“Vimeo now serves over six thousand enterprises with our video software, and we’ve only just begun to unlock the myriad ways video can be used at work to communicate, collaborate and connect better,” said Anjali Sud, CEO, Vimeo. “Both WIREWAX and Wibbitz bring industry-leading technology and products to Vimeo, along with impressive teams and deep institutional knowledge in strategic areas of enterprise video. Together, we’ll be able to innovate faster and go farther in empowering every company to realize the power of professional-quality video.”
WIREWAX combines powerful AI-based object tracking with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to help enterprises create engaging interactive video experiences—from shoppable videos for e-commerce to immersive product demos to employee education and training modules. Their interactive studio is designed for users to easily add shoppable touchpoints and customizable overlays directly into any video, gamify the experience so viewers can choose their own journey as they watch, seamlessly embed content on websites and blogs, and track audience engagement and performance in real-time. Companies like Walmart, Disney, Google, and Nike have used WIREWAX’s tools to successfully bring interactive content to their employees, customers, and communities.
Wibbitz provides an enterprise-grade video creation suite for marketing, internal communications, and media teams to produce and collaborate on company-branded videos at scale. Wibbitz has helped companies like HubSpot, Bloomberg, Condé Nast, and Harvard University produce thousands of videos while maintaining the strict brand control and supporting the collaboration needs that large organizations require: from team-based approval workflows, shared workspaces, and account management to company-branded templates with consistent logos, fonts, color palettes, and transitions.
