SeeSaw Networks, a leading digital place-based media company, today announced that it has inked a content agreement with Om Records, a San Francisco based music and Lifestyle Company. As a result of this agreement, Seesaw will air exclusive content such as artist interviews and backstage footage through its extensive place-based media network.

As a part of this agreement, SeeSaw Networks and Om Records will produce a short-form video series entitled “Backstage Pass” featuring interviews, behind the scenes, footage and music video clips from its featured artists, capturing the quirkiness of bands at their soundchecks. SeeSaw will exclusively distribute the show through its vast place-based media network.

I am very excited to partner with Om Records to bring such high value branded content to our network”.

We are thrilled about our agreement with them”, said Chris Smith, CEO Om Entertainment Group. “This relationship will not only allow us to create some very exciting backstage content for SeeSaw, but it will also provide increased exposure to our artists and to our record label”.
