Digitalsmiths Corp., the industry leader in video search and recommendation, announced today the release of Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery™. The sophisticated solution, developed and designed for service providers, connected device manufacturers and content owners instantly and accurately recommends video content and entertainment that is personally relevant to each viewer.

“With so many entertainment options available to viewers today, we all know first hand that finding the relevant programming we seek is harder than ever,” said Ben Weinberger, Digitalsmiths co-founder and CEO. “Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery enables the most precise, practical and proven video recommendations and search available.”

The proliferation of connected devices and an endless amount of content now increasingly overwhelms consumers with choices. Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery provides an immediate and holistic solution by offering the most reliable search and recommendation solution. Consumers can now instantly receive personalized content on any device.

“Successful next-generation video services will be built around the ability to surface content highly relevant to the individual consumer,”
said Seth Skolnik, senior vice president Corporate Partnerships and Ventures, Technicolor. “Digitalsmiths’ multi-dimensional data-driven approach promises to deliver such recommendations for the services it powers.”

Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery represents a fundamental shift in business opportunities for service providers, connected device manufacturers and content owners, by creating clearer pathways to grow audience, increase engagement time and reclaim viewer loyalty.

Pete Scott, senior vice president at Turner Sports said, “Digitalsmiths consistently enables our partners to engage the viewer in a deep and meaningful manner. Seamless Discovery powers longer viewing times and increased fan satisfaction.”

Here’s what sets apart Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery from its competition:

• Personally relevant and accurate results: Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery has the ability to blend the profiles and attributes of each individual viewer and the respective viewing context at that moment and creates unprecedented personalized recommendation accuracy and relevance.

• Deeper content connections: Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery integrates more diverse and distinct data points from both the respective pool of media options and the particular individual seeking content to generate matches that are more immediate and meaningful. The solution has proven that service providers, connected device manufacturers or content owners are able to connect and engage the viewer more quickly and over longer periods of time.

• The ability to reclaim and repurpose viewer engagement: Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery provides game-changing tools for service providers, connected device manufacturers and content owners seeking to monetize their video assets and leverage them to reverse brand or viewing erosion – whether this is through higher transactional revenues for VoD, increased advertising inventories and tactical marketing opportunities, or greater consumer satisfaction and loyalty for the source of the entertainment and viewing recommendations.

“Today’s video-viewing experience is becoming increasingly fragmented with a variety of sources and devices on which to enjoy content,” said Kurt Scherf, vice president and principal analyst with Parks Associates. “By using a search and recommendation solution such as Digitalsmiths Seamless Discovery, service providers, consumer electronics manufacturers, and content owners will be able to create personalized discovery that will increase engagement.”
