YOVEO wins silver at the World Media Festival in Hamburg

|

Honor for YOVEO at the World Media Festival in Hamburg, Germany. The virtual reality project of the „Squirrel Trail“ in Arosa in cooperation with Swiss Minor chocolate has caused international attention. YOVEO won the silver award in the category „Virtual Reality“ last Wednesday in Hamburg. The criteria were besides the production also the creativity and the achieved performance: on Facebook, the teaser video reached almost 350’000 views.

The WorldMediaFestival – global competition for modern media – honors and celebrates excellent solutions in Corporate Film, Television, Web, Web TV and Print productions on a truly international scale. Award winners are among the leaders in their profession.

Founded in the year 2000 this forum for leading communications professionals from around the globe today is one of the premier events in the business and also the only forum of its kind in Europe.

In collaboration with the Virtual Reality production company Bandara, YOVEO has developed a concept for the marketing of the well-known squirrel trail in Arosa. The interactive hiking trail can be experienced by the user as a virtual reality video with a 360° view. The video shows the squirrel trail and its animal inhabitants and also provides a competition. Swiss Minor chocolates are hidden all around and the user must find them. The number of chocolates found can be posted on the Facebook pages of Arosa and Minor. A year’s supply of Minor chocolates are at stake.

For the first time in the German-speaking world a virtual reality production was also financed by advertising marketing. Goldbach Media (Switzerland) AG took over the marketing for Arosa Tourism and was able to obtain the services of media agency Mediakanzlei  and the sponsorship of Swiss chocolate manufacturer Minor for the project.

Yoveo wurde bei den Yahoo Sports Technology Awards in London als “Sports Technology Agency of the Year” ausgezeichnet. Yoveo gewann den Preis für den Einsatz der Technologie iRewind für die Massenproduktion personalisierter Videos beim UBS Kids Cup. Unlängst hatte das Projekt bereits den Bronze-Preis für Innovation bei den Best of Swiss Web Awards gewonnen.

Highlights aus den personalisierten Finisher Clips des UBS Kids Cup

Yoveo entwickelte für den UBS Kids Cup das Projekt «Finisher Clips». Wie bei den grossen Stars von Weltklasse Zürich wurden alle Läufer der 24 Kantonalfinals und dem Schweizer Final im Letzigrund beim 60m-Sprint gefilmt. Am Ende erhielt jedes Kind sein eigenes Video mit seinem Lauf. Ein besonderes Highlight: Das personalisierte Video wurde vorgestellt vom Schweizer Leichtathletik-Aushängeschild Mujinga Kambundji und dem Sportmoderator Jann Billeter im offiziellen Schweizer Sportstudio.

Die Videos konnten kurz nach dem Zieleinlauf onsite im UBS-Zelt angeschaut werden. Gleichzeitig erschienen alle Filme auch auf dem UBS Athletics Fan Corner, damit die stolzen Kids die Clips mit Familie und Freunden bestaunen oder über die sozialen Medien sowie WhatsApp teilen oder downloaden konnten. Insgesamt wurden 7’253 Video produziert. Zu Spitzenzeiten wurde alle 16 Sekunden ein Video gepublished.

„Wir fühlen uns geehrt, auf internationaler Ebene als Sports Technology Agency of the Year ausgezeichnet worden zu sein. Yoveo ist stolz darauf, Technologielösungen für Projekte wie den UBS Kids Cup anzubieten. Es ist ein hervorragendes Beispiel dafür, wie personalisierte Videos dauerhafte Erinnerungen für Teilnehmer und Veranstalter von einmaligen Momenten schaffen können. Diese Auszeichnung ist ein Beweis dafür, dass Yoveo’s Kunden mit der personalisierten Videotechnologie von iRewind Grossartiges leisten können“, so Marco Demont, Teilhaber von Yoveo.

Mit den Yahoo Sports Technology Awards werden Innovationen in allen Bereichen der Sportindustrie ausgezeichnet. Die im Jahr 2014 gegründete Award-Veranstaltung würdigt die grosse Bedeutung von Sporttechnologien und den damit verbundenen Wandel der globalen Sportindustrie.

Yoveo won big at the Yahoo Sports Technology Awards in London, taking home the prize for Sports Technology Agency of the Year. Yoveo won the award based on its use of iRewind’s mass personalized video technology at the UBS Kids Cup. This award comes after the project garnered the bronze prize for Innovation at the Best of Swiss Web Awards.

Highlights from the UBS Kids Cup personalized video finisher clips

Every year throughout Switzerland, the UBS Kids cup brings together over 130,000 children to participate in more than 850 track and field events. Yoveo’s award-winning project included UBS volunteers filming thousands of minutes of film of the athletes who ran the 60-meter sprint. The film was then transformed into personalized videos through iRewind’s technology. Each personalized video features close-up shots of the child and her sprint in normal speed and slow motion.

Best of all, each child’s performance was presented by the Swiss athletics star, Mujinga Kambundji, as well as a popular sports announcer. Shortly after the run, the videos were uploaded to the cloud, allowing participants to watch their videos on-site on iPads and also at home.

The “finisher clips” were also published to UBS Athletics Fan Corner platform, giving participants a personalized memory of their accomplishment as well as a digital souvenir to share with friends and family. The entire production and delivery process is fully automated, enabling a near-to-live delivery of the race videos.

“We’re honored to win for Sports Technology Agency of the Year. Yoveo is proud to provide technology solutions for projects such as the UBS Kids Cup. We think it’s an excellent example of how personalized videos can deliver lasting, sharable memories for participants and event organizers alike. This award stands as a testament that Yoveo’s clients can accomplish great things with iRewind’s personalized video technology.” commented Marco Demont, the co-owner of Yoveo.

The Yahoo Sports Technology Awards reward innovation in all areas of the sports industry. Founded in 2014, the Awards were the first initiative to celebrate the hugely influential force of sports technology as well as the changes such technologies bring about.
