PRESS RELEASE
earthTV offers live marketing to global destination marketing
industry
It is possible you may have not heard of earthTV but almost everyone
recalls that short relaxing TV weather segment before news with views
from around the world. That is earthTV in a nutshell: globetrotting by
anyone from anywhere.
earthTV invites destinations world wide to benefit from its live destination
marketing service in a first presence in ITB Berlin 2016 in Hall 1.1 104c.
A virtual getaway?
Imagine! No, not referring to John Lennon’s song -although this tune can
set you in the right mood for the stunning visuals of earthTV- but
referring to the three and half year young company. Started by two
brothers passionate about visual media and travel. The Lohmann brothers
started back then with earthTV what is now the trend, Travel 4.0.
Unique editorial service
Although earthTV might seem like a tech company with all the tech talk
about HD live stream, their main focus remains editorial. “We utilize the
latest publishing technology to virtualise the world in its true colours”
says Nikolaus Lohmann CEO and Co-Founder describing earthTV, the
largest and most innovative global live camera network. “We want to
connect people, encourage them to explore and inspire the love for travel.
The proprietary earthTV System is the unique medium between our
cameras destinations and global media audience. Our growing network of
live cameras act like the eye of the viewer, everything our cameras
witness is available on all our platforms TV and online day and night all
year round. In a nutshell: the world is our studio, and we spend time and
focus to show how beautiful it is to everyone”.
What is Live Destination Marketing?
You might wonder. It does only take a camera to deliver a video of a
place but it takes more to connect people to it. Grasping the feel of the
place and bringing out its uniqueness and beauty, almost like you can
touch it, is the focus of live destination marketing.
But why live?
Because live is simply the most authentic reflection of any destination.
Think new media, think all new apps that are going live, think bridging
destinations with potential tourists. By going live you are walking the
shortest distance between a destination and travel lovers. earthTV offers
a 24/7 live online stream and peerless editorial coverage of each and
every camera destination.
What about TV?

"The World Live" the most watched segment in the history of TV, leaving
viewers of all generations, places and cultures in Awe. Behind the
simplicity of this show is a mighty earthTV system that goes beyond
capturing the place to smart Showgenerators. earthTV offers destinations
