WDA signs two-year exclusive deal with EncodeOne

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31 - EncodeOne, a Los Angeles based encoding services provider, announces new two-year commitment from Winston Davis & Associates (WDA), a marketing & advertising agency specializing in domestic and international motion picture trailers.

Jason McConnell, President & CEO of EncodeOne says of the relationship, "Our relationship with WDA is based on being their 'Digital Experts' for their studio trailer work. WDA's clients want the best quality available, and we believe we are providing just that."
