HEARST COMPANY, LOCALEDGE, INCREASES SOCIAL MEDIA POWER WITH CONTENT FROM BETTERSOCIAL

FRISCO, TX; March 19, 2012 — Social media just got a lot more powerful for thousands of small to mid-sized business customers of LocalEdge, a Hearst Media Services Company, thanks to one Texas company. A new service from Media Distribution Solutions called BetterSocial™ provides a targeted content library, advanced delivery technology, and reliability needed for mass-market adoption of social media services.

Powering video and social media content for over 20,000 local businesses, Media Distribution Solutions announced today that Local Edge has migrated its existing social media customers to BetterSocial. Media Distribution Solutions’ BetterSocial content enables partners like LocalEdge to power thousands of campaigns across the web and mobile implementations with high quality content needed to attract and retain social media relationships. This move is an expansion of the current partnership between the two companies.

“Social media content is a natural service extension for our local business advertisers,” said Jeff Folckemer, CEO of LocalEdge and Senior Vice President of Hearst Newspapers. He continued, “We have relied on the BetterVideo™ services from Media Distribution Solutions for a number of years. Adding the BetterSocial offering just makes sense for our advertisers and us.”

BetterSocial enables LocalEdge to easily create a high quality social media presence for their advertisers including a rich multi-media content library that can be used on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, foursquare, Google+, YouTube, and other sites. Content is organized and available by business category, key words, type, geo-coding, seasonality, proximity-coding, and other important characteristics to create a powerful tool for getting the most out of social media. Using the BetterSocial solution, LocalEdge can also create business profiles on Facebook that include a video player, coupons, maps, and other social media applications. An easy user interface empowers LocalEdge staff with the ability to select from a collection of templates, change colors, font, and select the right content to meet the exacting needs of their diverse customer base. Using the BetterSocial solution dramatically increases the efficiency and speed of delivery necessary for service providers to be competitive in the fast moving social media environment.

“We are very excited about providing our BetterSocial solution and enhancing LocalEdge’s position as a leader in the industry,” says Mike Shell, CEO of Media Distribution Solutions. “With the addition of our very extensive multi-media content library, LocalEdge is in a strong position to dominate the market,” he continued.
