Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will operate a unified workflow encompassing all aspects of digital distribution to broadcast, streaming, mobile, internet and gaming platforms. 2G Digital will manage encoding, transcoding, asset management, quality control and delivery. JR Media will handle captioning, subtitling, translation, localization, transcription and related services.  The companies will also join forces in their sales and marketing activities.

2G Digital CEO Stephen Buchsbaum says the partnership is a natural fit and results in a streamlined solution for digital distribution. “2G and JR Media provide complementary services and, together, we are making distribution simpler for our clients,” he says. “They now have the convenience of working with one supplier for all their packing and delivery needs.”

Both companies have recently experienced significant growth and see in the joint venture a path toward further expansion. “Our clients are looking for a partner who can provide an end-to-end solution,” says JR Media chairman/CEO Max Beno. “Our partnership with 2G enables us to meet those needs and continue to reach new markets for future growth.”

2G Digital provides encoding and distribution services for all the major studios, including Fox, Sony, Warner Bros., Walt Disney, Fremantle Media and Miramax, and delivers to such portals as iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, Google Play and Xbox.  JR Media works with many of the same clients. It has recently provided subtitling and captioning services for such top-rated television shows as Breaking Bad (Sony), Mad Men (Lionsgate) and Duck Dynasty (Gourney Productions.).
