Business Wire
Brightcove (NASDAQ: BCOV), the leading provider of cloud
services for video, announced today that its video platform has
been selected by Pitchero, a global sports network uniting millions
of sports fans worldwide, to power video on the digital websites it
creates for amateur sports leagues.
Pitchero enables amateur sports leagues, such as Vanarama
National League, to create the same immersive digital experiences
fans have grown accustomed to from professional sports leagues.
Vanarama uses the Brightcove video platform for playback of sports
highlights and to create video clips it can share in its social
channels.
“People love their sports and we’ve found a big untapped market
for amateur sports organizations and helping them engage and build
a deeper relationship with their fans through fan sites. Video,
particularly for younger audiences following these leagues and
teams, is an integral part of what today’s viewers expects from
their favorite sports league or team,” Mark Fletcher, CEO,
Pitchero, said.
“Companies still have the misconception that video is
expensive,” Mark Blair, senior vice president, International,
Brightcove, said. “It doesn’t need to be. Second- and third-tier
broadcasters can compete with bigger players by starting small and
iterating over time. We’re thrilled to be working with Pitchero and
look forward to supporting them as they continue to innovate around
video for its sports leagues and their audiences.”
