(New York, NY) – ParOne – the popular syndicator of golf videos to golf apps and websites globally – has expanded its presence in Asia with the addition of the Deemples golf app.
The dominant matchmaker for golfers to find playing partners and book tee times mainly in Malaysia and surrounding countries, thanks to ParOne, Deemples users now view interesting, informative and entertaining golf videos inside the app and website.
ParOne burst on the golf media scene last year, assembling a massive global distribution network that includes many of the world’s most engaging golf apps and websites reaching more than 15 million unique monthly users. In modernizing how original and sponsored, non-live videos and live tournament broadcasts are posted, distributed, accessed and consumed, ParOne is expected to soon become the world’s largest connected golf media network.
The automated ParOne model is simple:
- Content producers upload their golf videos to the ParOne engine for distribution to golf apps and websites globally.
- Content recipients select which golf videos in the ParOne engine they want to editorially feature in their golf apps and on their websites.
Each type of participant generates greater awareness, engagement, SEO and revenue for brands.
Video topics include tournament broadcasts and highlight reels, and video segments covering golf competitions, instruction, courses and resorts, travel, products and human-interest stories. ParOne automatically translates content in more than 10 native languages.
“Video engagement outperforms static content by close to 95%,” says JR Charles, CEO of ParOne. “Coupled with 15 million active monthly golfers in our network, brands are partnering with ParOne in droves to substantially increase reach of their content.”
“App managers need to keep their downloaders consistently involved and prevent deletion of apps,” says David Wong, Founder and CEO of Deemples, whose “Never Golf Alone” campaign resonates mightily among golf communities. “Serving Deemples users with golf videos inside our app keeps them engaged beyond their desires to find playing partners and reserve tee times.”
ParOne’s offering aligns with golf’s participation surge and consumption trends. The number of golfers rose by 600,000 golfers to 37.5 million in 2021 with growth evenly split evenly between on- and off-course. On the business front, 23% of sports media budgets are shifting from traditional content delivery mechanisms to streaming and syndication.
