Henninger Media Services, Inc. (HMS), Washington, D.C.’s premier production and post-production company, was awarded a video web hosting contract with the U.S. Census Bureau. HMS partnered with The Super Group (TSG) of Atlanta, GA, to deliver the Census’ first and only video-hosted platform.
The Census Bureau needed a platform to facilitate a consistent and stable uploading environment for large video and audio files to broadcast news and events to the general public. HMS worked with TSG to establish a stand-alone desktop application and website for browsing, downloading or uploading video files. The site supports both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) content. Getting communication out to the masses in a searchable environment is critical in spreading the word about census-related initiatives.
The site allows the Census Bureau’s staff to easily transfer content through a customized upload utility. This upload utility is integrated with a content management system, allowing a web site administrator to approve uploaded clips and update media on the site quickly and easily. Clips can also be marked for internal review only, allowing Census staff and partners to share media on the site before it is available to the public at-large.
Rob Henninger, President and CEO of HMS, stated “we are excited to win this high profile contract with the Census Bureau and to work with the creative people at The Super Group; this is a perfect addition to our growing portfolio of interactive projects, which we see as a real growth area for the company.” HMS presently works closely with other government entities on various multimedia and interactive projects, including the National Park Service, the National Archives, Navy Medical Support Command, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Super Group is a creative marketing agency focused on building interactive experiences for its customers. TSG’s clientele includes The Weather Channel, Walt Disney World, Kimberly-Clark, Krystal Restaurants, Johnson & Johnson, and many others.
