Blackbird and Newsbridge unify their portfolio to provide a complete cloud video production and management solution

The cloud-native services of Blackbird 和 Newsbridge will be offered in a unified way thanks to the latest agreement signed by both companies.

This joint solution will combine Blackbird’s cloud video platform, which allows users to access their media files remotely to edit and publish content across multiple platforms and channels based on their specific needs; with Newsbridge’s AI-based asset management platform, which offers a range of media valuation features: media asset collections, cloud video tools, and a content monetization display and resale portal.

Newsbridge counts among its current clients such firms as TF1 Group, AFP, FFF, M6 or Reed Midem, while Blackbird has earned the trust of Tata Communications, 电动汽车系统, BT, IMG, Deltatre, Sky News Arabia, A+E Networks or 国家冰球联盟, among others.

The right time

Philippe Petitpont, CEO of Newsbridge, believes that the collaboration between the two companies will enable their customers to optimize their processes to the maximum: “This partnership serves as a major source of opportunity for media asset managers, production teams and editors alike who are working together and require a streamlined solution to promote cross-departmental collaboration. By combining our two state of the art technologies, we’re delivering an unprecedented Multimodal Indexing AI and Video Editing solution that takes 360 media production workflows into account.”

Ian McDonough, CEO of Blackbird, underlines his partner’s words, stating that the alliance comes “very well timed“: “Their track record of innovation in reducing technical overhead and increasing efficiency in some of Europe’s biggest broadcasters as well as adding significant value to their existing media assets complements Blackbird’s mission to empower users to create, edit and enrich high quality video from anywhere.”
