Newsflare joins AFP's partner video collections
AFP announces a partnership with video agency Newsflare, which specialises in collecting, verifying and licensing UGC videos.
In keeping with its selective strategy of redistributing premium partner collections, AFP has signed an agreement with Newsflare to offer its customers a wider choice of UGC (user-generated content) videos, shared on social networks or shot by a community of content creators.
“The addition of the Newsflare collection to our portfolio will enable AFP to strengthen its offering of UGC videos, whether news-related or with high audience potential”, says Patrice Monti, AFP's Group Sales and Marketing Director. “This means we can respond even more effectively to the needs of our customers, who are looking for a wide range of content”.
“Newsflare sources, verifies and curates authentic, informative, and moving videos from more than 100 countries across the world, providing media organisations with rich and reliable video assets with which to engage their audiences”, explains Jon Cornwell, CEO of Newsflare. “We are excited to embark upon this new partnership with AFP and we are confident this collaboration will expand the reach of the powerful video captured by our community.”
Newsflare videos are available on AFP News and AFP Forum.
