VideoJug, (http://www.videojug.com) the world's most popular video learning site announces its first major international licensing deal with Agora, Poland's leading media group.

Agora, which boasts over 50 internet brands and 17 million unique users per month across these sites, will initially localise several hundred VideoJug films into Polish and then distribute them across their vertical web properties, including Gazeta.pl (http://www.gazeta.pl), a leading portal visited by almost 45% of Polish web users. Agora will also potentially syndicate the localised films to other local web properties.

For VideoJug, the partnership verifies the international demand for high quality, professionally produced learning and instructional video content. VideoJug will be capitalising on this demand by syndicating elements of its 40,000 film library to international media groups.

Tomasz Józefacki, head of Agora's Internet Division: "We're very excited to be working with VideoJug. We believe the opportunity for professionally made How to content is unexploited in Poland. Working with VideoJug was a natural choice as their library of content is vast and because of the quality, the films will be easy to localize for the Polish market and will be attractive for our advertisers."

Nancy Cruickshank, Global CEO, VideoJug: "Partnering with such a well established company as Agora is great news for VideoJug. By doing so, we are extending the reach of our knowledge network into new markets, reacting to the international demand for good quality, non fictional, short-form web ready content. Our content has been shot in HD and is specifically designed to enable rapid localisation, so international media groups can generate revenues rapidly from our library. Online video is becoming a hugely exciting and dynamic market and VideoJug will continue to be at the forefront of this."
