Megan Yam

Video Marketing Specialist

AlayaCare

With the Channels feature, we are able to customize our videos and organize them into different categories. And in doing so, we feel like the user experience is so much better. There are no ads, and once someone finishes watching a video they’re automatically served the next video. Testimonial By Megan Yam

Stefanie Grieser

Head of Global Markets, Partnerships and Events

Unbounce

We started using the integration as a way to keep in touch with people who’d missed out, and doing that through Wistia and HubSpot is really valuable for us. Testimonial By Stefanie Grieser

Jade Hudson

Nextep

The best time for me to use videos in the sales cycle is after showing my face at least once in person. I try and send [a video] to remind them who I am, and put a face to the name instead of just sending them a basic email. Testimonial By Jade Hudson
