Local Online Video Companies Partner Up
1/23/08 – Santa Monica-based mobile video and advertising company Transpera and Los Angeles-based online video company Break.com are partnering up to bring Break’s Internet content to mobile phones.
Using the Transpera platform, Break’s content and advertising will be available through major carrier networks including AT&T, Sprint/Nextel and T-Mobile, the companies say. In addition, compatibility with the iPhone, Windows Mobile and the latest video-capable devices will allow users to customize their mobile videos.
Transpera launched in July, and is backed by Intel Capital, IDG Ventures and First Round Capital. Break, which has been around since 1998 and targets young men, says that it brings more than 18 million unique monthly visitors to its web site. Last summer it secured $21 million in funding from Lionsgate Entertainment.
