The Humane Society of the United States Teams with Brightcove for New Online and Mobile Video Initiatives
“Our award-winning videos showcase The Humane Society of the United States’ animal rescue operations, undercover investigations, and more – and this partnership with Brightcove takes it to the next level,” said Michael Markarian, chief operating officer at The Humane Society of the United States. “With Brightcove, we have switched to a speedier, more reliable streaming video provider, expanded the selection of videos, and added new channels. Visitors to humanesociety.org now have access to faster-loading videos and higher-quality playback experiences so they can help spread the word about our work to celebrate animals and confront cruelty.”
Leveraging the Brightcove platform, The HSUS’ development team has created a high-quality video experience that reaches well beyond the desktop computer. Brightcove’s range of mobile video capabilities make it easy for the organization to reach Android devices, iPhones and iPads, as well as deliver iTunes HD podcasts. Now the organization’s video content can reach the widest audience possible while still delivering a high quality, branded user experience regardless of device or browser.
“We are excited to help the HSUS expand the reach of its video initiatives and educate more consumers throughout the country on a variety of animal-related topics,” said David Mendels, Brightcove president and chief operating officer. “Video is a tremendous tool for the HSUS to help further its mission and engage with supporters, and we are proud to be the platform of choice for this important organization.”
