Media Village Launches Today

MediaTel is today launching its latest web development, the Media Village, available on open access. Created designed and hosted by MediaTel, the Media Village is a “net community”, which is populated by media organisations and industry bodies, including the IPA, the PPA, TDI, NRS, AGB, BMRB, Euroquest MRB, R&b and NABS.

Derek Jones, Managing Director of MediaTel says, “The content of the Internet is growing at such a rate that it already creates problems for those attempting to collate information for vertical or niche markets. The Media Village overcomes much of this by assembling a number of major information companies and key decision-making bodies under one roof.”

As well as the nine media sites (this number is expected to increase over the next few months), there are other attractions in the village:

• Media Village Pub, a forum for lively, formal or informal discussion
• Media Village Post Office, which houses a database of searchable e-mail contacts within the industry
• Media Village Careers and Training Centre, which has been established for all those seeking a first or new career in advertising or media
• Media Village General Store allows the purchase of a range of publications or industry research
