SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 6, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vizconnect (VIZC-OTC), a publicly traded technology consulting and content marketing firm, is launching The Hometown Network, adding to its portfolio of tools and services for developing original video content for business.
Through VizConnect, The Hometown Network (HTN, www.hometownnetwork.tv) will provide communities and local businesses the opportunity to showcase themselves with state-of-the-art video content presented through a 30-minute program that airs on local and regional channels as well as a dedicated YouTube Channel. Along with scripting, filming, and distribution services, VizConnect repurposes the video segment for each featured business so that it may be used on multiple platforms.
Original video content can also be made available for licensing through hometown.pivotshare.com.
"VizConnect has always been about original video content," said Ed Carroll, VizConnect founder and host of the series. "The multitude of video platforms available can be overwhelming for small and medium-sized businesses. We focus on creating full-scale video that goes beyond Snapchat or a 30-second ad and at the end of the day can be repurposed for all these channels."
The Hometown Network will initially air in Western Massachusetts in October and has sold out subscriptions to several communities such as Northampton, Easthampton, Longmeadow, Chicopee and Westfield to name a few.
"We are excited to take this brand and business model into other markets later this year and next," said Paul Cooleen, President of VixConnect. "We have had a great response in Western Mass and look forward to repeating that success in similar-sized markets."
