BRIGHTCOVE acquires HAPYAK best-in-class technology from newsela
By MYBRANDBOOK
Interactivity makes video more profitable for businesses and engaging for consumer. Brightcove Inc. announced it will acquire HapYak technology (a long-time partner) from Newsela, a leading K-12 instructional content platform, to help advance video interactivity.
With the integration of the HapYak technology, Brightcove users can quickly and easily incorporate interactivity into virtually any video, including clickable hotspots, quizzes, shopping cart purchases, personalization, choose-your-own adventure paths, and a variety of calls to action (e.g., buy now, subscribe, download).
The technology will also enable marketers, HR, corporate training departments, and sales teams to track viewer actions and sentiment and to personalize customer journeys in entirely new ways.
“Video delivers content in the most powerful way, and adding interactivity dramatically enhances viewer engagement, on-boards employees more effectively, inspires stronger passions, and closes more sales faster,” said Namita Dhallan, Chief Product Officer, Brightcove. “Interactivity also generates valuable data-driven insights for businesses that can guide new interactions based on viewers’ previous behaviors.”
Brightcove and HapYak have maintained a strong technology partnership since 2013, working jointly with customers like Sotheby’s and TN Marketing, to deliver exceptional interactive video experiences “securely.”
Upon consummation of the acquisition, Brightcove will acquire HapYak’s commercial interactivity technology brand and certain marketing assets. Brightcove also expects to acquire HapYak’s customer relationships globally. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur in Q4 2021.
