Salute to StarTube

A salute to Star 92.1 StarTube and their “Military Greetings” video program.  Star 92.1 is located in Myrtle Beach and broadcasts to the South Carolina coastline communities.   Star 92.1 presents Military Christmas Greetings with video messages from local citizens serving in Iraq.  The greetings are heartwarming and the images of military service are a reminder of how much these men and women work protect their country.

Build traffic and help sell a new program

Use CELLit media tools to boost your web traffic, the value of your banner ads, and select the station’s Top 10 Events of 2008.

You have pictures!  Collect pictures from and post the pictures on your CELLit hosted media pages.  Make the titles descriptive, add them to a channel called “Best of 2008”.  Then let your audience view, vote, comment on the best events.  As you get to New Year’s Eve, lock the channel and select the Top-10 and the Top Event for the Year.

Get one of the sales representatives to sell an event sponsor … perhaps a 468×60 banner, one-slot on the CELLit Talent Bar, and an on-air mention.  Of course, the sponsor could also run on-air spots and tag the spot with an event mention.

Possible sponsors:  Fitness Clubs, New Year’s Club Events, holiday party suppliers

CELLit moves into the Clouds

December 5, 2008 – CELLit successfully completed a full transition into the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2).  Our hosted video application, full email/cell phone communications support,  and robust video processing tools now reside on the Amazon EC2 platform.   Hosted videos and pictures are stored on the Amazon Simple Storage System (S3) with full support of the Amazon Simple Queuing System (SQS).   For web managers that want to know more check out http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/

For media website program managers, promotion directors, sales managers, and leadership teams, the new CELLit support dynamically scales to deliver your audience’s most viral videos and pictures.

CELLit offers a complete suite of video and picture tools for media websites.  Media sites can start using the tools in as little as one-day.  The hosted pages include your logo and match your website’s look & feel.  Your audience videos carry your logo watermark.  Dynamic widgets present the most recent, most popular, and highest rated videos on your home page for continuously updated dynamic content.  CELLit Media Services provides contest tools that expand and manage the most engaging topics.  Shared advertising support helps build competitive sales programs for your sponsors.

CELLit Media Services are free to media websites and include shared advertising to support your clients, your company, and CELLit.  

Local Music Scene

Enhance your radio station’s website with the Local Music Scene.

Most local bands produce their own videos for their FaceBook and MySpace pages.  They are always looking for ways to create more exposure.   

Here’s the process.  Deliver on-air requests for local band videos.  Let them upload the videos to your CELLit hosted video page. As your on-air personalities talk about the local music scene they can mention that station’s video page has the latest video from each group they talked about.

Set up a CELLit hosted channel Local Music Scene to make it easy for listeners to navigate. You can build a video library of the local music artists. Your stations’ Local Music Scene becomes another place to see favorite local musicians and discover new bands. It can also become a great sponsorship venue.  What a great opportunity for clients to link themselves with your station and local/regional music.  

Obvious partners would be a beer/beverage sponsor, live music venues, and electronics/music retailers
