Since its launch last year, Minute Media has added new tools and features focused on increasing user retention and engagement. These include:
- A powerful recirculation tool that automatically converts a publisher’s existing articles into engaging videos, by converting a RSS feed into a video file.
- Digital Rights Management solution that helps companies protect and control their digital intellectual property and ensures that rights and restrictions are in place for each piece of content, which can help maximize revenue.
- Semantic playlists which use algorithms to create custom video playlists based on relevant content driven by what a user watches.
- An enhanced video player for a better user experience on both the user and publisher side. The enhanced player is 16 percent faster than the original version, with a new design, ability to add custom logo and branding in addition to more robust ad inventory. The extended player experience also improves stickiness through content discovery.
