From Fortune Tech Conference to Public Launch: A Busy Month for FlixMaster Interactive Video
It’s been an exciting couple of weeks for us here at FlixMaster HQ in Boulder, CO as we’ve been hustling at events, launching new projects, partnering up with some great channels and communities, and debuting our new pricing model. We’re excited to keep the ball rolling as we round out the summer and transition into the fall - exciting projects and partnerships are coming soon to a FlixMaster player near you!
For our friends who like to fall off the grid on occasion (Bart Lorang, we’re looking at you!), here is a recap of some of the things we’ve been up to:
We also partnered up with our friend Michael Siegler at ErliBird.com to offer a great promotion to ErliBird's community of “Erli Adopters” – a fiercely passionate group of savvy tech enthusiasts. In ErliBird we’ve found a great community of new FlixMaster users and we’re really excited to see what they produce! (Pssttt… There are still a few slots open. Become an Erli Adopter to get three months of FlixMaster Pro for free!)
Most recently, on July 17th, our Co-Founder and CEO Erika Trautman got the opportunity to demo FlixMaster’s platform at Fortune’s Brainstorm: TECH Conference in scenic Aspen Colorado, joining big names such as Anne Sweeney and Peter Thiel. We were thrilled, and decided to use the opportunity to not only announce our public launch, but also to debut our new “freemium” model that allows anyone to create next generation interactive video experiences for free. Cool, right? We think so.
We've had a great (albeit, crazy) couple of weeks and we're excited to keep the FlixMaster ball rolling. Tune in soon to catch more announcements on our latest projects and partnerships, including some fun work with Bay Area Video Coalition, a great community of filmmakers. (take a look at their blog)
