Trevor Doerksen, CEO of Mobovivo, a Calgary-based video app developer, says simply: “Over-communicate, overstate and oversimplify.” With small teams working remotely, he says, one must be extremely clear about objectives and roles, and frequently verify that everyone is clear on who is managing a project and what criteria are used to tell when a project is finished.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying - The App Store Edition

2011-08-30T06:57:00.000-07:00

“Dear reader, this little book is designed to tell you everything you need to know about the science of getting ahead. Now let us assume you are young, healthy, clear eyed and eager; anxious to rise quickly and easily to the top of the business world- You Can! If you have education, and intelligence and ability so much the better- and remember that thousands have reached the top without many of these qualities. Just have courage and memorize the simple rules in the chapters that follow.”

- Opening Lines of: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Broadway

Last week in New York City I got a lesson in business from Harry Potter’s, Daniel Radcliffe playing J. Peirrepont Finch in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In this adaptation of the 1952 book of the same name, Daniel Radcliffe rises the corporate ladder from the lowly window-washer to the mail room and to the chairman of the board in one week. How did Radcliffe’s character, climb so fast? Well, he had a guide book and just followed the simple rules in the “little book”.

The play is highly relateable to anybody who ever had a job, but I ended up reflecting on how the lowly app developer can climb to the top of the corporate ladder, in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying - App Store Edition. I’m not quite ready to publish the guidebook yet, but I do hope to dispel some myths.

First things first. Why do apps matter?

iTunes App Store is a $2.5B marketplace today and Apps are estimated to be a $36.7B marketplace in 2015 (Apps Statsbook 2011).

Mobovivo Launches New Products and Brand

2011-07-13T22:56:00.000-07:00

Mobovivo has recently launched its new website and brand - Just Watch. At the Banff TV Festival in June we also launched to new beta products - Previiw and Social Stream.

Previiw and Social Stream are app marketing tools to support video app distribution for web, iOS, Samsung, Android, Playbook, and Roku. Previiw allows clipping and sharing of videos and Social Stream brings a broadcasters or media companies web assets to surround and sync with video on iOS. Together, MiScreens ingests, manages, publishes and distributes video content; Previiw and Social Stream help our customers apps get discovered.

The user experience is second to none. Just ask for a demo and you will see why video apps make more money, deliver better brand experience, and get users spending more time with your content than plain-old VOD (POVOD).

Video apps are rapidly replacing DVDs as the preferred purchase and viewing platform. Video apps are a key enabler for the future of magazines and newspapers. Mobovivo is far ahead of the video app competition in ease of use, monetization, management, publishing options, viral marketing features, quality, maintenance and support. In fact some of the biggest competitors won't even launch their video app platforms until later this year. And they will be simply focused on distribution - marketing features like Previiw and Social Stream are exclusive to Mobovivo.
