Wizzard Media Signs Podcast Publishing and Advertising Deal with Spike TV
PITTSBURGH-(Business Wire)-July 1, 2008 - Wizzard Media (AMEX: WZE), the world's largest podcasting network, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Spike TV to use Wizzard's LibsynPRO 2.0 service to host a podcast in support of Spike's new original series, "Factory." The agreement also includes a Spike TV ad campaign to run on the Wizzard Media Network in support of the podcast and television series.
The Spike TV "Factory" podcast (www.wizzard.tv/factory) will consist of bonus footage from the series, which premiered on Sunday, June 29 at 10pm ET/PT.
By using the LibsynPRO 2.0 system, Spike TV will receive detailed statistics, dynamic ad insertion and geo-targeting tools and Nielsen//NetRatings metrics reporting for the "Factory" podcast. The podcast ad campaign in support of the series, which kicked off on June 15, will generate nearly a half-million ad impressions over the course of the campaign.
Jim Else, VP of Ad Sales, Wizzard Media, said, "The Spike TV demo is perfectly aligned with the sweet spot for consumers of podcasts which makes the Wizzard Media Network a natural vehicle to help get Factory off to a roaring start. We look forward to working with Spike to promote their new, original comedy series."
Spike TV's "Factory" follows the day-to-day lives of four disinterested small town factory workers as they spend their time fraternizing in lieu of doing their drab work. This painfully funny look at life as a factory employee is stars and is produced and directed by "Strangers with Candy" co-creator Mitch Rouse.
