, 500-1,000+ plus websites. IMTs deliver more than 25,000 measured views of the content. The service is affordable and can be an effective way to jump start your online initiative or provide additional support to your current campaigns.
