10 Years of success in streaming: StreamUK become UK market leaders
London based online media experts StreamUK has reported 30% growth in 2010 and took another floor at the company’s HQ in Camden Town.
Following the success within the British market, StreamUK now has offices in Madrid and Rome, a response to growing enquiries from Europe.
StreamUK CEO Duncan Burbidge links the success to the company’s three core platforms; StreamConnect for webcasting, StreamMP for website video and Stream CrowdSourcer for transcoding and distribution.
“We have witnessed countless industry changes over the last decade, mostly relating to technological progress and new demands in corporate communication. We have worked extremely hard to create three comprehensive products that embrace these demands”
Predicting 35% growth for 2011, the company always reinvests profits. Some of StreamUK’s current key clients include Liverpool FC; the BBC, The Guardian Media Group, Shell, EFSA, Capita, Argos, Barclays and Unilever.
Yesterday Stream UK streamed British hypnotist Chris Hughes live weight loss webcast for World Hypnotism Day. It was also the first webcast to help people lose weight.
The Socialtrance weight loss session consisted of a 15 minute online webcast hosted by Stream UK. The hypnosis audio download is available from ITunes and other leading online music providers.
Last night at Union Chapel Stream UK did the satellite, vision mixing, encoding and engineering for the Everything Everything gig which was broadcast live to the web, and also via an iPhone and iPad App!
The whole show was broadcast live in HD to Apple iPad and iPhone users via a free artist-branded app entitled ‘Man Alive – Everything Everything: Live at Union Chapel’.
Everything Everything singerJonathan Higgs said of the broadcast: “We wanted to try something unique. The concert sold out and we wanted to do something special for fans who couldn’t get tickets. We couldn’t hijack a TV channel but now we can play live to people on the bus, or wherever they want to hear it.”
The band played alongside a 13-piece orchestra at the show.
Today at 6.30pm Stream UK will be encoding a live feed for the webcast of Sarah Phillips’ Single Launch. Sarah Phillips’ ‘Say it’s Possible’ music single is being launched to raise money for cervical cancer research.
The single aims to raise funds for Debbie Fund, a charity set up in memory of Sarah’s mum Debbie, who died of Cervical Cancer on 11th February 2010.
During the progression of Debbie’s disease, it became apparent that there was no dedicated research into a drug treatment specifically for Cervical Cancer, and so, of the numerous friends whom Debbie had, a group of us have come together with her family to raise sufficient funds to ensure that the necessary research can be carried out by a team of scientists at University College London.
So far, Debbie Fund has raised just under £460,000 in the form of cash received and pledges.
Sarah hopes to raise even more through her EP Say it’s Possible.
Stream UK will be streaming online the Armistice Day event in London and Swansea live online.

So join the public in Trafalgar Square in London and Castle Square in Swansea on Thursday 11 November for a moment of silence.
The event in London’s Trafalgar Square will involve a host of special guests to help honour our fallen Service people and to remember those serving today. This annual event will again be hosted by television presenter Ben Shephard, with music from The Saturdays, Blake and The London Gospel Choir, and readings by Keeley Hawes and Ben Barnes.
A bugler will be performing the Last Post and Reveille in both locations to mark the start and end of the Two Minute Silence.
