At Time, I was responsible for the development of a centralised video library which is used on high traffic websites such as NME, Marie Claire, Good To Know, Trusted Reviews and the remainder of their 47 UK websites. The library’s architecture was then adopted into Time Magazine, Fortune Magazine, People, Entertainment Weekly and all of their US based websites. In addition to this, I also developed a video dashboard which provided a large variety of functions to support all video related activities.

Growth & Impact

Impact

Having implemented the video library, we saw a massive growth on all 47 high-profile UK based websites. An even higher growth percentage was experienced in the US.

Revenue via video-based advertisements which were placed on these new players also went up significantly.

Influence

Most publishing companies are moving towards HTML5 video and revenue via video and this is becoming highly accepted in the industry.

I layed a solid technical foundation for video at Time Inc, and saw that foundation grow and become adopted into all of their 100+ websites.
