Kyte and LEVEL Studios Announce Strategic Partnership

Kyte and independent digital agency LEVEL Studios are announcing the formation of a strategic partnership, enabling brands and corporate enterprises to maximize their online, mobile and social web presence via interactive, multi-platform social video experiences.

Kyte and LEVEL Studios’ first joint project was for Monster Energy’s interactive website. LEVEL Studios used the Kyte Platform SDK (Software Development Kit) to fully customize the Monster Energy website, integrating Kyte as the online video platform, and including engagement features allowing users to share on the social web.

LEVEL Studios is a California-based digital agency, with offices in San Jose, San Luis Obispo and El Segundo. Founded in 1995 as Web Associates, LEVEL Studios is an independent digital agency that amplifies global brands by innovating across desktop, web and mobile environments.

LEVEL has designed and built websites for brands such as Micron, Quiksilver and NAMCO BANDAI Games. LEVEL has also worked with a diverse list of clients that include Apple, Hewlett Packard, RIM and Cisco.

Soul Train Awards Show Returns, Kyte Platform Integrated onto Website

The soul is back.

Following a two-year hiatus, the legendary Soul Train Music Awards returned to television Sunday, November 29, airing on BET and the new Centric TV Network.

Recorded November 3 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, the Soul Train Awards featured a slew of performances by popular R&B, hip-hop, soul and jazz artists including Toni Braxton, Keri Hilson (who also uses Kyte and was named Best New Artist at the event), Robin Thicke, Ludacris, Erykah Badu and Chaka Khan.

The Kyte Platform played an integral role in the re-launch of the brand online. A Kyte Tall Player was integrated on the site to showcase professional video content, consisting primarily of in-person interviews backstage before and during the event with presenters and artists like Bootsy Collins, Trey Songz, Mario and more.

A vertical Kyte Show Browser in the Kyte Tall Player allowed viewers to conveniently select the shows they want to watch. Kyte interactive engagement features like Get & Share enabled visitors to share content across the social web and real-time chat allowed them to interact with each other during the event.

Soul Train, created and hosted by Don Cornelius, was a syndicated, music-related television program on the air for 35 years (from 1971 to 2006) emphasizing the latest R&B, soul, hip-hop, jazz and gospel songs throughout its history. The Soul Train Music Awards were launched in 1987.
