Plentitube is an online agency that connects television networks with the best original content on the web, creating an agile and innovative new programming paradigm.
Plentitube's platform allows users to create Electronic Press Kits (EPKs) around their video content that has been uploaded to any video portal. Users can provide specialized information about their video content, such as production status, format, or specific genre so that it can be matched with the specific needs of buyers from the entertainment industry. Plentitube users will also have access to Requests For Proposals (RFPs) from networks seeking various types of programming and can directly respond using EPKs of their videos and series.

The entertainment industry is in flux. The proliferation of broadcast-quality video online has created an unprecedented opportunity to discover privately produced content originating from a global network of professional producers, directors, and talent. Plentitube is proud to have built the first platform that facilitates the discovery, development, and acquisition of these valuable media properties.
Founders
Plentitube was founded by Talia Pulver and Jon Labes, accomplished filmmakers and producers who spent their careers at the intersection of old and new media, experiencing first-hand the disconnect between what new technologies allowed and what traditional industry architecture engendered. It became their mission to create a systemized way to connect the best original content and concepts, wherever they may originate, with established and respected distributors.
Talia has been an innovator at the forefront of digital media creation and distribution since 2001. She began implementing large-scale, technology driven strategies while consulting at the British Broadcasting Corporation throughout the UK with Rosenblum Associates, transitioning the BBC network model and training hundreds digital video literacy and technique. Talia went on to play a leading role in the development of the Digital Media Initiative at Erickson Retirement Communities, resulting in the creation of Retirement Living TV, currently available in over 29 million homes nationwide through Comcast and DirectTV. A critically acclaimed filmmaker and cum laude graduate of New York University, Talia has produced prime-time television programming, web content, and promotional campaigns for clients such as ABC, Discovery Network, Plum TV, Titan TV, Microsoft, Nokia, Anheuser Busch, Ralph Lauren, UGO.com and Maxim Magazine Online.

Jon has focused on pioneering web video since 2005. He designed and ran the production of "Wallstrip," a daily webshow which CBS purchased for $5 million in 2007, marking the first acquisition of an internet-based original series. Since, Jon has continued to develop original content properties designed for internet, mobile, and television distribution both independently as well as for NBC, MSN, and TitanTV.
