Adidas.TV Goes Hulu Route
Portability is key as athletic footwear giant seeks to seed its video content across the Web
The Adidas-branded video service, slated to roll out starting this
week, lives at its own Internet hub. But in a nod to the vogue for
sharing online content, it is designed to spread Adidas video
across the Web.
Adidas.TV is designed as a global hub for video content produced by
the athletic footwear giant and its partners, and the broadband
site boasts channels devoted to specific sports. It also has an
"Originals" channel of shorts created by Adidas. The venue aims to
begin with a library of 75 videos and quickly ramp up to
hundreds.
"The point is less about getting people to the site," said Stein.
"It's more about getting the content to the people."
