Digital Juice, Inc was an American company providing royalty-free content for professional video, print, and presentations. The company sold packaged content products direct to customers. Digital Juice was founded in 1992 and was originally based out of Ocala, Florida.[1] Digital Juice has its office in Florida.[2]
History
The company was founded in 1992 by David Hebel[3] under the name Dimension Technologies Media Group as a developer of third-party products for the Video Toaster. In 1995 the company released Club Toaster which was a monthly CD-ROM based product for the Amiga. The product contained animated backgrounds, still graphics, music, photos, articles, and product reviews. By 1997 Dimension Technologies was looking to move from developing for the Amiga and instead focus on Windows and Mac based content. The company renamed itself in 1997 to Digital Juice after the release of their first non-Amiga based product, Digital Juice for PowerPoint.[4]
In 2003, Digital Juice introduced their own online network called Digital Juice Television. At first it was limited to simple product demos and trade show coverage, but was expanded in early 2006 to include several new series involving tutorials and training videos.[5]
In October 2007, Digital Juice finalized acquisition of The Ballistic Pixel Labs.[6]
In January, 2024, Digital Juice announced the closure of the website following the death of David Hebel with this posted to the website: "On November 24th, 2023, the founder and creative spirit of Digital Juice, David Hebel, passed away. It is, therefore, with a deep sadness and heavy heart that, after 25 years of leading the way in royalty-free content creation, Digital Juice has permanently closed its doors. We want to thank you, our customers and friends, for your tremendous support, enthusiasm, and loyalty over the decades."
