New Distribution Agreements Help Fuel AtomFilms' Soaring Traffic and Advertiser Growth


 
San Francisco, CA (September 22, 2005)   AtomFilms today announced new distribution agreements that extend its reach to AOL, Singingfish, Blinkx and other major portals and video search engines. The agreements will introduce millions of new viewers to AtomFilms' unique content offering of the best short-form film and animation from new and innovative producers. Each of the companies will promote the content for viewing on the AtomFilms® website (AtomFilms.com), expanding the AtomFilms audience and helping satisfy its skyrocketing advertiser demand.

 
"Innovative  short-form content from AtomFilms meets the needs of today's consumers, who demand bursts of quality entertainment that fit into busy schedules," said Scott Roesch, vice president and general manager of AtomFilms.  "These new distribution agreements with industry leading sites will make AtomFilms' entertainment available to an even wider audience."

 
An industry pioneer and leader since 1999, AtomFilms has seen its audience increase 174 percent in the past year as broadband continues to drive more consumption of video content online.
