Company mission

Our take
Video content has been slowly rising up the priority ladder for marketing teams and businesses - it’s up over 40% since 2016. This is no surprise: short form videos are digestible, engaging, and increasingly shareable across social media platforms. The only problem is, producing them has historically come with a lot of cost and hassle.
OpenReel has put together a streamlined toolsuite to help corporations and teams dodge these downsides. It’s fairly basic, offering simple video content tools like screen recording, teleprompt, basic editing, chat management, and automatic footage uploads.
This, however, is precisely its appeal. Anyone can use it to create marketing-grade content, thus providing a simple and cost-effective way of taking advantage of the video content trend.
Demand for OpenReel has surged in recent years, and it helped the company pull in enterprise clients like AWS, Hubspot, and ViacomCBS - as well as some impressive funding. At this point, consolidation and additional platform features seem most likely to keep up OpenReel’s impressive momentum.
