itiBiti debuts NBC.com and itravel2000.com
Last night at South by Southwest, one of the world’s largest entertainment conventions in Austin, TX, Intertainment Media debuted itiBiti, its revolutionary voice powered social networking platform.
On hand were industry professionals, agencies, media and key people from Microsoft. The reaction was excellent and we’ve already made some important contacts for brand introductions (revenue) and senior executives at Microsoft’s US marketing group.
Our debut program focused on NBC.com and itravel2000.com, our first 2 programs.
NBC.com is one of the largest global broadcasters reaching over 98% of all US households, and we have negotiated a multi-year, master services agreement with NBC Universal, Inc. the parent of NBC.com. Our agreement covers all of NBCU’s properties worldwide, including all their core companies, affiliates and subsidiaries. It is estimated that NBCU’s online programs receive up to 70 million unique online visitors each month. NBC.com is our first program launch with NBCU and has been supported by the President’s office. NBC.com will be creating the NBC Communicator with itiBiti allowing users to watch NBC programming right on the desktop while talking with each other. NBC.com will be selling the ad inventory and we are already, in the test program, seeing 100% advertising inventory sell-through.
itravel2000.com is one of Canada’s leading travel brands. Over 7,000 Canadians visit itravel2000.com each and every hour and itravel2000 has a database of over 1 Million Canadian travelers. As a leading online retailer, itravel2000 was our natural choice for a Canadian launch partner. itravel2000 is an innovator and has some amazing plans for itiBiti, as they already have exceptional interest and commitments from their business partners to advertise. itravel2000 has commented that they expect to have up to 100% of the ad inventory committed.
I am now traveling to Las Vegas for MIX, Microsoft’s global conference for web solutions. I will be presenting on Wednesday at the Agency Showcase and introducing itiBiti to the online and VC community.
The prospects for itiBiti are excellent as we are already in negotiations with over 200 brands, including large international media groups, entertainment groups, agencies and sports properties.
