Craze Digital – Paving the Digital Highway for Films, TV, Music & Fashion

July 2010 was a great month for the Craze Digital Movies catalog, setting a record number of 1.6m views, with an average of 400k views per week.

With a few good No. 1′s and a worldwide all-time record of first page featured titles, we keep working hard to provide a legal and monetizable avenue for online movies – feature and documentary.

If you had a chance to meet with us during one of the many media shows we have attended, you probably heard us mentioning the mysterious term “commitment to the digital highway”.  Well, here’s a small but tangible example for this commitment. We realise very well that there are still many challenges to face and new business models to perfect in the digital world, but we are decisive in our %100 focus and working hard to harvest it as deeper as we can.

Interested to hear more about the digital highway? Got some video catalogs (TV, Movies) and interested to see what you can do in the online and mobile world? Then just contact us and we’d be delighted to set a time to meet.

Come meet us at Cannes Film Festival 2010, from May 12th – May 20th.

We will attend the Marché du Film and present our “Digital Extravaganza” showcase for Films at Stand 24.09, Floor 01.

Make sure to drop by! Some great new projects and features will be presented – iPhone apps, Widgets for TV & Blu-ray players, New VOD sites and of course we will hold our “Digital Film & Video Monetization” Workshop for anyone who is interested.

Looking forward to seeing you at Cannes.

We’re delighted to announce our partnership with the super chic NYC urban fashion line Pastry, designed and run by American celebs Vanessa & Angela Simmons (stars of the MTV show “Daddy’s Girls”, and daughters of legendary rapper Rev Run of Run DMC).

Pastry is one of the leading US fashion brands for unique retro/street fashion, featuring a dazzling line-up of Sneakers (Hi-Top, Low-Top, Glam-Pie), Boots, Shoes (Heels, Wedges, Flats, Flip-flop, Eyewear, Kids & Adults Outfit (Denim, Dresses, Jackets, Bottoms & Top) – all preserving the distinctive ‘CHIC – SWEET – UNIQUE’ glam-urban design philosophy.

The partnership will see Pastry becoming the premier fashion partner of CrazeTV, and will join forces with Craze in several cross-marketing and online promotion activities, such as:

• Pastry’s products will become an integral part of our special “super-bundles”,  which package together digital media (Films, Video, Music) with related physical merchandise.
• PastryTV will be featured on the CrazeTV network, over the coming weeks.
• CrazeTV’s channels will feature a host of innovative branding and promotional placements for Pastry’s products.

As our vision describes, we see fashion as the 3rd foundation of the digital lifestyle identity, along with music & films/video. The 3 merge together to shape our art/culture identity, and as such, we are keen to explore the option to provide a greater value for the consumer by bundling items and products from those 3 worlds.

Great new remixes for Leona Lewis’ songs from the album “Best Kept Secret” have just been released. All remixes produced by UK Dj Mikey Gallagher, who’s been a veteran of the Ministry of Sound Radio, and currently hosts Hed Kandi’s nights in LA, as well as running his label “Shanghai Sessions”. Check them out on iTunes and soon on direct-downloads through our Kiosk widget.
