Since it officially opened its doors for business on April 22, 2002, MultiVu, headquartered in New York City, has tripled its revenue and grown to become one of the largest broadcast PR companies in the industry, surpassing many industry bellwethers along the way.

MultiVu Founder and President Tim Bahr, a broadcast PR industry veteran when he started MultiVu with PR Newswire's support in 2002, said the success of the company over the past five years is a testament to the hard work of the highly experienced senior executive team, top sales force, and talented production and media relations staff.

"When we envisioned MultiVu we had two goals: to find a partner that would have the foresight and innovative spirit to bring broadcast communications into the 21st century, and to hire the best in the business to assist organizations in taking advantage of the many new opportunities in the changing media landscape," said Bahr. "As a division of PR Newswire, MultiVu has been able to offer unique value propositions to our clients. Not only do we produce the best broadcast and multimedia communications tools, but we also have a vast media and online distribution network to deliver clients' messages to multiple audiences. These services, combined with the unparalleled industry expertise of our staff, are what have propelled our success over the past five years."

When MultiVu entered the broadcast PR business its core services centered on getting clients' news and information on television and radio through production and distribution of video news releases, public service announcements, audio news releases and similar products designed to help generate broadcast news coverage. But, at its inception, Bahr recognized the changing media landscape and the increasing role the Web would play in how people receive news. In response, MultiVu initiated a 'Broadcast and Beyond' strategy designed to help its clients take advantage of the new opportunities the Web provided to reach consumers directly. The strategy involved introducing new services that would extend the reach of all traditional broadcast products to the Web, repackaging traditional news content for direct-to-consumer online communications and employing new online distribution strategies to make content readily available to all forms of media.

When online video sharing websites such as YouTube, Grouper, Metacafe and Revver exploded onto the scene, MultiVu was already well positioned to assist its clients in leveraging this new, dynamic medium. Very quickly, MultiVu

became the go-to source for producing and distributing video content specifically for the online media and consumer audience.

"MultiVu is continually looking for new, creative ways to produce, distribute and measure broadcast communications for our clients," said Bahr. "We will continue to be pioneers in incorporating new technology with the objective of cultivating more effective messaging between our customers and their audiences."
