Problem
A large gap in the Enterprise Sector of the market
Current 'self-service' virtual events platforms are very limited in the options they offer, and are not built for professional use. Enterprise brands—and the top-tier production teams that support them—need more robust, flexible, and professional-grade toolsets to manage their premium events.
Enterprise customers need:
- Broadcast-quality streaming, not pixelated content.
- Ability to scale from 100 attendees to over 100,000, while supporting multi-day and multi-track content formats.
- Enterprise-class security to safely maintain innovative ideas and user data.
- Fully customizable experience that allows audiences to seamlessly engage with their brand.
Solution
We built the industry's premium platform
We've already built the industry's premium platform and put it to the test with some of the top brands in the world including Uber, The United Nations, Anthem, Shiseido and many more.
BuzzCast was built by producers for producers and engineered with Enterprise Businesses in mind. We prioritized stability and scale by building our product from the ground up on AWS Serverless technology. By doing so, BuzzCast is able to deliver broadcast-quality streaming with customization capabilities, to support demanding brands and millions of viewers anywhere in the world.
Our platform was also architected as a single-tenant system, enabling us to deliver a world-class degree of security.
But don't take our word for it...
