T3Media (formerly Thought Equity Motion) offers cloud-based storage, access, and licensing for enterprise-scale video libraries. Its technology platform and services enable media owners to generate new value from their content while managing cost and complexity. Through its licensing platform and global sales force, the company licenses sports, news, and creative footage to producers in advertising, entertainment, publishing, and emerging media. In April 2012, the company changed its name from Thought Equity Motion to T3Media to represent the three core tenets of the business: storage, access and licensing.

T3Media works with global media companies, including BBC Motion Gallery, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, National Geographic, The New York Times, and the NCAA®.

Kevin Schaff, founder and CEO of T3Media, established the business in 2003 and is responsible for overall strategy and business development across the company’s two business lines—Platform and Licensing.

Platform
T3Media’s Platform provides a range of video storage, access and licensing services for large-scale sports, news, and entertainment libraries. T3Media helps video rights owners monetize their archives through its footage Licensing storefront. Through its Web-based T3 Library Manager product, clients can search, preview, and deliver content in any format.

Licensing
T3Media’s footage Licensing storefront provides a wide range of sports, news, entertainment and creative footage for producers in advertising, entertainment, publishing and emerging media. Users can search, preview, and purchase content on t3licensing.com, or work with a sales representative or research specialist. The company offers its Licensing customers an array of services, including project management, research, Footage Assurance, and Rights & Clearances.
