WOBURN, Mass. and New York, NY (AD:Tech 2004) – November 8, 2004 – Mirror Image® Internet, an adaptive network for online content, application and transaction delivery, today announced Flashtalking, a video delivery, email and advertising solutions technology, has selected Mirror Image’s Global Content Caching solution to reliably deliver hundreds of high-volume advertising campaigns to more than 100 million online users worldwide.
“As an online advertising provider who combines audio and video to deliver messages for clients such as MSN, Cisco, Nissan and Nike, top-notch performance is crucial. Mirror Image allows us to balance traffic bursts with day-to-day server requirements, a problem we were unable to cost effectively solve with our own servers,” said Paul Cunningham, Managing Director of Flashtalking. “After evaluating all major content delivery providers, we found Mirror Image to offer the best combination of solutions, pricing and client service.”
Providing a flexible and unique video advertising solution based on Flash 4+, Flashtalking enables clients to bring high-quality TV spots to life online with instant streaming or progressive load & play, automated connection speed id, variable video selection and play controls. Recently, Flashtalking launched a “takeover” ad for MSN’s UK home page, which combined an “overlay” ad sequenced with a video ad. The two online ads, optimized to work seamlessly regardless of the users connection speed, were delivered simultaneously to users via Mirror Image’s global Content Access Point® (CAP) network. The advertisement can be viewed at: www.flashtalking.com/msntakeover/.
“The highest-quality customer service, on-demand scalability and secure content management is what resonates with our customers today,” said Bob Hammond, Chief Technology Officer at Mirror Image. “We understand the importance of providing these capabilities and are delighted advertising companies like Flashtalking are turning to us to more effectively deliver innovative multimedia campaigns.”
