Video Producer WatchMojo Launching Local Editions Around The Globe

watchmojo [1]Since 2006, WatchMojo [1] has created one of the largest libraries of professionally-produced, premium videos on the people, places and events that have shaped the world. As the Montreal-based media company celebrates its six year anniversary, it is now adding a new layer of local programming in different cities around the globe that will feature the trendsetting tastemakers who inspire and influence the worlds of fashion, entertainment, lifestyle, food, and everything else the company has covered across its catalog of seven thousand-plus videos since 2006.

“When people ask about the origins of our brand WatchMojo, we remind them that ‘mojo’ has a double meaning: the first meaning – of course – has a connotation of charisma and success; that reflects the videos we’ve created until now on successful people, popular places and newsworthy events. But the other meaning stands for mobile journalism; that’s been part of the more long-term strategy, in pre-production now and which we plan on launching later this year,” explains company CEO Ashkan Karbasfrooshan.

Combined with a portfolio of 500-plus URLs including NewYorkMojo.com, ParisMojo.com, MelbourneMojo.com, BarcelonaMojo.com, TokyoMojo.com, etc., WatchMojo is planning on unleashing a barrage of local editions around the world, to augment the content it has been producing and to boost the brand it has been building since 2006.

“Obviously, WatchMojo will remain the umbrella brand that houses all of the content and editions. But with such a rich existing catalogue and increasing reach, it makes sense to expand globally and offer deeper vertical and local editions,” adds Karbasfrooshan.

After translating [2] some of its existing content throughout 2011, WatchMojo will expand through a mix of creation, curation and aggregation:

Interested parties can submit their portfolio [3] online or email the company at watch(at)watchmojo(dot)com. The company will be announcing partnerships with new distributors and advertisers along with special initiatives to cover the roll-out across the world in the months to come.
