Nintendo, Bleacher Report and Mediavine Among Global Brands Relying on Cloudinary for Video Management at Scale
Cloudinary, the media experience platform for many of the world’s top brands, today announced an increase in demand for its AI-based video platform launched last October, as brands accelerated their digital transformation plans during the COVID crisis. With 7,000 customers, 700,000 users and more than 40 billion assets under management, Cloudinary’s video bandwidth grew by more than 140% in Q2 2020. Brands relying on Cloudinary’s video platform include Bleacher Report, Mediavine, Nintendo, Fiverr, Guess, Hinge, Finalsite, Outbrain, Salsify and Taboola.
As companies increasingly rely on video to educate, inform and connect with audiences, the Cloudinary Media Experience Platform automates and simplifies the entire process of delivering engaging and consistent videos across all channels, devices and web browsers. Later this month, Cloudinary will expand its video capabilities with its new slideshow generation feature, allowing users to generate personalized video content using existing assets and templates.

“For tomorrow’s shoppers the role of social media and online video will be key when it comes to looking at influencing purchasing decisions,” said Hugh Fletcher, Global Head of Consultancy and Innovation at Wunderman Thompson Commerce. “Our research tells us that the consumers of tomorrow are being conditioned to expect more in terms of range, ease, speed, convenience and of course content. Video will continue to have a huge impact on the shopping behaviors of young people, it’s the content of preference and brands must get their strategies right.”
“Video has always been an inspiring and engaging format, but the role video is currently playing in the enterprise and everyday lives cannot be understated,” said Amit Shachak, head of video, Cloudinary. “Our goal is to remove the challenges traditionally associated with managing video at scale; to make it as easy as possible for brands to harness the power of video, allowing anyone to create the most engaging content automatically delivered in the right size and format for a rich and seamless experience, no matter where their audiences are engaged.”
