“We’re convinced that video will not only grow as a strategic platform for marketing and sales, but also as a critical solution for other business functions across every industry.” Brown will join Vidyard’s board of directors.
In 2015, Vidyard says its revenue tripled and its number of employees doubled.
Michael Litt, cofounder of Vidyard, was a finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year.
The company’s working culture has been touted as high-energy and dynamic.
