Wochit boosts content library in Ruptly global archive deal


08 June 2020, Berlin: Ruptly, the global news and media agency, today announced a strategic partnership with Wochit, the video library and creation platform used by over 350 media brands worldwide. Under the deal, Wochit clients will be able to draw on material from Ruptly’s extensive archive catalogue and immediately edit and create their own videos within the Wochit platform.
The new partnership enhances the Wochit user experience by bringing Ruptly’s news and general interest videos to its clients. Ruptly is renowned for unearthing unique stories and new perspectives not covered by other outlets and Wochit customers will now be able to access captivating content spanning genres from feel-good, human interest videos to hard news. Among the flagship content is Ruptly’s award-winning coverage of the Yellow Vest protests in France, and frontline visuals from Syria.
Clients on the platform – including USA Today, The Week, Focus Online and Der Spiegel – will also benefit from Ruptly’s light news content, demand for which has soared since the onset of the pandemic. With audiences hungry for uplifting stories, Wochit users can now entertain their viewers with viral videos of everything from baby pandas and piano-playing chickens to weird and wonderful inventions and heart-warming personal stories.
Matt Tabaccos, Chief Commercial Officer at Ruptly, commented:
“This is another exciting partnership for Ruptly, and we look forward to working with Wochit to share our wealth of content with new audiences around the world. By joining forces with this cutting-edge online video creation platform, we can keep more clients and their audiences enlightened and engaged, particularly as outlets around the world face many logistical issues in sourcing and creating fresh content at this time.”
Jo Schmaltz, SVP Strategic Business Development at Wochit, commented:
“Our commitment to our video creators is to empower them with the best possible tools and content, as and when they need them. We are proud to collaborate with Ruptly to provide our users with archive visual news content to create high-quality shareable videos in minutes.”
