Monks, the global, purely digital, data-driven, unitary operating brand of S4 Capital plc, and Tagboard, modern interactive graphics systems for live events and broadcast, are excited to announce a strategic partnership aimed at transforming the media and entertainment landscape. The partnership will leverage a joint go-to-market strategy, combining Tagboard’s cloud-based live graphics system with Monks Technology Services’ expertise in modernizing broadcast infrastructure as a leader in providing cutting-edge technology solutions for the media and entertainment industry.
Through this collaboration, Tagboard’s advanced graphics capabilities will seamlessly integrate with Monks’ next-gen broadcast infrastructure solutions within the company’s proprietary AI-centric solution Monks.Flow––enabling media companies to create dynamic, interactive content while streamlining their operational workflows. Both companies, backed by a deep Amazon Web Services (AWS) partnership, believe these key components represent the next generation of professional content creation for broadcasters, streamers, event and gameday storytellers.
“Monks’ partnership with Tagboard helps us push the boundaries of what’s possible in live content creation across the media and entertainment ecosystem,” said Lewis Smithingham, SVP of Strategic Industries at Monks. “By combining Tagboard’s innovative video graphics system with our broadcast infrastructure expertise, we can provide media companies with a holistic solution that not only enhances content creation, but also optimizes their technical operations to meet the demands of a rapidly changing landscape.”
