Alex - CEO of Small Entertainment Video Agency

Compared to many of the big news agencies, I have a relatively small collection of entertainment and celebrity videos. While my collection is small, I have some great content, including many exclusive videos that no one else has. My problem was that I had all of this fantastic video sitting on a hard drive where no one could access it. We would occassionally make a few phone calls to some potential customers when we had something we thought they might be interested in, but that was hardly an effective way of selling our video.

If I had any hopes of competing with the big players, I knew that I needed a platform that would let my customers search, browse, and download my video very simply and quickly. I did not have the money (or energy) to build my own platform, and I didn't find many cost effective alternatives on the market. When I was finally introduced to Mainstream's MediasBrowser platform, I decided very quickly that this was the solution for me.

We were up and running within weeks of our decision to move forward with Mainstream, and the best part is that they're hosting our video at a very low and affordable price point, even for a small company like mine. I now use Mainstream's shared MediasBrowser platform to host and distribute my video to my customers, prospects, and partners around the world. Mainstream even customized the platform to look like my website.

I have already had positive feedback from several of my customers who use MediasBrowser to access content from other photo and video agencies in the industry. I felt comfortable with my decision to use Mainstream knowing that my customers were familiar with the company and the platform.

Using the MediasBrowser platform, all of my clients have access to our video within minutes of our uploading it from the field. MediasBrowser also takes the headache out of making the video available to our clients in different formats, as all of the video encoding is an automatic part of the process. All of this is making it possible for me to spend my time creating the content I know my customers want. Thanks Mainstream.
