Penté Group developed a desktop widget for The Gazette

2010-02-16T12:05:00.000-08:00

Penté Group has developed a desktop widget for The Gazette, Montreal’s oldest daily.

Penté Group is an interactive agency based in Montreal specializing in cross platform application development and new media technologies .

“I think I speak for everyone at Pente Group when I say how excited we are to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing and prestigious brand as The Gazette and to be a part of their digital evolution,” says Basil Bouraropoulos, Chairman & CEO of Montreal-based Penté Group. “We are very pleased about being given this opportunity as we believe we can help the newspaper expand their presence in the digital world and capture new audiences.”

Penté Group’s mandate was to create an interactive desktop application that will expand The Gazette’s market presence in the online world. The widget will allow users to view the latest news and specific headlines in the areas of interest they prefer, while also having the ability to search the entire Gazette database through the widget. The key objective of the widget is to help drive more traffic to montrealgazette.com and to offer an ever evolving solution that will easily link to the most popular platforms out available in today’s digital marketplace .

The Gazette is one of the oldest newspapers on the North American continent. Today, the Gazette is the dominant medium for reaching Montreal’s large English market. The high fragmentation and duplication of radio, TV, magazines and weekly newspapers makes The Gazette, with its large, loyal readership, the most desirable choice for advertisers. Throughout the week, 70% of Montreal’s English population reads The Gazette.
