CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- HubSpot, a leading growth platform,
announced today the general availability of HubSpot Video, a series of new features available across the entire HubSpot platform designed to help companies
grow their business through video. The new features include video hosting, in-video calls-to-action and forms, a simple video
creation tool, and more, and are designed to help growing businesses leverage video in a more personal, authentic, and positive
way.
"People love video, and increasingly we're seeing them gravitate towards video content that is more authentic and personal.
Casual social video stories are becoming the go-to for consumers and brands alike, representing a huge shift for businesses that
have historically approached video as a one-to-many broadcast channel with a big budget and complex production," said
Kipp Bodnar, CMO of HubSpot. "With HubSpot Video, our goal is to equip every salesperson,
marketer, and support representative with the tools they need to create quick, one-to-one videos that have the same personal
qualities we've all come to love in an Instagram Story."
When it comes to video content from brands, authenticity is key – 86% of people say authenticity is important when deciding which brands they like and support. HubSpot Video helps
growing businesses tap into that trend through new video analytics and creation tools designed to help teams create content that
resonates and elevate their video strategy across the entire business. With HubSpot Video:
- Marketers can now host and manage video files inside of HubSpot for free. Users can embed those videos into website
pages, blogs, and social media channels with just one click, and add in-video calls-to-action and forms to make videos
interactive. New tools like video-triggered workflows and new video analytics help maximize the impact of video marketing
campaigns.
- Salespeople can build stronger relationships with prospects by creating, sharing, and tracking personalized videos
right from the HubSpot CRM.
- Service teams can help customers faster and more completely with personalized help videos created and shared
directly from Service Hub. Agents can record their screen right from a ticket and send to customers, improving service and
solving issues faster. Service teams can also embed these videos in their knowledge base.
HubSpot Video is powered in part by Vidyard, a HubSpot
Connect partner since 2016. Their powerful video technology provides hosting and playback, interactive video capabilities, video
analytics, and the ability to record and share personalized videos with Vidyard GoVideo. These new platform-wide video features build on the
long-time relationship and integration between HubSpot and Vidyard.
"Our mission is to help every organization embrace the power of video to tell better stories, deliver more personalized
experiences and build better relationships with clients. We're thrilled to partner with HubSpot who shares in this vision," said
Michael Litt, CEO and co-founder of Vidyard. "Through our expanded partnership, HubSpot users will
now have seamless access to the industry's best tools for video hosting, video analytics and personalized video creation to help
them generate more business and truly connect with today's buyers."
