NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2020
/PRNewswire/ -- Vimeo, the world's leading professional video
platform and community, today announced a strategic partnership
with GoDaddy, the company that empowers everyday entrepreneurs— an
integration that will bring the power of Vimeo directly to
GoDaddy's website builder and marketing tools. GoDaddy is the
latest partner to join Vimeo's new partner program Powered by
Vimeo, joining Facebook, Eventbrite, Pinterest and Patreon.
This move signals Vimeo's deepening focus on strategic partnerships
as a way to accelerate market share with business customers and
help more businesses unlock the power of video.
Vimeo is the first and only video platform to enable GoDaddy's
Websites + Marketing customers to upload and manage videos directly
within the website builder. Now these users will get access to a
co-branded video platform where they can natively upload, host, and
manage video content in the highest possible quality. GoDaddy
customers will also be able to upgrade to Vimeo's full video
toolsuite for more advanced functionality like custom branding,
video creation, and cross-platform analytics.
"More than ever, video is extremely important in helping
entrepreneurs build dynamic websites that increase customer
engagement and brand affinity," said Justin
Tsai, VP of Product Management at GoDaddy. "Vimeo's
easy-to-use video capabilities made integrating with them a
no-brainer. We're proud to team up with them to help Websites +
Marketing customers unlock the full power of video."
Vimeo's new Powered by Vimeo program empowers businesses
by natively integrating Vimeo's best-in-class video
capabilities—including hosting, creation, distribution, and live
streaming— across the major platforms and services they already
use.
"Powered by Vimeo brings the tools and utility of Vimeo—
flexible APIs, scalable video creation, the highest quality player,
and world-class brand— to category leaders across the internet, and
we're thrilled to partner with GoDaddy to give their community
better ways to reach and engage their customers," said Richard Bloom, SVP of Business Development,
Vimeo. "The Vimeo video player is already embedded on millions of
websites across the web, and we see an even bigger opportunity to
bring the full suite of our tools to any platform where video is
needed."
Vimeo will be expanding its partner ecosystem to power more
video across the web, and expects to launch more integrations this
year. To learn more about Powered by Vimeo, please visit:
