IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 7, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DigitalPost Interactive (OTCBB:DGLP), a leader in digital media-sharing and online advertising, on Thursday launched VirtualSpokespeople.com, the first phase of a planned rollout of its Rovion Ad Management Platform (RAMP), an innovative online suite designed to create, deliver and track video or Flash™-based rich-media advertising.
With VirtualSpokespeople.com, small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) can create, deliver and track the performance of virtual spokesperson videos. According to the US census, there are 10 to 15 million SMBs in the U.S. Rovion's, "InPerson™," video spokesperson ad units are highly engaging media tools, which can be used to educate, inform and increase conversion on any web site or as an advertisement, which can be viewed on publisher web sites.
InPerson™ was invented by Rovion, a subsidiary of DigitalPost, and has historically produced an average click-through-rate (CTR) of more than 5% over thousands of online ad campaigns. This compares very favorably to an average CTR of less than 1% for the online ad industry overall.
VirtualSpokespeople.com leverages RAMP technology to automate much of the InPerson™ sales and production process. As a result of these newly developed efficiencies, VirtualSpokespeople.com is able to offer greater flexibility and more competitive pricing than has previously been made available to this market.
DigitalPost Chief Technology Officer Brian Goss commented, "Once fully developed, RAMP technology will eliminate the need for specialized coding and will substantially shorten the timeline for developing and delivering a wide range of rich media ads online. It will be an easy to use, fully automated, web-based platform that enables non-technical users to create, deliver and track the results of virtually any complex, video or Flash™-based web ad."
DigitalPost President David Simon added, "VirtualSpokespeople.com brings the first phase of this initiative to market. The proven performance of InPerson™ combined with the efficiency of our new platform is designed to produce aggressive gains in market share and revenue potential."
