New videoblog sponsored by Dove Cream Oil Body Wash and Paltalk NEW
YORK, Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Blip.tv, a service that hosts and
distributes videoblogs and Web-based TV shows, announced today that
videoblogger Amanda Congdon will launch her new show "Starring
Amanda Congdon" this Friday, December 22nd. The show will be hosted
on blip.tv and is one of the first videoblogs to debut with the
support of significant sponsors. "Starring Amanda Congdon" is
sponsored by Dove Cream Oil Body Wash, a new Unilever product
available in February 2007 and by Paltalk, the largest video chat
community on the Internet. "This is a turning point for both
videobloggers and the advertising industry. It's great to see top
brands like Dove and Paltalk pave the way by tapping into the
uniquely loyal audience of a videoblogger like Amanda Congdon,"
said blip.tv COO Dina Kaplan. "Advertisers that have wanted to tap
into the growth of online video but have been concerned about
random and unpredictable viral videos have now found an outlet in
independently produced shows like Amanda's." Dove is sponsoring the
videoblog to promote a contest, hosted at
http://www.dovecreamoil.com/, inviting people to create a 30-second
advertisement for Dove Cream Oil Body Wash. The winning spot will
air during this year's Academy Awards and the winners flown to a
private viewing party in Los Angeles. Amanda has set up a wiki, at
amandacongdon.com/wiki/, where viewers will work together to create
a script for a Dove Cream Oil ad that Amanda will shoot and star in
herself. "The Dove brand is excited to partner with a great new
media personality. Amanda's experience in the videoblogging space
makes her an excellent fit for a consumer-generated video
campaign," said Babs Rangaiah, Unilever's USA Director of Media and
Entertainment. "It allows us to tap into her viewership, which
includes a large number of content creators." "More than anything
else, I consider myself a videoblogger, and these sponsorships are
evidence that the world is continuing to take notice of our
community," said Amanda Congdon. As part of the sponsorship, Amanda
will participate in live online video chats powered by Paltalk.
