Industry demand launches Seekers Media

For Immediate Release

– June 1, 2010

Edmonton, AB – SnowSeekers Inc. is moving under a new corporate umbrella, Seekers Media (www.seekers-media.com), to become a bigger part of the travel and media industry. “We have been getting many production requests that were outside our SnowSeekers TV, online, and mobility interests,” explained President Jim Barr. 

Seekers Media will act as a “production for hire” company and work with clients to see through their video, online, and mobility needs, while continuing to improve the foundation of its own media interests at www.snowseekers.ca. 

“As a team, SnowSeekers has become very savvy in the art of quality content creation (video, editorial, and photographs), content campaigns capitalizing on social media, and in the production of mobility applications for smart phones.   We are excited to pair up this experience with our catalogue of over six hours of broadcast grade HD b-roll from 16 destinations around Alberta and BC.  Now, this knowledge and bank of eye-popping video allows for opportunities year round,” said Barr.

Seekers Media will work with clients to see through their interests to produce stellar corporate videos, content campaigns, and/or mobility applications.
