PTAnewsroom.org Leverages Critical Media's New ClipSyndicate Premium Service, Creates National PTA Video Platform with Content from Top Video News Brands

NEW YORK, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Critical Media Inc., the leader in end-to-end digital video solutions that capture, monetize, distribute and syndicate content online, today launched ClipSyndicate™ Premium Service (http://www.clipsyndicate.com/premium). The new service was developed to enable organizations, including the online newsroom website of the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA®), to deliver highly relevant online video experiences to their constituencies in a private-labeled environment.

Unlike the ClipSyndicate ad supported service, which delivers advertisements in pre-roll and overlay format from the ClipSyndicate Ad Network and is available for free to websites, the new ClipSyndicate Premium service is an end-to-end private labeled video environment that puts the publishers in total control.  

"National PTA has a vast network and the ability to deliver fresh, highly relevant and authoritative video news to members and the press every day is core to the association's mission," said Sean Morgan, CEO of CriticalMedia. "By using ClipSyndicate Premium, not only does PTA manage the video experience, including the look and feel of the PTA Player, but also leverages the video content license agreements that ClipSyndicate has in place with more than 500 video partners including more than 400 affiliates from ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX in almost every U.S. market."

"Our decision to employ ClipSyndicate Premium advances our new media strategy," said La'Keisha Gray-Sewell, New Media Relations Strategist for National PTA. "This service enhances our very robust virtual newsroom to allow further penetration and engagement with journalists, parents, teachers, school administrators and child advocates alike. As the nation's oldest and most authoritative voice for child advocacy, it is important that we deliver relevant news and issues. ClipSyndicate Premium allows us to do so in a simple and accessible way."

ClipSyndicate Premium includes a customizable, white-labeled video player. With thousands of video news segments added to the platform everyday and an archive of more than one million clips, the ClipSyndicate syndication platform is an invaluable asset to vertical publishers interested in delivering timely, highly relevant, authoritative and comprehensive video content to their audiences.
