Not sure why the link didn’t work. But this was the story to go with the finfeed post from twitter in dec 2015:

A sponsorship agreement between Big Un Limited (ASX:BIG and First Class Capital (FCC) has been tailored to meet the potential financial needs of Big Review TV(BRTV)’s 13000-plus small to medium enterprise membership base.

The deal is expected to provide BIG with a new revenue stream and is the first of the company’s additional revenue streams beyond its traditional small business video services.

The deal gives BIG members access to FCC’s specialist finance products.

First Class Capital is a technology focused non-bank provider of cash flow solutions to small business. They recently launched Retail Merchant Advance, a new finance product designed specifically to assist small businesses manage their cash flow.

Selected BRTV members will be offered sponsorship by BIG in return for agreeing to FCC including their pre-roll advertising branding within BIG members’ video content.

The pre-roll advertisement is the ad you see before you watch a You Tube video. It is used mainly to raise awareness and partly to drive website traffic. It can also be used for lead generation.

The sponsorship agreement between BIG and FCC will first target Australian small businesses before looking at international members as the business video production company continues to build its presence in the overseas market.

The deal effectively provides Big Unlimited with advertising/sponsorship revenue.

BIG founder Brandon Evertz said they company was delighted with the sponsorship agreement as it opens more doors for its members.

“Big Review TV is committed to bringing value to our growing membership base. Sponsorship via First Class Capital brings value to both our members and to Big Review TV as a partner,” said BIG founder Brandon Evertz.

BIG has three revenue pillars. The first is for video production which has been the focus for much of 2015. As this has stabilised the company has broadened its focus.

“We are now in the process of introducing additional SME digital product offerings to this pillar. Further, as we’re achieving critical mass with our volume of rich video content, we are activating revenue streams in the second pillar of our business model and are set to monetise our growing bank of video assets through select advertising and sponsorship opportunities. We intend to activate pillar three revenue streams during the second half of 2016. Our business model has many exciting revenue streams to continue our strong growth into 2016 and beyond,” Evertz concluded.

CEO of FCC Brad Prout said the deal is a win-win for all concerned parties.

“Big Review TV have the attentive ear of small businesses through their unique video offering. Our sponsorship agreement with BRTV members allows us to support small businesses whilst simultaneously promoting our finance products. We have finance solutions perfectly suited to retail businesses. Business owners can establish a credit facility with us without the need for property security and make repayments that vary with their future card based sales.”

The sponsorship agreement is conservatively estimated to generate additional revenue for BIG of over $300,000 by the end March Q 2016
