ViTrue Powers Cincinnati Bell's New 'Z-Street' Online Video Community

Major Phone and Wireless Company Encourages Residents to Create and Share Video Content Online

Atlanta, GA – April 5, 2007

ViTrue, Inc., pioneer of the world’s first consumer-created video platform designed to enable safe brand interaction, today announced that it is providing the video platform for the new Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE:CBB) Z-Street website.  Z-Street, which is available through www.zoomtown.com, is a user-generated content website designed so that residents of Greater Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio, can share their videos with the Z-Street Community. Cincinnati Bell is one of the first telecommunications companies to offer a branded user-generated content Web site.

Z-Street is an online social community that encourages users to upload videos, submit comments, create and participate in blogs, send messages, and share content with family and friends.  Z-Street members can upload and share their favorite videos in a number of different categories including Music, Movie Reviews, Politics, Citizen Journalism and ZT SportsZone. In the coming months, Z-Street will add new categories, including video classifieds. 

ViTrue is helping companies like Cincinnati Bell create more effective interactions with their customers. With its comprehensive tools and services, organizations can easily leverage user-developed content and social networking to interact with their audiences in new and innovative ways. As a result, organizations now have a considerably more efficient and effective means to build awareness and drive loyalty while preserving the integrity of their brands.

“We are excited to partner with ViTrue for the launch of Z-Street, as we’re finding that our customers don’t just want to be marketed to – they want to be part of the dialog.  ViTrue enables us to directly engage, educate and entertain our customers without giving up control of these important relationships,” said Bharat Kakar, vice president of corporate marketing for Cincinnati Bell. 

“The launch of Z-Street is significant, as it represents one of the first major phone companies to launch a user-generated video community,” said Reggie Bradford, CEO of ViTrue.  “As the battleground for user-created video shifts to local markets and consumers who want to take advantage of this powerful medium, Cincinnati Bell is well-poised to drive the dialogue.”
