Brightcove is mission control for native video on social networks, web properties, mobile apps and connected devices
BOSTON, November 15, 2016 - Brightcove Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOV), a leading provider of cloud services for video, today announced the release of Brightcove Social, the first video solution that enables organizations to manage their video presence across social networks from a single interface. Brightcove empowers marketers, enterprises, and media organizations to maximize the tremendous potential of social video. It does this by enabling teams to edit, publish and track their videos in the native playback environments of Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter --as well as their own websites-- from Video Cloud, Brightcove's complete video platform.
Eighty percent of consumers say social video is the best way to get to know a brand on digital channels, according to a new Brightcove study. While content owners have recognized the tremendous power of video on social networks to increase reach and engagement, they are finding that distributing video on these platforms can be inefficient and time consuming. Brightcove Social streamlines the publishing workflow and aggregates analytics for social video to maximize publishing efficiency and social video return on investment.
For marketers, enterprises, and media organizations using social platforms today, it's the wild, wild west, said David Mendels, CEO, Brightcove. Each platform has different requirements, best practices, and ecosystems that makes the process for distributing and analyzing video over multiple platforms complicated. Brightcove Social is the first solution that simplifies the process by putting all the tools to edit, distribute, and analyze the performance of native social video in one place. The opportunity in this space is immense and Brightcove has made helping our customers take advantage of social video a top priority.
Marketers: Increase Brand Awareness, Expand Reach, Drive Purchases
Social video offers a huge opportunity for marketers. According to the Brightcove study:
Three out of four consumers acknowledge the connection between watching video on social networks and their purchasing decision-making process
75 percent of consumers said that social video influenced their purchasing decisions
Nearly 50 percent of consumers responded that they have made a purchase after watching a video on social media
Many brand, content, and social marketers are already using video in social media channels to engage audiences across all stages of the customer lifecycle. Brightcove Social saves them time by providing easy to use tools and simple workflows to create, publish, and track social video that plays natively on each platform. It also improves the impact of social video by making it easy to optimize the viewing experience and branding for each social channel and analyze the reach and impact of videos in one place.
Publishers and Broadcasters: Increase Viewership, Promote Programming, Accelerate Revenue
Media companies have flocked to social networks in order to stay in front of their audiences and as an opportunity to increase viewership. Brightcove Social helps media organizations increase their audience engagement via social video, better understand what content resonates with their viewers and accordingly optimize their revenues. In addition to simplifying and automating the publishing of video to social channels, media organizations can use Brightcove Social to apply content rights and track viewing metrics.
On one hand, media organizations are struggling to make money. On the other, executing on cross-platform social strategy is too complicated because of the distinct workflows and best practices for each platform, Anil Jain, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Media, Brightcove said. Brightcove Social allows media organizations to increase revenue through increased viewership and create more stickiness with their audiences regardless of where they consume content. In the past, they have not had the tools to do this effectively.

Customer Testimonials:
In a world where the content sweet spot is constantly shifting, and video is the new king of content, Brightcove Social helps me and my team keep our focus. By simplifying the where and when of video content, it lets me concentrate on the how and why. - Lawrence Neves, Senior Operations Manager, B&H Photo
"On a given day I might be sharing videos to any one of six different social accounts. It s saved me a lot of time to manage this via Brightcove Social instead of having to upload and enter metadata individually on several different sites. We can have a unified message across multiple platforms, or customize our posts for each site. I can accomplish in a few seconds what otherwise might have taken f
