WatchMojo Extends Multi-Platform Reach by Accelerating Over-The-Top Distribution on Connected Devices

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

If 2011 was the year of the iPad, 2012 is shaping up to be the year of over-the-top (or OTT) Internet-connected devices. According to the GSMA, a worldwide association of mobile operators and related companies, of devices launched at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES): more than 90 percent of TVs, 70 percent of automotive devices, 44 percent of healthcare devices and 30 percent of cameras were connected.

There are nine billion connected devices today. Cisco predicts the number of connected devices will reach 15 billion by 2015 and the GSMA predicts there will be 24 billion connected devices in the world by 2020.

Its not just gadgets anymore: home lifestyle products including smart refrigerators and Internet-connected washers and dryers, or retail products such as vending machines will become connected, as well. GSMA estimates connected devices will be a US$ 1.2 trillion market by 2020, driven in large part by robust growth in the automotive sector. The percentage of connected vehicles is expected to rise from just one percent of the worlds 1.8 billion road vehicles today to 14 percent by 2020.

While televisions long-form programming has historically dominated its lean back experience, the rise of new connected devices will increasingly reach consumers at all times during the day. WatchMojo as a video content producer is betting that its massive catalog of seven thousand short-form videos, ranging in length from one to five minutes, will prove to be a perfect match in the chaotic media landscape of the 21st century, where new distribution platforms and content creation tools have led to an explosion of media choices and clutter for consumers.

In fact, WatchMojo has been on OTT platforms like Boxee since 2009, and in 2011 the company partnered with adRise to add new applications.

“Providing distribution and TV-like monetization across the top connected TV platforms is exactly what we offer our content partners. Companies such as WatchMojo have a tremendous opportunity to take advantage of this rapidly growing market.” Farhad Massoudi, CEO of adRise.
