SoMedia Becomes the First Video Production Solution to Integrate with Marketo
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SoMedia Networks (TSX-V:VID), the pioneer of globally scalable video production solutions, is pleased to announce its integration with Marketo (NASDAQ:MKTO), the leading provider of marketing software. SoMedia’s Scalable Video App for Marketo provides marketers with on demand video production in unlimited volume and with national reach plus free hosting, custom video players and real-time video analytics. The offering is now available through Marketo LaunchPoint®, the most complete ecosystem of marketing solutions.
Scalable Video for Marketo enables marketers to easily order the production of custom business video content anywhere in North America, in any volume, with fourteen day turnaround, at the lowest price points. SoMedia's free video players easily integrate into Marketo landing pages and email campaigns providing campaign management and viewer engagement features. Advanced video analytics provide video engagement data used to help tune video architecture while activity logs are available real-time, allowing data segmentation, scoring, lead nurturing and video ROI analysis.
Marketing automation and content marketing are transforming brand engagement, but until now automation platforms have not supported or offered users video content production solutions due to their lack of scalability. The Marketo-SoMedia offering now enables marketers to seamlessly design, order, deploy, manage and track video content as they would any other content marketing asset.
“Scalable Video for Marketo provides marketers with access to the first video production solution that treats video as an ROI driven marketing tool available on demand, at scale, and in volume anywhere in North America,” said George Fleming, Founder and CEO of SoMedia Networks. "By combining video architecture control and scalable production with advanced video players and analytics platforms, SoMedia offers an integrated video marketing solution that is performance driven, responsive and cost effective. Our mission is to enable marketers to change the way they think about video and we're very excited to be able to introduce Scalable Video to Marketo's users."
"Marketo is committed to an open platform so that companies have the maximum flexibility to choose the best marketing technology solutions for their business,” said Chandar Pattabhiram, VP of Product and Corporate Marketing at Marketo. "We’re excited to have SoMedia Networks join LaunchPoint® so our customers can choose this innovative solution to work alongside Marketo's customer engagement platform and help them build long-term relationships with their customers."
