Video optimization startup Minute.ly has launched a joint venture with Infront, a Wanda Sports Group Company, that will take Minute.ly’s technology to Infront’s clients across Europe and the USA.
Infront works with some of the world’s biggest international sports federations and its partners, managing media and marketing rights as well as guiding them on strategies to scale globally. It also provides expertise in extending its clients’ digital presence and offerings, including the use of automated tools and technologies that increase user engagement, content distribution and drive revenue.
Previously, Infront participated in Minute.ly’s series A funding round. Now, a year later, Infront has seen how Minute.ly’s solution portfolio can bring value and innovation to its customers, increasing user engagement and content reach. The new partnership will see Infront sell Minute.ly’s technology as part of their offering to prospective and existing customers in Europe and the US.
