History

The Company was founded in 2006 in the Chicago area by Robin Rutledge (EVP-Content Acquisition), Jay Blomquist (CTO) and a highly experienced group of film, television and Internet professionals to help video content holders efficiently move their archived video assets into a searchable, retrievable and monetizable digital environment. The Company was in development mode in 2007, began sales efforts in 2008, expanded its management team in 2009 (to include a new CEO, COO/CFO and EVP-Sales & Marketing to help scale up the business), and today, is rapidly increasing its client base with an impressive base of brand-name companies, including Deluxe, Getty Images, ITN, National Geographic, WGBH and others. To date, MediaRecall’s management and colleagues have privately funded the Company with multi-millions of dollars of invested capital.
