Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
According to the founder, integrating user-generated videos into the communication strategy increases the reputation of a brand, creates trust among clients and improves employee engagement. Seenit is the first UGC platform that allows companies to collect user-generated videos and leverage them to tell their story in an impactful way.
40% of consumers are now seeking brands that act in society's best interest and so there is a growing importance for companies to communicate more humanly, driving the need for good storytelling.
Founded in 2014, Seenit already has considerable experience in their sector and they count the largest organisations in the world among its clients, such as Spotify, Amazon, CocaCola and Vodafone
