PeopleJam and Stream4 Media Form Exclusive Digital Content Partnership: Stream4 Media to Provide Video Programming for PeopleJam Video and
LOS ANGELES & OLD LYME, Conn. (BusinessWire EON) September 19, 2007 -- "PeopleJam is systematically partnering with the top producers of short form video targeting people who want a happy, healthy, fulfilled life," said Matt Edelman, CEO and co-founder of PeopleJam. "Stream4's programming is a key ingredient in this strategy, offering our online and mobile audiences some of the most valuable information available, presented by some of the top personalities and brands in the health and personal development fields."
Stream4 Media is bringing an unparalleled group of branded video series to PeopleJam, including planned offerings from Harvard Health Publications; Gary Vaynerchuk, the Internet's most recognizable wine expert; Minute-Clinic, the nation's largest retail healthcare center provider; Top Chef star Andrea Beaman; Joe Graedon, co-host of the long-running public radio show The People's Pharmacy; and CrossFit, arguably the world's most popular fitness website.
"Web and mobile videos are where magazines were back in the heyday of service journalism in the '70s and '80s," says Mark Cohen, a veteran magazine editor who founded Stream4 Media with Dan Carey and Jim Astrausky of Essex Television Group, Inc. "There's this huge hunger right now for quick, engaging content that helps you get in shape, eat better, or save yourself a trip to the doctor. Except now instead of reading it, you get to watch it - and watch it right there while you're standing in the gym or supermarket - and this partnership with PeopleJam is providing us with a means to reach the ideal audience for the content we are producing."
"Online and mobile media requires a totally different mindset from producing long-form documentaries for the networks - you have to grab and motivate the viewer in two minutes," says Astrausky, whose Essex documentary for Discovery HD, St. Bernard Parish - about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana - was selected as one of the Best Public Affairs documentaries of 2006 by Cable World Magazine.
Adds Carey: "Stream4 brings together a unique combination of an eye for talent, years of program development and packaging experience, the ability to achieve high production values while maintaining a low cost structure, a particular expertise in health programming, and maybe most important: capacity. We couldn't be more excited about our position in the market right now."
