IPEX TV and Cameron Thomson Group to Expand Online Marketplace for European Content Owners

Montreal, Canada - September 10, 2007 - IPEX TV ®, providers of the leading B2B E-commerce marketplace dedicated exclusively to buyers and sellers of multiplatform video programs, and the Cameron Thomson Group (CTG), the pre-eminent business development corporation focused on media, entertainment and related technologies , today announced their partnership to extend the presence of IPEX TV in the European and Canadian television marketplaces.

“Cameron Thomson will provide IPEX TV with the relationships and industry insight necessary to increase IPEX TV sales in the European and Canadian interactive media, mobile video and traditional film and television markets. T he fast changing business of media sales and distribution requires that we work with the best in the business, ’’ stated Paul Allard, CEO of IPEXCO, the parent company of IPEX TV. “CTG has a wealth of experience in Europe, the United States and Canada. Given their track record and expertise, they are well positioned to extend our reach into global markets.”

“I believe IPEX TV’s focus on ‘media-rich sales and marketing tools’ such as web-based video trailers and sell sheets, will inevitably widen the sales funnel for both content producers and distributors, closing the gap between buyer and seller, causing buyers to react more quickly to content opportunities.” said Ronald Thomson, President of Cameron Thomson Group.” It enables intelligent matchmaking between those who have rights to distribute content and those who are looking for particular material to fill out their program schedule or lineups. We believe IPEX TV is an essential tool, not only for those buyers attending traditional markets like MIPTV, but also for those covering emerging markets such as mobile video, VOD and broadband tv. This is good news for anyone who controls content libraries because it makes the process of selling content so much more cost-effective and efficient, which is often difficult for those with large catalogues.”

Cameron Thomson and IPEX TV will be presenting these services at upcoming program distribution markets relevant to the international film and television community in the coming months.
