Trumba Connect helps media and broadcast organizations like the OPB increase awareness of and attendance at local events and better connects these organizations with their communities through a comprehensive suite of tools that includes a hosted, interactive Web calendar, event submission forms, and reporting services. Trumba Connect?s innovative design allows for quick deployment of customer-branded event calendars that are rapidly adopted by community users because of an intuitive interface and interoperability with leading personal calendaring solutions.
Powered by the Trumba Connect solution, OPB visitors can easily add specific activities to their own personal Google?, MSN® Hotmail®, AOL®, Yahoo!?, Microsoft® Office Outlook® and Apple® iCal® calendars, set event reminders or receive notifications of event changes. Moreover, the OPB Calendar encourages individual visitors to submit their own events to the calendar, thus functioning as a two-way communication vehicle with the community.
Highly visible and just one click away from the OPB homepage, the OPB Community Calendar provides visitors with a comprehensive monthly view of various events happening across the state ( http://www.opb.org/community/calendar/). The OPB Community Calendar is extremely comprehensive yet easy to navigate and provides access and information across 16 different event categories, including Workshops, Children?s Events, Fair & Festivals, Charities, Theater & Dance, and more.
?Trumba Connect has seen aggressive growth among media companies during the last several months. With today?s OPB win and the recent King5 deployment in Seattle, the broadcast media markets are heating up and have begun to increase their presence among our many print and online media customers,? said Jeremy Jaech, CEO of Trumba. ?Local public broadcasting organizations like the OPB are natural fits for Trumba Connect because their listeners and viewers naturally look to them for community information. We?re looking forward to providing them with a better way to do just that.?
