Founded in 1998, Mediashaker has created ShoutCMS, a website publishing tool (content management system) designed specifically for small businesses. Mediashaker works with clients and resellers to develop effective internet strategies by combining website, social media, and traditional marketing channels. Mediashaker is expanding its existing customer base through a reseller channel that consists of designers and business communicators.

Started: Company founded in 1998.Mission: Simplify technology and make it fun. Services: Website design, internet marketing, e-commerce, graphics and writing.

Products: ShoutCMS is a full-featured website publishing tool (content management system) designed specifically for small and medium businesses. Its page designer, ecommerce and contact management tools simplify the development and management of complex ecommerce sites. “Use ShoutCMS when your business has outgrown WordPress”, says Patrick Binns, Mediashaker’s COO. “It provides an integrated solution that is simple to install and easy to use.”

ShoutCMS is designed for communicators with limited HTML experience. The easy to use publishing tool allows businesses to control the content that supports their core messaging. Communicators developing these messages are no longer dependent on web designers to publish the materials – the turn-around time is dramatically reduced.

ShoutCMS is sold directly online at ShoutCMS.com and through resellers and design companies.

Objectives:The objective at Mobile World Congress (MWC) is to build liaisons to recruit resellers for ShoutCMS. At the same time, we intend to extend awareness of ShoutCMS to Canadian export developers. ShoutCMS has 600 users (business). Mediashaker has been mainly focused on product development and is now looking for ways to promote the product. MWC 2015 is a preliminary liaison in preparation for a late spring launch.

We would like to meet Canadian export supporters and organizations that can assist with promoting ShoutCMS through a global campaign.
