San Francisco (PRWEB) September 09, 2013 -- Through this partnership, any business can now instantly access millions of stunning videos or images provided by Getty Images to create a video ad for their business via the cloud.
Local businesses use their video ads (Viddyads) to promote themselves online, on blogs, websites or on video screens at marketing events. Already, small companies from around the globe have started creating video ads online to use as part of their Google AdWords campaign, on their blogs, websites or general advertising.
“When we looked around and saw the high prices for video, then saw the quality of what was possible with Viddyad, we were blown away – Viddyad is easy to use, fast and very affordable," Harry O’Connor, Head of Office, European Parliament, Dublin.
“Viddyad is such a simple idea, yet so clever. Now we can create a series of video ad campaigns within budget and have plenty left over to spend with Google AdWords to promote our restaurants with video." - Tino Fusciardi, owner of Da Mimmo Pizza, Dublin.
The collaboration between Getty Images and Viddyad is a great example of combining cutting edge technology and innovation with premium digital content, to disrupt and lead the video advertising market. It is an industry first: a bold, innovative move that is sure to shake up the fast growing video advertising market.
Getty are able to open new markets via Viddyad to the SMBs who may not have known what to do with stock video without Viddyad.
“Viddyad is democratizing online video advertising for small and medium-sized businesses. Our video ads are free to create and share - you only pay when you want to remove the watermark, download and use in a campaign. That means SMBs can now have their own professional video ads for online marketing and promotions for a tiny fraction of traditional costs," said Grainne Barron, Viddyad CEO and founder.
According to comScore, almost 25 per cent of all online videos viewed are now ads. In 2012, online video ad volume grew 46 per cent, a rate that is continuing throughout 2013. With Viddyad, small and medium-sized businesses can tap into this lucrative market to promote their companies and products with professional video ads, and generate much needed leads for their sales pipelines.

By giving our customers access to Getty Images’ vast library of handpicked video clips and images, they know their video ads will always look professional. You can also upload your own content to add a personal twist," said Barron.
