LONDON, June 29, 2011 -
The British Fashion Council (BFC) is enhancing its live and
on-demand video coverage of London Fashion Week SS ‘12 in a
major new partnership with Rightster.
Rightster’s Advanced Video Streaming (AVS) team will work
closely with the BFC during London Fashion week, enabling
publishers, designers, brand sponsors and advertisers to maximise
the value of their involvement with the event. Rightster is
providing live streaming support, publisher distribution,
monetisation services, and integration of video content across
platforms including Facebook.
Rightster’s innovative video rights and distribution system will
enable international publishers and media partners of the BFC to
easily access pre-monetised, official live and on-demand content.
The Rightster system will enable publishers to create their own
customisable video-playlists, incorporating both their own video
and the official BFC content. Publishers can also commission
additional, bespoke packages through Rightster to further enhance
and differentiate their LFW coverage, tailoring their video to
their audiences. BFC-approved titles will be able to utilise
’stream switching’ technologies to create their own live TV shows
around the event, adding personal commentary to live streams, and
interacting directly with their audience.
As part of the BFC’s on going commitment to supporting designers
through digital innovation, Rightster will provide all designers
with the option to live stream their runway shows across multiple
sites and platforms including Facebook - offering designers the
opportunity to create a lasting legacy around their shows, and
build online communities of fashion consumers.
Event sponsors, including Canon and Vodafone will be able to use
Rightster to maximise the impact of their sponsorship, through the
management and distribution of their branded in-event content,
media inventory buying, organising product placement and
commissioning additional video content. The BFC will use the
Rightster system to retain granular control over all media buys
around the official content.
By partnering with Rightster, the BFC is able to continue its
commitment to the promotion of UK fashion and design around the
world, ensuring international publishers are able to easily access
official, sought after LFW content and enabling British designers
to promote themselves to a global audience.
Caroline Rush, CEO of the BFC, said: “We are working with
Rightster to bring the London Fashion Week brand to a
worldwide audience. Rightster’s innovative system and live video
expertise will provide our sponsors, designers and press partners
with more ways to innovate and extract maximum value from their
involvement in the London Fashion Week event.”
Charlie Muirhead, CEO of Rightster said “We’re pleased to be
