New York, NY, October 25, 2012 - Film Annex announces the launch of Target Marketing Annex, a real-time target marketing and Thought Leadership platform that allows clients and partners to market themselves to very specific groups of influencers, investors, stakeholders, and sales prospects. TMA creates an Organic Following with and for its clients. Target Marketing Annex has developed the Your Buzz technology platform as a perfect complement to FilmAnnex.com’s traffic and distribution.
With 40,000+ films, 30 million daily video views, and 20 million monthly unique visitors, Film Annex ranks in the Top 100 trafficked websites in the USA and is a Top 3 video platform. Target Marketing Annex builds Buzz for its clients in four steps: Content creation, distribution, identifying key influencers, and approaching those influencers. For the initial step, Film Annex’s production team creates videos tailored to the client’s needs. The video can be an interview, a promo, or a short film. Film Annex makes this content available to its viewers and increases the client’s exposure significantly.
In addition to producing, promoting, and distributing video content, Target Marketing Annex creates written content to boost the visibility and reach of its clients. Currently, TMA’s blogging platform consists of 3800+ professional bloggers whose posts appear on the following platforms: Target Marketing Annex website, The Annex Press (Film Annex’s professional blogger platform), Daily Dose Equities (a platform focusing on Wall Street style research in the Biomedical, Healthcare, and Biotechnology markets), and OutsideIn Research(a platform focusing on emerging growth companies). TMA makes the blog content available also on a number of independent industry specific sites.
Target distribution is a big factor in creating Buzz as it brings clients together with their target audience. TMA’s target distribution is made possible through wide distribution via the Film Annex platform and its videos, as well as narrow distribution via long tail keywords that are ranked by TMA’s proprietary algorithm. Target distribution enables clients to find their audience and get to know their followers. “I really believe that this is the way that small companies should market themselves. They need to find target audiences that really care about what they want to do. Everything is an algorithm, and now we’re able to pull in influencers and followers that really care about your company,” said TMA Partner, Michael Sweeney to further explain the significance of target distribution.
