Just topped up, off the back of the CEO buying. I don't think we will stay below 7p for long, especially as they dished out share options the other day at 7.75p.

This is a first. I think it shows how confident they are. Should break through 10p in the next few weeks. IMHO.

It’s all looking good for Blackbird, as the industry finally moves to the cloud. ITN also getting involved, and now looking for cloud editing. ITNP is now looking at adding a cloud-based editing package to enable producers to do rough cuts in the cloud and “stop them tying up expensive edit suites”, said Strous. Someone has posted the below article on LinkedIn, and Blackbird replied, “were on it.” https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/tech/itn-productions-transitions-to-the-cloud/5140590.article

Looks like Blackbird have been demoing their new Video Player to Amazon. Tim Napoleon from Amazon comments on LinkedIn, “Liked the demo.” Things could liven up here again soon. IMHO.

Gervais Williams from Miton Group thinks so as well.

Would like to buy more but can’t as already owns 20% of FBT.

Why wouldn’t you be.

New CEO seems to know what he’s doing, and has heavily invested.

He obviously believes FBT’s time has come.

The video space is massive, and everyone is trying to position themselves, and migrate their workflows to the cloud.

FBT’s problem was that they were way ahead of the crowd in terms of cloud adoption, but now it’s happening.

Microsoft obviously believe they have fantastic tech, and that’s why they have given them co - sell status.

Exciting times ahead. IMHO.

Blackbird Twitter.

Our CEO, Ian McDonough, with @Microsoft US Media Lead, Scott Bounds, in New York - exploring how Blackbird's unique benefits will generate huge ROI for Microsoft customers using the power of the cloud to rapidly edit and publish video content

We're thrilled to have reached Co-Sell Ready Partner status with Microsoft. Blackbird is the only cloud video editing platform to be awarded this level of partnership by Microsoft in recognition of its unique ability to rapidly clip, edit and publish live and non-live video content.

There are rigorous criteria for getting involved in the co-selling program, involving proven competency and capability, as well as having the right types of employees in the appropriate geographies. Once those are established, Microsoft will work on building a joint business plan with the partner. "Then what we would do is package up their services and ours together into our catalog," Schuster said.
