Discovery Norway launched a new Media Center from Clipsource this morning. The Norwegian setup is the first local deal under the new Global Framework Agreement signed by Discovery and Clipsource earlier this summer. The delivery from Clipsource includes a video-centric press room, a marcomms CMS, and tools for automated media and metadata sharing.
Discovery in Sweden, Finland and Denmark have been customers of Clipsource for many years. The new agreement with Discovery Norway means that all local Discovery channels in the Nordics can collaborate and share media and metadata seamlessly. This saves time and money.
Dan Willstrand, CEO of Clipsource, said:
“With today’s booming supply of content, discoverability is a critical success factor for media companies. And discoverability depends very much on information availability. Clipsource’s platform allows customers to deliver richer information to more parties at a lower cost. We look forward to helping Discovery amplify information sharing and increase awareness about their programs.”
Clipsource’s agreement with Discovery Norway includes:
- A system for collection and merging of data from various internal systems into one coherent metadata structure and sharing process.
- A video-centric Media Center with secure screeners, media list management, press release distribution, event management, etc.
- Tools for automated distribution of rich Schedules and VOD information to external parties.
Hanne McBride, Communications Director at Discovery Norway, said:
“Clipsource has been a trusted partner of Discovery in our other Nordic countries for a long time, and with our new Nordic structure, it is imperative that we can operate seamlessly and effectively across borders. We look forward to extending the Clipsource partnership to also include Norway.”
