Our take
So much of the way we communicate and learn now is digitised. Powtoon rides this wave with its video and visual communications platform that helps people communicate in the most effective and engaging way possible.
Founded in 2012 - a different era in terms of digital communication and video content - Powtoon has successfully implemented a number of new services and features, with new tools for remote working and learning. It offers a secure shared cloud library for teams to work together, and a bank of millions of stock images and footage for video making.
It's an established brand with a loyal customer base, still effectively tailored to businesses. While free tools for home video content are becoming more widely available, and the market is increasingly saturated, the brand remains well-positioned to continue serving its niche.
