2009-03-23 22:13:27 - Innovative video press releases will allow the addition of webcasting features to company announcements. The full PR solution includes writing, filming and distribution of press releases, accompanied by promotion on social networks and the deployment of guerrilla marketing tactics.

Jerusalem, Israel -- Interteam Content Services, a provider of quality written content for web sites; ARPU~UP, a provider of online marketing strategy consulting services; and SidEffect, a post production house for TV commercials, screen design and corporate videos, have joined forces to offer rich-media press releases.

The new service will allow companies, corporations and large organizations to submit press releases that include webcasting, webinars, video and audio, making it easier for them to deliver their marketing messages. Such announcements can contain a statement by the CEO, feature a new product or demonstrate a unique service.

The new alliance offers a solution that guarantees that the press release is well written, visually attractive and targeted at the right audience. The release

will be viable on major news search engines such as Google News, Yahoo News and Topix, and will be distributed to leading bloggers who cover the specific industry in which the client is active.

Such a PR campaign will include guerrilla marketing, the usage of social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter in order to increase visibility and grow Web traffic.

“Well written press releases that include rich media have a much better chance of being read by the targeted audience,” said Dan Gerstenfeld, CEO of Interteam Content Services. “By offering a package that includes written and filmed features, we can assure that the message is delivered in a cost efficient manner, allowing clients to increase return on investment at times when budgets are tight.”

“The move is in line with the global shift in online PR and the move to social media marketing,” said Boaz Babai, ARPU~UP’s CEO. “Search engines are now ranking higher content that includes video. By providing this service, we expose our customers to a large audience that will easily find them on leading search engines and popular Internet venues such as YouTube.”

“By using cutting edge video technology we can significantly improve the content’s value in order to ensure that our press releases will stand out,” said Ilan Weissman, SidEffect’s CEO. “With our team members’ expertise in the different aspects of social media, we can offer a one of a kind solution.”
