NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. & FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. (BusinessWire EON) April 2, 2007 --
Hyundai Motor America has introduced a new way for its customers to
research and shop with the launch of the Veracruz interactive video
player. Available on the Consumer Guides/How Stuff Works website (http://public.jumpstartautomotive.com/content/detroit_autoshow_hyunda
i/player.html), the interactive video player incorporates one main
and seven sub clickable videos for the viewer to research features and
benefits of the all-new 2007 Veracruz SUV.
While watching the main video that highlights general features of the
vehicle, the viewer can select a topic of interest and, when prompted,
click on the video to explore additional sub videos highlighting Veracruz’s
key features, such as the exterior, interior, performance and safety.
When done, the viewer exits the sub video and returns to what they were
watching in the main video.
Hyundai and Jumpstart Automotive enlisted Vimation
to create the Veracruz interactive player utilizing the company’s
VIM® clickable video technology.
“The Veracruz interactive video player
provides a compelling and innovative way for our customers to research
the Veracruz,” said Joel Ewanick, vice
president of marketing, Hyundai. “All of the
vehicle’s relevant information via videos,
audio, images and text is aggregated into one player. The viewer can
jump to different topics through the videos and they have control of
what they want to watch and research.”
David Hemingway, chief executive officer of Vimation, said companies
that utilize interactive video have a distinct advantage over their
competitors. “Loyalty is the hardest
commodity to earn on the internet. The only way to earn it is to give
the user a personalized and relevant experience, one where they can lean
forward and investigate while benefiting from the emotional aspect of a
video presentation.”
Hemingway said Vimation’s technology makes it
possible for Hyundai to syndicate the Veracruz player into any website
while still keeping the content centrally administered. More than 40
metrics will be measured on a real-time basis, including repeat
visitors, which videos are being viewed the most, how long each video is
viewed, every time an interactive element is clicked and the location in
the country where each viewer is watching.
“We’re always
looking for new ways to push video content created specifically for the
web,” said Dave Latham, west coast sales
manager at Jumpstart Automotive Media. “Hyundai
has given us this great opportunity to create some unique content while
the Vimation technology helps us take it to the next level.”
