increase in demand for online hospitality training over the past
few months. As a result, we were in need of a service that not only
provided top-quality production but could ensure we kept up with
demand for new, industry standard course content. We're excited to
be working with Blackbird, where speed and access to media are
critical in reducing post-production times and removing technical
overheads and file movements. The platform will enable Typsy
editors, from Australia to Belgium, to access the new content,
create new courses and publish them to our platform in a timely
manner."
Blackbird CEO, Ian McDonough, said: "I am delighted Typsy have
chosen Blackbird to meet their customers' increasing demand for
content and to drive their business to the next level. Typsy's
globally distributed production teams are collaborating using our
professional toolsets centrally and editing, enriching and
publishing innovative, high quality finished content from wherever

communications video content are high growth verticals and ones for
which Blackbird is a strong and effective solution."
