About

Leading independent video marketing platform for B2B businesses, differentiated by brand control, deep analytics, and marketing automation integrations

Wistia is an end-to-end video marketing solution that enables teams to produce, host, and gauge the effectiveness of their video content, offering capabilities such as player customization, built-in accessibility, lead generation tools, and industry-leading analytics. More than 425,000 marketers worldwide rely on the platform to drive business growth through video. In the B2B space, Wistia's research indicates that nearly 70 percent of companies planned to increase their video output in 2023, reflecting sustained demand for video as a marketing and customer-reach channel. While short-form video dominates by volume, content exceeding 30 minutes has seen explosive growth over the past decade, and companies report that these longer formats rank among their highest-performing assets. Wistia also integrates with a range of advertising software platforms, having expanded its feature set to include webinar hosting, video editing, webcam and screen recording, and enhanced analytics — additions that have positioned it as an all-in-one resource for marketers managing video across channels.
