MediaSilo and Wiredrive Launch SHIFT: Where Creative Work Flows

BOSTON and LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaSilo and Wiredrive are launching SHIFTtm, a new brand identity for the combined companies. SHIFT will change how creators develop and deliver their work, providing solutions that streamline the process of creating, sharing and securing valuable creative assets. The two companies first came together in early 2017 to combine their expertise and strengthen the development of tools that service nearly three million users in agency, brand and post-production creative work.

"SHIFT reflects the changes we see happening in the industry today. We are in the middle of a massive transformation in the media landscape, and as advisors and vendors we have front row seats. This means we are in a unique position to provide solutions that support content creators of tomorrow," says Kai Pradel, CEO of SHIFT. "We support media creation at any scale and are turning our attention toward a new generation of tools that address the demanding workflows of today's creatives."

SHIFT is now the umbrella brand for the company's flagship products: MediaSilo, Wiredrive, SafeStream and Screeners.com. SHIFT will address all aspects of creative workflow, providing solutions to the most significant challenges facing industries which, hindered by workflow conventions, compressed timelines and reduced budgets, still demand powerful creative. The company will introduce new products starting this summer that reimagine collaboration in the fast-growing market of content creation, eliminating workflow silos, and addressing the security and scale needed to create media at the enterprise level.

SHIFT: The Choice for Enterprise Media
SHIFT gives individuals and teams from enterprise media companies, agencies and brands access to a secure ecosystem that embraces the unique needs of creators and eliminates compromises. For those involved in the lifecycle of creative content, SHIFT and its products and services provide an environment that is safe, scalable, inspiring, empowering and efficient.

Both MediaSilo and Wiredrive, leading collaboration platforms for creators and creative companies, address video workflow issues, delivering tools that allow users to stay focused on creativity and content. Each of these solutions will continue as part of SHIFT:

• MediaSilo provides secure video collaboration tools and pre-release content delivery to the post-production market, including many of the largest media companies in the world.
