vzaar Expands into North America as Demand for its Video Hosting Platform Grows 

Portsmouth, New Hampshire. September 6, 2012

vzaar, (http://vzaar.com) a leading video hosting platform for business, today announced the opening of the company’s first North American office, headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. 

UK-based vzaar is experiencing rapid growth and boasts over 1700 customers spanning more than 70 countries.  Nearly half of vzaar’s customers are based in North America including leading brands like eBay, Getty Images and TopGolf.

The professional video hosting sector is rapidly growing as a result of businesses taking advantage of online video for sales, marketing and communications.  According to CISCO, video will increase from 30 percent of internet traffic to 90 percent of internet traffic by 2013. The reasons are compelling:

  • According to Forrester, videos drive significant traffic to websites that utilize the medium. A webpage with videos embedded has a 53 times better chance of appearing on the first page of search results than any given text page.
  • Videos in universal search results see a 41 percent higher click rate than plain text, according to leading search marketing blog, AimClear.
  • In a recent study of US companies by ContentWise and Custom Content Council, 54% of respondents said they intended to produce more online video in 2012, higher than any other branded marketing content format.


 
Companies looking for a professional platform for video hosting are seeking solutions that overcome the branding, marketing and security limitations of popular “free” video hosting services. vzaar offers an affordable, quality option for video hosting offering generous storage and bandwidth, superior performance and security, together with broad customization and delivery capabilities.

“An online video strategy is a must-have for every brand and every company, large or small,” said Jim Henry, vzaar’s VP of Sales, who is based at the new US office.  “The US market is leading the charge in harnessing the marketing and sales power of online video and with our new North American office we are now ideally placed to capitalize on this opportunity, as well as providing even better support to our existing US-based customers.”
