Digitalsmiths, the leader in personalized video discovery technology, today announced it has been named to the Streaming Media 100, an exclusive list of companies that are doing the most interesting, innovative and important work in online video. This marks the third year in a row Digitalsmiths has been recognized by Streaming Media’s top industry acknowledgement.
Digitalsmiths has experienced record quarter over quarter and year over year growth in both revenue and customer acquisition, including leading North American, tier one Pay-TV providers. Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery and Unified Data Service has been selected by over 60% of the Pay-TV providers in the United States alone, reaching more than 60 million subscribers.
“Digitalsmiths is honored to be recognized once again by Streaming Media,” said Billy Purser, vice president of marketing for Digitalsmiths. “All of our recent customer wins, growth, and acknowledgements are a reflection of the hard work our team is putting forth to provide companies across the video space with superior personalized discovery experiences.”
In the past year, Digitalsmiths continued to enhance its award winning Seamless Discovery platform with new, innovative features. These enhancements included Digitalsmiths Unified Data Service™, which creates a single index where multiple structured and unstructured video related data sources are ingested, aggregated, reconciled and stored providing a master collection of metadata. Digitalsmiths also introduced Sports Discovery, the industry’s first product that allows consumers to easily find their favorite teams and sporting events.
“As the number of companies in our space has grown, we’ve narrowed the purview of the Streaming Media 100 to focus exclusively on what we call ‘the enablers’,” said Streaming Media editor Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen. “The companies in the Streaming Media 100 are the technology leaders and innovators that make it possible for video publishers in all verticals—entertainment, education, enterprise, and government—to get their content to their viewers efficiently and effectively, and to maximize ROI to boot.”
