XLNTads Building Off of Early Successes, Promises to Change the Landscape of CGA
Wynnewood, PA – September 2, 2008 – Today, XLNTads announced strong momentum and increasing strength of its creator base for delivering high quality video content to brand-sponsored assignments. Since XLNTads’ official launch in January 2008, over 6,500 semi-professional videographers and freelance content creators have joined the network to connect with major brands, showcase their work and meet and collaborate with their peers. To date, brands like Slim*Fast, Nestle, New Line Cinema and Anheuser Busch have purchased a combined 37 videos from XLNTads creators, who in turn have received cash awards. Several of XLNTads’ top creators have taken home multiple prizes in addition to local and online recognition. Many of XLNTads’ creators collaborate to submit work as small boutique creative agencies, such as the people at Green Sky Media who consistently put out fine work. So far, Green Sky Media has earned money from two Webisode assignments and had their video for “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo” purchased by New Line Cinema. Said Chris Thornberry, producer at Green Sky Media, “XLNTads has been more than a creative outlet for us. It has allowed us to extend our high-definition video production and photography business, expand our portfolios and get in front of some big brands. Getting paid for our work is the icing on the cake!” Due to the strength and enormous talent of its creator base, XLNTads is developing a ground-breaking community network with even more ways for creators to share ideas, collaborate on projects and get their work in front of major brands. XLNTads plans to unveil the community network in early Fall 2008. To see a sampling of the creator community’s video projects, visit: http://www.xlntads.com/gallery.
