Our take
As companies increasingly rely on their online presence, it is more important than ever for them to understand how their visuals affect engagement with audiences. That's where Cloudinary comes in, providing thousands of customers with the means to manage images and videos for websites and apps.
With video now being one of the most effective formats to influence purchasing decisions, it is clear that the company has bet on a trend which is set to continue well into the future. This forward thinking has enabled the company to secure large clients such as Forbes and Ted Baker.
Cloudinary's future success will depend on its ability to keep offering cutting-edge services. It is heading in the right direction, with the addition of shoppable videos and the launch of FinalTouch, its AI-powered platform that creates multiple unique product scenes from a single product shot.
