Largest Online Database For Film, Video, And Digital Media Production Goes National

ProductionHUB, Inc., announced that it has forged ahead with the national launch of its Web site, following successful, statewide test marketing last year. ProductionHUB is a specialized search engine consisting of the largest, national online database for film, video and digital media production. ""Our goal is to establish ProductionHUB as the most in-depth, comprehensive Web site in the world, devoted solely to the production industry,"" said John Pokorny, General Manager of ProductionHUB. The response to the debut of ProductionHUB revealed tremendous demand for the centralization of information, products and services for the industry. ""For the first time in history, virtually every segment of the production community can be accessed using just one resource,"" said Pokorny. ProductionHUB is designed with a three-pronged objective: to promote commerce, create community, and host content. Companies can utilize the Web site to strategically market their expertise, develop beneficial partnerships, and gain greater national competitiveness. For individuals, the site serves as a nationwide medium for developing peer relationships to confer on projects, discuss issues and share ideas. ProductionHUBĂ­s national directory is currently 65,000 listings strong and is expected to grow to more than 150,000 listings by year-end. The listings are provided FREE for all companies and individuals in film, video and digital media production, and can be updated instantly. For those seeking to upgrade their free listing, ProductionHUB offers annual e-cards, as well as, banner and button advertising opportunities. The company recently signed an agreement with Hollywood Reporter to provide daily industry news. Direct links to other Web sites, articles by industry leaders, classified advertisements, job postings, and other valuable industry-related information, will also be provided. Expansion and enhancements to the Web site are ongoing. The official launch of ProductionHUB is being supported by a nationwide marketing campaign designed to drive traffic to the site. ProductionHUB is headquartered in Winter Park, Florida.
