The video landscape is evolving. Social networks are putting a hyper focus on online video: YouTube has grown to more than 1.3 billion users watching 5 billion videos daily; Facebook averages eight billion daily views from over 500 million viewers; and 82 percent of Twitter users watch video content on Twitter. According to new Brightcove research, video is rising in popularity with consumers on social networks: 67 percent of users are increasing their consumption of social video and 75 percent make decisions based on the videos they watch.
This is clearly a major opportunity, but with every opportunity comes a challenge. The challenge with social video is how to effectively manage publishing workflows across many of social accounts and consolidate analytics across them to understand performance. Each channel has different information required for a post, different metadata for management, different interface for users, different levels of user permissions/access, and different sets of analytics and metrics. It’s a lot to manage.
That’s where Brightcove Social comes in. At Brightcove, we have built a product that streamlines the social video publishing workflow and aggregates analytics across social networks so you can comprehensively understand performance.
