“Ruptly Live” enables online, broadcast and individual media publishers access to live events produced by the multimedia news agency. The innovative platform allows up to nine events to be distributed simultaneously to multiple destinations. Ruptly is the first b2b news agency to offer 360-degree and drone live video direct to client social media pages. Launched in October 2017, the live platform challenges seven other projects for the title of “Technical Innovation of the Year”. Other nominations in this category include projects by Facebook, CNN.com and Telegraph Media Group.
Ruptly’s efforts in business development are recognized by the Drum Online Media Awards’ esteemed panel of judges in the category of “Commercial Team of the Year”. As of today over a thousand media brands in 89 countries are sourcing video content from the five-year-old agency,
Speaking at the NAB Live Show in Las Vegas last week, Chief Executive Officer Dinara Toktosunova emphasized the importance of the nominations.
“This means a lot to us”, she said. “We are all having fun, we are very enthusiastic and we love our jobs. It is very important for us to be recognised as a creative young team”.
Chief Commercial Officer, Matthew Tabaccos, added that Ruptly is able to provide a service not only to big broadcasters, but also to fuel the output of new voices that don’t necessarily have the “cash to spend”. “We are keen to be able to scale a global agency in a collaborative process” he said. “ This is the only way to offset what is the revenue problem these days in online media, particularly with news”.
The winners of the Drum Online Media Awards will be announced on May 22 in London.
