“Clay is a senior technology leader with a wealth of experience in engineering and loves working with engineers on their solutions. I hired Clay in mid-2022 as a VP of Engineering at Unite Us to lead the build out the search platform given his depth and breadth of knowledge of search technologies. He hired and built up the teams that would become foundational to future growth. In 2023, he led the company's largest strategic initiative - the successful integration of functionality and migration of customers from an acquired company. In addition to leading his teams, Clay was part of my senior technology leadership team and played an active role in helping to shape the direction. He proposed new ideas, helped to develop them into programs, took ownership for various things that needed an owner and provided feedback on other's ideas. Lastly, I appreciated his candor and pushback when my ideas were not as good as he wasn't afraid to speak up.”

This provides broadcasters a way to keep their broadcast products relevant for today's consumers, increase ratings, and increase revenue.
Products such as chewing gum, band-aids, credit cards, broadcast television shows, music album launches, and pro sports need a robust, always-on consumer sharing feature inside their own product experience to improve the consumer experience and drive growth. This disclosed technology allows broadcasters to use a white-label consumer sharing experience dropped into programming through a vanity URL or other logical address displayed as a digital onscreen image ("broadcast bug") during a show. lt provides the consumer audience with seamless content creation including compelling branded filters. Consumers then share across any and all third-party social and messaging platforms. Broadcasters have complete brand-safety and control with moderation capabilities. The broadcaster uses an interface to see all content the consumer audience creates in real-time and instantly moderates, curates, and allows spot media to be immediately created for use within the broadcast show, broadcast commercial, and/or streamed media.Other inventorsSee patent -
