MediaVillage Launches VirtualUpfront.com: A Network TV Upfront and NewFront Centralized Hub

As A+E Networks, AMC Networks and others announced cancellations of their upcoming Upfront events, MediaVillage announced the activation of a centralized hub for Virtual Upfront presentations and content. MediaVillage Center of Excellence is implementing several solutions for member companies that are facing the need to convert their Upfront and NewFront stories and presentations to effectively and efficiently reach and engage virtual audiences. MediaVillage solutions include:

 

  • a centralized Upfront/NewFront content hosting and information platform at www.VirtualUpfront.com
  • custom branded — on-demand and search-friendly — content archives
  • livestreaming
  • virtual lunch and learns
  • executive video conference sessions
  • webinars
  • app-based audio activation
  • on-demand Upfront presentation and content access
  • constantly updated market intelligence and usage data
  • managed earned media journalistic coverage
  • targeted invitations, promotion, content marketing

In crisis times, the media industry can be most responsible by advancing collaborative and collective actions that further the best interests of their clients. A common Upfront/NewFront interactive platform that advances a collective message and empowers individual media brands could prove to be a much more cost efficient and effective model for the future. The MediaVillage team is responding to our members' priorities; we're agile and uniquely positioned to deliver this capability.
