VSTLND & Vimond - Pioneering Local Streaming

Embracing Local Identity through Advanced Streaming Technology

In December 2024, VSTLND, affectionately known as "The Local Stream," embarked on an ambitious project to create a streaming service that reflects the unique culture, business landscape, and community spirit of Vestland County in Norway. With the support of Vimond's advanced streaming technology, TV VSTLND was launched to offer a "Vestflix" experience, providing a platform where local stories are celebrated and shared widely.

Challenge: Amplifying Local Voices

VSTLND recognised the need to amplify Vestland County's local stories. The region boasts a vibrant culture and dynamic business community that had been underrepresented in mainstream media. VSTLND aimed to change this by creating a dedicated streaming service that would serve as a central hub for local content, enhancing community engagement and regional pride.

Solution: Leveraging Vimond's Streaming Expertise

By selecting Vimond's technology, VSTLND was able to develop a robust platform tailored to its vision. The service includes:

• Streamlined Content Delivery: Vimond's powerful video content management tools allow VSTLND to efficiently organise and stream diverse content, from local business highlights to cultural events.
• Community Engagement Features: The platform facilitates interaction between local businesses, cultural organisations, and residents, strengthening community bonds.
• Customised Viewing Experience: Viewers enjoy a curated selection of content that resonates with their local interests and experiences, all presented in a user-friendly interface designed in VSTLND’s branded style.

Key Benefits: Strengthening Community and Business Ties

The introduction of TV VSTLND has brought numerous advantages:

• Enhanced Local Visibility: Businesses and cultural entities in Vestland now have a platform to showcase their stories and contributions, gaining visibility and support from the local community.
• Increased Engagement: The platform's focus on local content has fostered a deeper connection between residents and Vestland's regional identity.
• Economic and Cultural Growth: By highlighting local businesses and cultural events, TV VSTLND stimulates economic activity and cultural appreciation within the region.

Future Outlook: Expanding the Local Narrative

Elisabet Kolbrun Hansen of VSTLND comments on the project's success: "With Vimond's platform, we can unite the stories of our region—whether they come from business, culture, or everyday life. Local businesses play a crucial role in job creation and a sustainable future. VSTLND's new platform, powered by Vimond, enables us to highlight these efforts and amplify the positive developments in the region."
