Fifteen Seconds Festival
(first public appearance on 08.06.2017)

We are convinced that for many people connect represents the realization of a long-awaited dream: cross-device and cross-provider, data-secure communication in an individualizable social network that can also be fully experienced in virtual reality. connect also appeals to people who didn't like social networks, messenger services or apps before, because the intuitive, familiar presentation of all functions through photorealistic 3D replicas (e.g. a camera with which you can take photos) makes it extremely easy to enter this new world.

Whether technology fan or critic: virtual reality, startup, social network, apps, data protection and communication - these are all catchwords that attract the attention of many people.

If you can imagine that your readers, viewers or listeners are interested in the latest developments and the future of the social network - among other things because connect is free of charge and is published worldwide - then we would be very thankful for reporting about us!

Here you will find all official press releases from connect. When you sign up to our newsletter, you will automatically receive an email when there is news from us. Please write us a short request to media@4connect-e.com so that we can register you. We are grateful for all media coverage!

In addition to the short description in our email, you will find our first official press release here. This summarizes the most important aspects of our company and project.

Until September 15th, everyone can support us on our Kickstarter campaign and receive highly limited, exclusive in-app extensions as a reward. More information on our Kickstarter page and in the press release (see above).

In this section we will, over time, provide more and more press texts, which will be of different lengths and have a different writing style or focus. You can use them as building blocks for your reporting, as a suggestion or as a quotation source. We recommend that you do not take the texts word for word because there is the risk that another medium will publish the same content as you do – but the decision is of course up to you. You will find a lot of additional texts and information on this page.

In our press login area we will also publish exclusive content, e.g. interviews, pictures, photos, new information, announcements or text building blocks (if you have not received the access codes via e-mail you can request them from us). Downloading from this section will be limited to a few copies (usually only one) for each continent and is only intended for the media who download it first and guarantee publication within a certain period of time.

This very briefly summarized text highlights the most important characteristics of connect in just 280 words. A shorter version is not possible – after all, connect has so many new features that you need a description of more than just a few sentences to give an adequate representation of the overall vision. Combined with images or videos, this summary gives the reader a rough idea of what to expect in their new virtual home.

This medium-sized press text (about 760 words) summarizes the most important characteristics of connect, with numerous quotations and vivid examples. It highlights the recurring themes through out connect, from the "social network with data protection" to tackling the biggest challenge for newcomers (too few users at the beginning) by means of our multi-messenger, the huge target group due to the intuitive operation and the building block system, the customization possibilities which lead to so many product placement opportunities, the virtual pets as an example of in-app purchases and the comprehensive multi-media possibilities. It ends with an appeal to believe in the connect-based vision, to use what is presumably the best chance for years, to finally establish a product with European values.

This is a roughly 3-page editorial article (about 1420 words), it opens with the subject of data protection and the situation with Facebook and other, more secure, social networks and leads to the solution connect can offer. It deals with the topics of multi-messenger, individualization, the modular system, financing through product placement and the long-term vision to be a digital life network, which bundles all digital content in one single software package. The article rounds up with numerous quotes and comparisons.

Coming up with headlines and catchlines is fun. And because it's just as much fun for us as for you, we have thought of some suggestions. These range from informative and serious to sensational and even a bit audacious – but those who want the headlines have to be prepared to come up with some unusual, attention-grabbing headlines. Thanks to the flood of social media posts this is getting more and more difficult.
