VideoJug Launches U.S. Operations, New 'Ask The Expert' Format and Announces Veteran Entertainment Producer as CEO


VideoJug Corporation, the world's largest producer of factual, online video content, today officially launched its redesigned website, www.VideoJug.com. The site, which offers the public a "video encyclopedia of life," delivers the most comprehensive library of informative videos online. With more than 15,000 professionally produced, high definition videos covering every conceivable aspect of life from health to hobbies, food to finance and parenting to pets, VideoJug offers each and every film for free viewing and downloading to computers, iPods and mobile phones. In a few short months, the company's U.S. operation has furthered VideoJug's goal of becoming a major presence in the global online video market.


VideoJug America, Inc. is run by Chief Executive Officer, Peter J. Schankowitz. Schankowitz is a seasoned television creative executive and producer who, immediately prior to launching VideoJug America, was the President of Worldwide Development at Vin Di Bona Productions. Schankowitz brings with him extensive knowledge in the creation, development and production of television programming as well as studio management as he ventures into the new media market.


The popular and critically acclaimed site is well known for its "How to" content that gives users a professional, step-by-step guide for doing almost anything. Along with hundreds of additional How To films, the newly designed website introduces the new "Ask The Expert" format.


The Ask The Expert library consists of over 13,000 videos featuring world class experts answering everything from "How does chemotherapy work?" to "Which wines are a good investment?" From the more difficult aspects of life (health problems, financial woes) to the lighter, more welcome surprises (new hobbies, new relationships) that life throws our way, Ask The Expert is the definitive online source for credible, well-organized, factual information you can count on. VideoJug plans on producing over 100,000 videos in the coming months and putting the wisdom of the best and the brightest on video, and at the public's disposal, free of charge.


"I'm thrilled to be at the helm of VideoJug's U.S. operations and delivering on our company's promise of providing video content covering literally every aspect of life. The quality and quantity of our content is unparalleled and we're committed to helping our users get the most out of life. This venture, and making these videos that will improve people's lives, is truly the most professionally and personally rewarding experience of my career," says Schankowitz.


Schankowitz is well-known for his development and production of a wide variety of reality, alternative and scripted television projects. During his time at Vin Di Bona Productions, Schankowitz created and executive produced projects for ABC, NBC, MTV, Bravo, GSN, Animal Planet and Lifetime. He was most recently the Executive Producer of "Storm on the Horizon," a two-hour special for the History Channel as well as a comedy pilot for NBC, "Comedy Coliseum." Prior to his time with Vin Di Bona, Schankowitz was President of Television at Film Roman ("Simpsons", "King of the Hill") and an independent creative producer.


VideoJug's unparalleled, video library provides advertisers and brands with the rare opportunity to engage targeted markets around the globe in a contextual setting that matches them with proactive consumers on the verge of purchasing decisions. As the breadth and depth of VideoJug's content grows, so does the opportunity for advertisers to market in a uniquely attractive, brand safe environment and for the company's content to reach other media platforms, including on demand and broadcast television and mobile technology.


With offices in Los Angeles and London, VideoJug is committed to building its content library, exploring new formats, branching out globally and building a community of users seeking information about life and how to live it to the fullest.
