We all know it’s important that we upload video content on a regular basis because it helps us build momentum, increases our videos’ ranking in search, and keeps our audience engaged. But sometimes keeping up with a regular schedule is just too difficult because our content requires high production value that’s unreasonable to pull off on a weekly basis. Other times it’s just because we don’t have any more ideas for video content

Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback took to the Rev3 blog this morning and announced a 359% increase in total views and a 53% increase in revenue for the year of 2011.  Revision3 made smart acquisitions last year, including the extraordinarily successful Epic Meal Time , and by the end of the year, picked up one of YouTube’s all-time hits, The Philip DeFranco Show , which should make 2012 even better.  Rev3 also increased its YouTube subscribers across all shows to 4.5 million.  In addition to the audience and revenue, Rev3 is proud of their technological advancements over the year. Revision3 Saw Growth, Focused On Mobile In 2011 Rev3 saw 800 million views in 2011.  But the other big focus for the company was changing to an HTML5 player across all platforms.  HTML5 is far less stressful on mobile devices and led to Adobe abandoning Flash on mobile.  So Rev3 went that route, and they have an Android app that works across phones, tablets, and Google TV

Some time ago I wrote about Vid.ly – one upload, universal URL, fire and forget sort of encoding service where you could upload video, grab one single URL and it would work just about anywhere. Today, they’re announcing that everything Vid.ly offers will be directly integrated into Encoding.com for a simple workflow from uploading to delivery. To go along with that they are also talking today about the Future-Proof Video program that offers automatic preparation of Vid.ly videos for new formats/devices as they enter the market

Katalyst Media was founded by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg in 2000.  It began as a simple film/TV development home; Kutcher’s Guess Who and the company’s most recognizable property, Punk’d , were produced under Katalyst.  In 2005, they added a social media division, and what they specialize in is a form of branded content, the kind for which we’ve praised Red Bull and GoPro recently.  Their work with brands like Nikon and Mountain Dew, and being considered a leader in the field of social media, led to Google offering them one of the 100 YouTube original channels, Thrash Lab , which is targeting a Spring launch. I had some questions prepared for Katalyst Media president, Anthony Batt, but once he started giving me background on the company and what they do, I almost didn’t need to ask them.  It’s clear that Katalyst is serious about making content for brands that eschew traditional advertising methods, that a story comes first before the brand name.  Batt has even moved on from the term, “branded content,” because it’s “too on the nose.”  He thinks of “branded content” as something from the nineties, that what we’re focusing on now is “amazing content,” something that a brand creates for a target audience that is compelling first and foremost.  The brand, meanwhile, gets rewarded for being associated with that content, depending on if they’re reaching the right audience.
