TripWriters™ Pilot Program brings stories to life

Tampa-based Solutionz Innovations has partnered with Rich Media Exchange to help you bring your stories to life.  In a game changing move that will forever change the way stories are told, RME’s Rich Media Marketplace is the first digital asset management platform to be “trip-enabled” with the TripProximity™ smart trip planning tool.  This tool allows readers and viewers to plan their trip precisely to the place you are talking about in your story or showing in your video.

The new RME program is called TripWriters. Solutionz and RME are launching a limited pilot of this program this summer to gather input from bloggers, travel writers and photographers for the full launch of the program in the fall.

Travel Massive has been selected as the first launch partner. Solutionz founder and CEO, Chicke Fitzgerald, is one of the co-founders of the Tampa Bay chapter of Travel Massive, along with Pedro Ceron, but we are also accepting 10 additional applicants to the program.

We are accepting 10 Tampa area organizations into the Pilot program and we are pleased to announce that Travel Massive’s own Intoxicating World is the first to be accepted into the program.  Stay tuned for more about this innovative new blog from Kate and Jason Brissette, members of the Tampa Chapter.

All pilot program members will be showcased on the TripProximity.com site, as well as on the Game Changer Network  and will be included in a story about the program that will appear in Travel Daily Media in early July.

Additionally, one program participant that is able to implement immediately may be chosen to be showcased on the Kathy Ireland Worldwide Business program, as a part of a Solutionz segment to air on Fox Business and Bloomberg Worldwide in the fall.

The entire process to trip enable a story or a video or a photo takes just a few minutes and Solutionz Technologies will be here to help you along the way to submit your content to the Rich Media Marketplace, copy the embed code for both the images and the widget and once you have brought your story to “life”, you may submit it to the Destination section of Travel Daily Media, complete with links back to your blog.

We look forward to working with you to make this new program a success.
