NEW YORK, Aug 31, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- DADVF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- MRM Worldwide, a top-ten global digital advertising agency and an operating company of McCann Worldgroup, has entered a strategic partnership with Aniboom, the world's first virtual animation studio.

This partnership gives marketers an innovative animation platform for their branding initiatives in that MRM Worldwide clients have access to Aniboom's network of nearly 8,000 professional-level animators from 70 countries across the globe to create cutting edge, top-quality animations for their advertising and marketing needs.

MRM and Aniboom will be able to provide marketers with a wide array of intriguing animation solutions which support their brands and help build buzz. These will include:

    --  Crowdsourcing Creative Concepts: Aniboom can execute advertisers'
        concepts and creative ideas using a proprietary technology that
        organizes their animators into production teams. This process makes
        animation faster, cheaper and of comparable quality to traditional
        studios.

    --  Creative Competitions to Source New Ideas and Executions:  MRM's
        clients can launch a content creation competition in the Aniboom
        community for advertising solutions and have the community at large or a
        panel of judges select the top finalists and ultimate winner of the
        assignment. Or the competition could be private, with only the final
        results exhibited to the public.

    --  Updating Current Materials: Marketers and advertisers could take their
        existing iconic symbols, logos or mascots and have Aniboom bring them to
        life through exciting new executions.

"At MRM Worldwide, we build Customer Utility(TM) which is a means to make the brand message itself useful to the customer," said Oren Frank, Global Chief Creative Officer of the agency. "In marketing, useful is the new clever, and Aniboom is certainly useful and certainly clever."

"This has been an amazing year for Aniboom; our virtual animation studio has delivered great results for leading television networks like FOX and HISTORY, for Marvel Entertainment, and for artists like Radiohead," said Aniboom Founder and CEO Uri Shinar. "We are confident that Aniboom's community of 8,000 pro-level animators from 72 countries will bring the innovation and incredible talent that will supply creative answers to MRM's clients in this digital era."

Aniboom's alliance with MRM Worldwide comes on the heels of several partnerships Aniboom is executing on behalf of renowned entertainment brands. Fox Broadcasting Company and 20(th) Century Fox Television recently turned to Aniboom to help develop concepts for their next animated holiday special. Also, the Aniboom/HISTORY competition is underway, where Aniboom's animators are developing short form animations for the highly anticipated The People Speak film airing on HISTORY later this year.

Additionally, this month Aniboom will launch a partnership with Marvel Entertainment, one of the world's most prominent character-based entertainment companies, where animators registered with the Aniboom community will have the opportunity to create unique motion comics based on renowned super heroes. Previously, Aniboom had a successful partnership with music superstars Radiohead who looked to the virtual animation studio to create music videos for their recent album, In Rainbows.
