Participant Media, the producers of films such as "An Inconvenient Truth", "Charlie Wilson's War", "Syriana" and "The Kite Runner" has launched its new social action website with CONTENS. Conceptual design and implementation of the project were executed by CONTENS' partner T-Sign Studios in Los Angeles.
Participant Media (http://www.participantmedia.com) is convinced that a good story persuasively told can make the critical difference in the way people see the world. Whether it is a film, a documentary, a TV series or other media, Participant Media tells stories that are exciting as well as entertaining and often based on real-life events in order to encourage social sensitivity and responsibility.
For its new social action website the media enterprise which was founded in 2004 by Jeff Skoll, the first president of eBay Inc., opted for the content management platform CONTENS. The new online offer introduces the company Participant Media and its productions to the website's visitors in a motivating way and aims at inspiring them to actively participate in making a positive social change in the world. Thus, in addition to every presented film, five tangible tips are given pointing to what each and every one of us can directly do to alleviate the problems that constitute the subject matter of the particular title. Through the new social action website visitors can access international relief organisations such as Amnesty International, the Gates Foundation, Jewish World Watch and many more, which have been integrated into the online offer according to their specific context. For each issue the user can choose from a variety of possibilities and materials to actively take part in official programmes and actions of the relief organisations.
The decision for the underlying content management technology was made in favour of CONTENS' CMS after a three-stage selection process due to its easy to learn and easy to use interface.
"We had a great experience building our new site with CONTENS," Joshua Tremblay, Manager Operations & Optimization explains. "Despite our short project schedule, the T-Sign team created multiple flexible templates that made updating content easy for both new and experienced users."
Conceptual design and realization of the Participant Media Website (http://www.participantmedia.com) were undertaken by CONTENS' partner T-Sign Studios (http://www.t-sign.com). The online specialists of T-Sign Studios in Los Angeles realized the project with CONTENS in less than six weeks.
