评分第一名:BuzzFeed
原文:BuzzFeed
BuzzFeed is a New York-based Internet media company founded in 2006 by the entrepreneur Jonah Peretti.
BuzzFeed是一家位于纽约的互联网媒体公司,由企业家Jonah Peretti于2006年创办。
Known for its highly shareable news posts, quizzes, and its signature "listicles," BuzzFeed has grown to include 11 editions--from Australia to Mexico--and has raised $300 million in capital as of January 2016.
得益于极具分享性的新闻报道,问答比赛以及鲜明的“主题列表”风格,使BuzzFeed为大众所熟知,已经推出包括从澳大利亚到墨西哥的11个地方版本,截至2016年1月已经募集资本3亿美元。
But while it continues to dazzle the world with cat GIFs and funny lists, BuzzFeed has also transferred its specific brand of virality to deep political coverage, personal and critical essays, and breaking and in-depth global news.
但是,当BuzzFeed用各种猫的Gif图和有趣的新闻来让大家追逐的同时,还把它这种独特的病毒式品牌传播带到了深度的政治报道、个人化和批判性的文章,以及突发的和深入的全球新闻中。
To accomplish that pivot, BuzzFeed has thrown its weight behind social media, which delivers 75% of its traffic.
为了成为新闻传播的中心点,BuzzFeed已经将重心放在社交媒体上,其为BuzzFeed提供了75%的流量。
In 2015, it launched on Snapchat Discover, which now garners 21% of its traffic--nearly a third of its total readership.
2015年,BuzzFeed 推出了Snapchat Discover ,现在已获得其21%的流量,近三分之一的读者群。
注:
Snapchat Discover,是Snapchat推出的媒体内容推送服务。向用户推送BuzzFeed、CNN、《每日邮报》、ESPN、赫斯特集团(《Cosmopolitan》杂志)、《国家地理》等公司出品的视频、图片和文章等信息,并在其中加入收费广告,同出版商共同分享广告收入。
And the brand has a growing presence in video, too (a "S'mores Dip" tutorial in 2015 snagged 123 million views on Facebook).
BuzzFeed的品牌在视频领域的影响也越来越大(2015年的“S'mores Dip”教程在Facebook上获得了1.23亿的观看次数)。
S'mores,有时又叫做smore,是流行于美国和加拿大的夜间篝火聚会的常见食物,通常组成是:中间是一块棉花糖和一块巧克力,上下被两块饼干包着.在美国,每年的8月10日是national smore day.
With an almost protean ability to reinvent itself and plenty of outside investment (most recently, an infusion of $200 million from NBC Universal in 2015), BuzzFeed will look to continue evolving as it scales, potentially pursuing an IPO.
千变万化地自我改造能力和充足的外部投资(最近,2015年NBC Universal注资2亿美元),BuzzFeed将期待不断扩大规模持续发展,争取IPO。
