GoFish Debuts Spotlight to Showcase Original Video Productions
GoFish Corporation (OTCBB:GOFH), the leading publicly traded
online video company where millions of people come to upload, share,
and watch videos, today announced the launch of Spotlight, a new
GoFish.com feature that highlights original video productions created
by talented members of the GoFish community.
Going live today, Spotlight will feature a number of original
video series available at GoFish.com including:
-- The Marty Weber Show, a comedic variety show from Weber, the
online personality who gained popularity last year as a
finalist on GoFish's online reality show America's Dream Date;
-- Snowmen Hunters, created by production group Zanzibar19, the
witty, satirical video series follows two hunters who have
pledged to keep the world's snowman population at bay;
-- Anime Music Videos (AMV's), a cultishly popular category of
video that has emerged online in which snippets of anime
scenes are set to music; and
-- The Director's Chair, GoFish member and film director Paul
Csige, provides a backstage pass to his collection of short
films, some of the best being created outside of Hollywood.
These shows demonstrate the unique strategy adopted by GoFish to
aggressively pursue and cultivate exceptional creative talent and
provide innovative ways for major advertisers to participate as
sponsors of original video content. GoFish encourages users to submit
programming ideas or video collections that can be integrated into
Spotlight. The showcased videos, along with their creators, will be
rotated regularly as new users and their original content are added.
Spotlight is one of GoFish's content development projects, which
to date have included the creation of branded entertainment programs
such as America's Dream Date(TM) and Artist Voices(TM). While
America's Dream Date motivated users to submit videos as part of a
contest and Artist Voices encourages interaction between celebrities
and fans using user-generated videos, Spotlight is designed to attract
high quality online video producers, empower these producers to build
significant audiences, and bridge the gap between advertisers and
these new artists.
"The popularity of online video has given rise to a new breed of
creative, non-professional video producer, and GoFish is committed to
providing this group with the tools, resources and market momentum to
build real entertainment franchises," said Michael Downing, CEO of
GoFish. "With Spotlight, we are looking to single out and call
attention to some of the properties that we believe have the ability
to develop significant audiences and generate very real and tangible
revenues for their creators."
The company also announced today that recent traffic growth has
reached new heights, with a 274% increase in U.S. unique visitors from
November to December, according to Comscore Media Metrix.
