Deal Brings Scalable 2,000 Person Digital Video Workforce and Innovative Platform
Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, Inc. announced today it has acquired the assets of metro-Chicago based MediaRecall Holdings, LLC, a fast growing player in the digital video services space, founded in 2007.
MediaRecall offers a cost-effective, high-speed digital video workflow process and related technologies around digitizing, clip selecting, meta-logging, and transcribing enterprise-scale video archives, enabling them to be more easily searchable and monetizable online. The company’s core expertise revolves around a highly trained North American-based 2,000 person distributed media workforce and its proprietary technologies (e.g., web-enabled digital services tools, digital video search platform, and workforce management system).
The MediaRecall business is now a part of Deluxe Digital Media and reports to Gray Ainsworth, Sr. Vice President Operations.
“Deluxe continues to look for ways to add value for content owners and provide unique services that create true partnership opportunities. MediaRecall entered the booming online video space at the right time as large content owners are trying to find more efficient ways to get their content digitized and searchable online.” Ainsworth said, “MediaRecall did a terrific job on the client projects we have done together, and this transaction was a logical next step for us.”
George Deeb, current CEO of MediaRecall, said, “Our team is very excited about deepening the relationship we have with Deluxe. We look forward to bringing our technologies into the Deluxe pipeline for film studios and television networks in addition to the non-Hollywood market.”
The business will operate under the name “MediaRecall by Deluxe” and will remain in its current metro-Chicago offices.
