Brightcove recognized for its innovative live video platform
BOSTON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2018--
Brightcove (NASDAQ: BCOV), the leading provider of cloud services for
video, announced today that it has been recognized by Fast Company
as one of the Top
10 Most Innovative Companies in Video for 2018. Fast
Companyselected Brightcove, which also made the publication’s
list in 2011, and highlighted Brightcove’s new live video platform,
which enables publishers to deliver and monetize broadcast-like
experiences for live events and 24/7 channels.
In 2017, Brightcove Live was used by Seven
West Media to stream the Australian Open, by Foxtel
to stream the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight, and by Le
Figaro to stream the French elections.
Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies (MIC) issue recognizes
pioneering companies across 36 categories, from video to artificial
intelligence to wellness. More than three dozen Fast Company
editors, reporters, and contributors surveyed thousands of
companies—many of which were identified by a new MIC submission
process—to create these lists.
Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature franchise
and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It
provides both a snapshot and a road map for the future of innovation
across the most dynamic sectors of the economy. “This year’s MIC list is
an inspiring and insightful window into how many companies have embraced
innovation and are working to make meaningful change,” said Fast
Company deputy editor David Lidsky, who oversaw the issue with
senior editor Amy Farley.
“We are honored to be recognized by Fast Company,” saidAndrew
Feinberg, CEO, Brightcove.“This is a remarkable list of
innovators with whom to be included and it is a testament to our
heritage of market-leading product development in the video space. Live
streaming is a tremendous opportunity for all publishers, but consumer
expectations of the experience are high. We created Brightcove Live to
simplify live streaming for our customers, while also delivering a
television-like experience that today’s consumer expects.”
Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies issue (March-April 2018)
is now available online at www.fastcompany.com/MIC,
as well as in app form via iTunes and on newsstands beginning February
