Mobile App Makes it Possible for Brands and Retailers to Broadcast Live HD Video From Anywhere and Across Owned & Operated Channels

Brandlive, the omni-channel live video platform, has announced the rollout of its new mobile app. The app makes it easier for brands and retailers such as adidas, Cabela’s, The North Face, REI, and others to go live to their audiences with increased agility and flexibility. Built on the needs and requirements of sophisticated marketers, the platform is helping to shape the way live video efforts are managed and reported on, for both public and private events.

Additionally, Brandlive partnered with IBM Cloud Video to better understand how marketers intend to incorporate live video into their 2018 marketing strategies. Early results show that 67 percent of those surveyed are taking live video beyond social platforms, leveraging it across their enterprises for training, sales meetings and corporate town halls, as well as consumer events.

Customer Feedback: “GoPro’s education team operates in a fast-paced world, often in remote places,” shared Chris Naegele, GoPro’s Director of Global Education. “The new Brandlive mobile app opens up some new possibilities on how we connect with our partners by giving us more freedom on how and where we can go live to get them the education they need. We use our GoPros to broadcast 99% of the time, but now that we don’t need a computer, we have that much more flexibility.”

“We are so excited for Brandlive’s mobile app. At Cabela’s we are hosting an average of 300 live events per year, including internal trainings for our North American retailers,” said Dustin Edwards, Learning and Development Manager for Cabela’s. “Live video has become part of the fabric of how we communicate; we’ve seen the performance of our product lines change on a dime when we use a combination of live video and product experts for training. The Brandlive mobile app will make it that much easier for us to connect with our internal and external audiences in the most authentic, cost effective, and beneficial way.”

“We gave the new Brandlive mobile app a test-drive immediately after it appeared in the app store, and were impressed with how effortless it was. The app worked flawlessly and was really intuitive, even for non-video experts like myself,” added Sales Operations Manager Brian Mastrofino from Superfeet.
