Glasgow City Marketing Bureau (GCMB), VisitScotland (VS) and VisitBritain (VB) have recently announced the launch of a dedicated digital newsroom for UK and International media, which will support the Destination Media Hub (DMH) facility operating at the iconic IET Glasgow: Teacher Building during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
With the eyes of the world on the city as it gears up for its biggest year to-date, this online portal will be a dedicated space where all 2014 accredited media - as well as other bonafide UK and international consumer, lifestyle, features, news, sports, business and digital media - can source any information they require on Glasgow, Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Users will have online access to the latest travel and destination news, rich multimedia content - including HD B-Roll and high-res imagery - plus a range of exciting media offers, fact sheets and other useful resources.
The portal has been developed for the three partners by Glasgow-based agency Radiator Digital and is accompanied by a dedicated Twitter feed @mediahub2014. The registration process is quick and simple, and media are invited to sign-up via www.destinationmediahub.com for access to the newsroom as well as being able to apply for accreditation for the actual DMH facility.
Conveniently located in St Enoch Square, in the very heart of Glasgow city centre, the DMH will operate from Sunday, July 20 to Monday, August 4 between 8am and 8pm. It will serve as a 'one-stop shop' for visiting UK and international press and broadcasters with facilities including:
- Destination information on Glasgow, Scotland and the UK.
- 125-seat auditorium.
- Large working press area.
- Wi-Fi access.
- Wireless printing.
- Media conference spaces.
- Press interview zones.
- Bookable fixed camera positions.
