New Viewbix Kaltura plugin allows marketers to measure video performance beyond the video view and capture leads and actions
New York(02 Nov 2015)
Top video engagement platform, Viewbix has partnered with Kaltura, provider of the leading video technology platform, to add Viewbix’s interactive technology into the Kaltura video platform.
This partnership will make the Viewbix Platform accessible to clients directly within their Kaltura environment. The Viewbix Kaltura player plugin will provide clients with new ways to engage viewers and then measure that engagement to help clients gauge the effectiveness of their videos. By incorporating a variety of features and apps, including email sign up, click-to-call, live feeds, photos, maps and more, Viewbix enriches video to maximize reach.
“We are delighted to partner with Kaltura to bring our technology to their users,” said Jonathan Stefansky, CEO and co-founder of Viewbix. “The goal of every video marketer now is to go beyond the branding element and truly engage with viewers. We have found that the best way to drive viewer engagement and measure its effectiveness is to provide viewers with direct calls-to-action in the player. We are excited to bring this capability to Kaltura and look forward to enhancing users’ video marketing success.”
New analytics capabilities will also be available for clients using the Viewbix Kaltura player plugin, allowing them to track every action that occurs on the player and optimize campaigns in real time to drive increased ROI. With cross-device and cross-platform functionality, Viewbix allows marketers to generate leads and sales for any target market while also providing sales attribution for every video.
“The power of video can be explosive when you add layers of interactivity to it,” said Zohar Babin, Managing Director; VPaaS, Ecosystem and Community at Kaltura. “Adding Viewbix calls-to-action, interactive apps, and now analytics, directly into the Kaltura video player will provide clients with new options to increase engagement, measure interaction and evaluate the success of their content.”
