Creating multi-platform content with the new Globecast Media Manager Platform

Globecast’s powerful expertise in covering live events enables its customers’ editorial teams to package action highlights during and after an event, then to publish to all screens. Globecast’s intelligent media management system automatically allows content owners to increase viewer/follower engagement, grow their audience and introduce new monetisation models.
