Cloud service Present.me has launched this month, offering an online presentation platform that combines synchronised content and video, viewable on-demand.
Present.me enables individuals and organisations to create and share presentations online, so that the viewer sees both content (slides, photos or documents) and the presenter (via webcam or uploaded video) side-by-side, on-demand.
“People talk about ‘sending a presentation’, and then just send slides. But the slides are only half the story. We need to see and hear the presenter as well, and at the same time,” says Spencer Lambert, CEO. “The stumbling block has always been how to edit together content and video and put it online in a simple way. Present.me solves that problem. You can communicate your idea, knowledge or message to anyone online, while giving your audience the ability to consume it in their own time. It’s low cost, easy and incredibly engaging.”
The platform was launched in beta during April 2011 by the founders (two ex-actors, a presentation designer and an internet veteran) who together have over 100 years of communication coaching and consulting experience between them, working with everyone from individuals to global blue chip companies.
Since that time, with no PR or marketing, 8,000 users have already registered and the site receives around 70,000 visits a month.
Present.me users can sign-up for three different account options:
• Free – three presentations a month, one private, 15 minutes each
• Plus ($9 p/m) – 30 presentations, 60 minutes each, unlimited private presentations
• Pro ($39 p/m) – unlimited presentations, 60 minutes each
• Corporate and educational pricing is available on request
Spencer concludes, “Obviously, we live in an on-demand world. With so much information out there, we want to consume content at a time that suits us. Making this content stand out, if it isn’t presented live, is therefore crucial. We think Present.me is a real step forward for anyone who wants to be in the vanguard of communicating better online.”
The business is being funded privately at this stage. For more information and to sign-up for a free account click here.
