Steve Young's Rovion BlueStream(TM) Campaign Utilized by Newspaper Websites

Rovion (http://www.rovion.com), the leading provider of borderless video streaming solutions for web publishers, advertisers and marketers has combined talents with Steve Young and his online campaign site, www.steveyoungforcongress.com, to revolutionize the way that the Internet is used to reach voters. Steve Young, a California Congressional candidate is utilizing BlueStream in order to introduce himself to visitors and to educate them on his beliefs and political positions. BlueStream videos will be shown on leading opinion websites, including newspapers, in a bid to reach as many voters as possible.

BlueStream has proven to be effective in helping websites, advertisers and marketers to build awareness, increase revenues, and convert visitors into customers. By utilizing a video of a spokesperson, Rovion is able to deliver an impactful, persuasive message directly to a website visitor. Additionally, the company's extensive reporting platform allows its clients to monitor their campaign's performance and manage their videos.

While other organizations, such as professional sports organizations, television stations, and entertainment companies have used Rovion's services, Steve Young is one of the first politicians to use the technology to speak directly to his supporters.

"The new technology we are using on the site has increased traffic and received extremely positive feedback from visitors," says Young. "So good, in fact, that we have decided to redirect resources from our television advertising budget to create partnerships with leading opinion websites that will use our spokesperson campaign."

"Its great to see the many ways that BlueStream can be used," notes Rovion CEO Len Ostroff. "More than just an advertising and promotional tool, BlueStream technology can be used to educate and communicate in a way that can't be expressed through text or traditional video in a box."
