TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--North Plains, the leader in helping companies effectively leverage visual media content to connect with customers, today announced it has launched a rebrand of its company, including new mission and visual identity. North Plains has redefined its mission to help its customers including marketers, content creators and publishers to unleash the power of their visual media in order to better communicate with their target audience. North Plains unveiled a fresher, more agile brand and visual identity that focuses on empowering customers to better leverage the influx of visual content created.

“Engaging Your Audience Through A Digital Experience Strategy”

Today, brands are producing massive amounts of content to engage with their customers on smart phones, tablets, streaming video sites and numerous social media channels. In 2013, marketers will continue to see an increase in demand for the development of rich visual content for brand engagement. With its rebrand, North Plains will focus on enabling customers to create, manage, distribute and reuse visual content seamlessly on all channels, across multiple locations, in real-time as new content is developed.

As part of the rebrand, North Plains has developed a new, fresher website to help customers stay connected. North Plains’ customers now have the necessary product, services and case study information easily accessible on the site. The website also has industry-specific information on how North Plains relates to their needs, including specific information for the corporate marketing, advertising and creative, media and entertainment and publishing industries. In addition, North Plains has also developed a new logo to reflect its dedication to empowering customers to leverage the constellation of visual content and connect with their key audiences.

“For marketers and other content creators, visual assets play a large role in connecting and engaging with their customers. Often times, these images are at the center of building and maintaining customer trust,” said Eric Courville, Director of Marketing and Alliances for North Plains. “Our customers are at the center of everything we do and North Plains’ new website and visual identity showcases our commitment to guiding our customers on best practices for unleashing the power of visual assets.”

North Plains’ products, Telescope and Xinet, address its customers’ need to create, manage and distribute visual content. The Xinet solution offers file-based management of work-in-progress (WIP) of visual content for agencies and publishers. North Plains’ Telescope provides management for access, use and distribution of visual content across an enterprise organization and its extended partners.
