The Platform of Choice for Media, Broadcasters and Sports Organizations Globally, Imagen Helps Businesses More Effectively Engage Audiences with Video

Imagen, the leading video management platform for media companies and sports organizations around the world, is extending its reach to provide organizations the same powerful platform for leveraging video in their business. Demand for the company’s scalable, intelligent video management platform has grown beyond its traditional markets of media and sports, as corporate groups, especially marketers, recognize video as a powerful way to engage and convert audiences. As businesses increase their investment in video, they require better ways of managing and distributing their media assets in order to reap the best return on investment.

“Imagen has proven itself to the most demanding of clients – organizations that rely on broadcast quality management and distribution of video for revenue generation,” said Ryan Rolf, Imagen’s Chief Revenue Officer of the Americas. “Reliance on video in marketing and communications is now ubiquitous, so it’s a natural step for Imagen to extend our solution to enterprises, non-profits and educational institutions; their video management needs have matured and they require a powerful way to store, manage and distribute this valuable content.”

Founded in 1996 in the U.K., Imagen is the dominant video management platform in media and sports, working with the likes of the BBC, Reuters, IMG, Major League Baseball, The English Premier League, Champions Hockey League, International Tennis Federation and WTA Media. Global corporate clients like Aon, BP and Cimpress also trust Imagen to manage and distribute their expanding video and media libraries – enabling fast, easy, secure and controlled access to content through the highly customizable platform.

“Video is an important communications vehicle to reach and engage our 14,000 team members across 40 global offices. We’re creating hundreds of videos every year and needed a better way to manage and provide seamless access,” said Stephen Gibbons, Director, Internal Communications at Cimpress, the mass customization company and parent of businesses such as BuildASign, National Pen, Pixartprinting, Vistaprint and WIRmachenDRUCK. “Imagen has allowed us the flexibility to tailor the solution to meet our unique requirements, from matching our brand to providing permissions-based access to our internal and sometimes sensitive content. The platform has changed the way we share video content with our internal stakeholders.”

While businesses are increasing their production of video for content marketing, employee communications and training, very few have the right tools to store, manage and distribute these assets effectively. And the more video they create, the harder it is for teams to find, and even harder to activate across the growing number of channels at their disposal.
