Gotuit Media (www.gotuit.com), a digital media company delivering a new class of on-demand video products, today announced it has partnered with Major League Soccer (MLS) to power the League's new Quick Kicks video application on the MLS website (www.MLSnet.com). Through Quick Kicks, MLS fans can now enjoy video highlights of all televised matches online delivered through the robust Gotuit Media video experience with access to patented features such as deep video search and swift video playback.
"Through our partnership with Gotuit, MLS is able to offer our fans the opportunity to access video from MLS games in multiple ways and at the time of their choosing," said MLS President Mark Abbott. "It is the type of access that savvy fans now demand and we are pleased to be able to offer it to them."
This is the first co-branded partnership where Gotuit will utilize their advanced video player, patented search and navigation technology to power the video offering of a professional sports property. The Gotuit Media Platform provides MLS with the ability to provide its fans with an intuitive and uniquely interactive video experience. Gotuit also allows MLS to maintain a consistent look and feel and to house the technology on www.MLSnet.com.
Visitors to www.MLSnet.com will have access to the co-branded video portal shortly after each game is completed. The service will feature key game highlights and videos through Gotuit's exceptionally fast video playback, as well as the ability to "deep search" within each game for items such as top players and key plays. Using this unprecedented search functionality, visitors will be able to create their own personal highlights reel with the content of most interest to them.
"To be chosen by such a prominent, professional organization as Major League Soccer validates our platform and highlights the value we can bring to such content owners," said Mark Pascarella, president of Gotuit Media. "As MLS has recognized, Gotuit provides a superior viewing experience for video content, adding value for the loyal MLS fan base and giving them a reason to stay on the site longer, as well as attracting new viewers. This is the first of many partnerships reflecting our effort to help major professional sports properties deliver a superior video experience for their content and thus attract and retain a wider user base."
