What Viddy does

A brand new way to create landing pages that's video-native. Traditional ways of building landing pages are too costly (money & time) and brands want to experiment more. Our landing pages rely on video content to do the heavy lifting from a dev & design perspective. Our landing pages convert well (+15-30% across channels such as paid ads, email, and sms) and take <20min to create. This means brands can test over 10x what the currently do with Viddy.

This dramatically reduces cost and turnaround time and helps brands run more tests without extra dev or design work.
