Blackbird lifted on new partnership

AIM-listed video software firm Blackbird (LON:BIRD) has seen its share price rise by 4.93% to 18.10p (as of 14:20 BST) after it provided services for the US Democratic National Convention last week. The company worked with Live X to allow them to rapidly edit and publish video content on multiple platforms.

CEO Ian McDonough said: “Our new partnership with Live X is exciting in two ways. Firstly, it is focused on live workflows and that’s very much in the sweet spot of where Blackbird offers the most competitive advantages through speed, agility and quality. Secondly it’s an OEM model where Blackbird is trusted to deliver on some of the world’s most relevant content, like the Democratic National Convention, as part of Live X’s technology stack“.
