NEW YORK, NY. & LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ IndieMV Media Group) - IndieMV Media Group Inc. and associated Companies (Jake's Trucking International Inc. (OTCBB:JKTI)) announced today the official launch of the Company's web property www.IndieMV.com and shared details about their recent partnership with UNICEF to provide music-video based contests surrounding the upcoming 'Unite Against AIDS' benefit concert on November 28, 2007. The announcement was made by IndieMV Company President and CEO, Ricardo Khayatte.
The Company's web property, www.IndieMV.com, is a video-based website that has been designed to connect independent music artists, fans, and labels through social networking. The website is not only a video marketplace for musicians but also a social networking service for students, music lovers, and users that simply want to connect. Services to users are based around networking tools such as video blogging (or 'vlogging'), private web-cam messaging, photo sharing, as well as access to music videos, interviews, and much more. Services to musicians include digital distribution with revenue share on video downloads along with access to all user-based features.
IndieMV also offers users a new technology developed by the Company called 'Sliders'. Khayatte explains, 'Sliders are an advanced tagging system that are unique to our site. They allow users to easily search content on a more personalized level. It is a filtering system that each user can customize to their personal interests and preferences.'
Concurrent with the website launch, the Company is also pleased to announce their new relationship with UNICEF surrounding music-video based contests that have been organized to help promote their upcoming 'Unite Against AIDS' benefit concert in Montreal, Canada on November 28, 2007, as well as promote independent music while spreading awareness for the 'Unite For Children, Unite Against AIDS' campaign. Khayatte stated, "It's exciting to be part of a cause that is so critical to the youth of today.' IndieMV will be hosting a music-video contest in conjunction with UNICEF. It has been designed to give youth the opportunity to share their impressions and thoughts on issues regarding AIDS and its effect on the world. UNICEF will provide audio tracks and visual footage, and IndieMV will provide the platform for uploading, viewing, and voting for the music videos. Over the next couple of months, the Company's campus development efforts will carry the UNICEF message and encourage thousands to support the campaign and to build their scene on IndieMV.com.
Confirmed feature performers already include headliner Avril Lavigne, Grammy Award winner Sarah McLachlan, Corneille, Marie-Mai, Angelique Kidjo, and DJ Dino Lenny, as well as the winner of the IndieMV "Unite" band contest. Net proceeds from the concert will benefit UNICEF's international 'Unite For Children, Unite Against AIDS' campaign, which is the largest ever mounted to bring the world's attention to the global impact of HIV and AIDS on children and young people.
