Screencastify, a leader in $2B video creation space, positioned to thrive in 2023 with new Leadership team and CEO

Screencastify

Screencastify, the leading end-to-end video creation platform, today announced major milestones and company momentum as it continues to deliver the simplest screen capture and video editing capabilities to users around the globe. Boasting significant leadership changes, including newly appointed CEO Vishal Shah, Screencastify has established itself as a front-runner for creators’ video needs. Screencastify, an original video creation tool via internet browser, has become an end-to-end platform that makes recording, editing, sharing, assessing, and viewing video simple and accessible, so anyone can become a more effective communicator. More than 12.4 million users worldwide have used Screencastify to make nearly 450 million videos since 2016. New CEO Vishal Shah has been closely involved with Screencastify since its early days when LearnCore, the sales enablement start up he co-founded as CEO in 2010, was seeking to expand its video creation capability. As part of that collaboration Shah took a board seat with Screencastify. After exiting LearnCore, he took on the position of interim President at Screencastify before being appointed CEO today. Joining the CEO, Screencastify is also announcing the appointment of veteran Paul Ray as CTO while Alex Stepien is promoted from CRO to President & CRO. Ray has almost two decades software development experience with senior roles at Chicago Booth, former CTO at LearnCore and until recently a leader at Amazon. Stepien has led revenue operations and held senior leadership roles including as the former CEO at Cappex. He joined Screencastify in 2021 as CRO. Together the team is positioned to innovate and grow in this booming market. “In March 2020, the demand for online video communication creation went through the roof,” said Vishal Shah, CEO of Screencastify. “The sudden switch to remote learning saw educators — particularly in K-12 schools and higher education — turn to Screencastify’s accessible, intuitive, and low-cost video creation solution to enhance synchronous learning as well as deliver asynchronous — self-paced — learning options. Screencastify is only scratching the surface on how we can help the people who are educating the world now and in the future.” The company met the demand spurred by the pandemic, growing the number of videos made daily by 500%, increasing daily usage by 340% and elevating the number of videos created each month from 2 million before March of 2020 to 20 million videos created monthly less than two months later. Today, Screencastify is being used by educators in more than 70% of U.S. school districts. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Shah notes “The acceptance and widespread adoption of hybrid learning as well as the growing usage of video in the classroom and for a variety of training and instructional uses in the workplace means the future is very exciting for Screencastify, which gave the world its first easy-to-use browser-based screen capture and video creation tool, and I’m delighted the business has asked me to continue the momentum.” According to HubSpot, online video communication adoption has increased 96% over the past three years, with educators, their students, mid-size businesses employees, and individual influencers and creators being the primary drivers of the trend. Screencastify stepped up as the leader in on-demand video creation by building the simplest and most intuitive end-to-end video creation platform for any user. As workplaces embrace hybrid and remote environments, the need for asynchronous video continues to grow. Screencastify has proven it can meet the high demand for a simple, on-demand video platform and will continue to embrace the challenge of meeting the needs for any school or workplace. “We have an opportunity to make video communication simpler and improve human-to-human interaction in a new era of remote working and living — but also one where video plays a greater part in communication at school, at work, and in the social lives of young people especially,” added Vishal Shah. Screencastify has been laser-focused on improving the customer experience with capabilities such as Submit that engages students and allows them to securely create screen and webcam recordings without the extension. The video is then automatically sent to the teacher. Shah notes that, “It's by far the easiest way for students to record and submit videos, as we see teachers encourage students to create more videos.” He adds that Screencastify has, “An exciting lineup of product enhancements and features in 2023 and 2024. One of our big priorities is to keep things simple while building out our capabilities. Screencastify has an enormous base of content creators and we will continue to make life easier for them. Corporate educators are also a key focus for us, with the increasing adoption of digital learning tools and video being accepted as a compelling tool in marketing and sales collateral.” K-12 and post-secondary school has been a key market for Screencastify, but other industries, businesses, and social content creators are also using the tool to create on-demand videos for purposes as diverse as onboarding, engaging customers, board presentations, or simply sharing messages and information between friends and online communities. “The edtech market will only grow,” Vishal Shah says, noting projections from GlobalData show compound annual growth rate (CAGR) growth of 16% between 2021 and 2026, and crossing $400 billion in 2026. “We believe we have a special product and I look forward to continuing to pioneer video services for our customers and grow our customer base. We are ambitious for the future.” About Screencastify Established in 2016, Screencastify is the leading end-to-end video creation platform that makes recording, editing, sharing, assessing, and viewing video more simple for everyone.

Pepper Content boosts content marketing community with Pepper AI

Pepper Content

Ahead of the release of its much awaited Content Marketing Platform, Pepper Content, is all set to launch its AI-powered chatbot modeled on ChatGPT, but specifically for content marketers. Pepper AI is designed like an assisted chat-like interface but its capabilities go far beyond that of ChatGPT. While the latter solves wide ranging problems and is known for its generic advice on matters, Pepper AI is powered by data that is specific to the content marketing niche, making it a subject matter expert, available at the tap of a few buttons for content marketers familiar with the field. The final objective is to offer curated solutions to content marketers and assist them in day-to-day tasks. Pepper is a content company at its heart and understands the marketing world inside-out. Its deep focus on technology has allowed the pivot into the fast-trending generative AI space, making its latest product the one to watch in the content marketing space. “We believe that our expertise in content and technology that enables marketers and our large network of global content talent has set us up to be frontrunners in this race to revolutionize content marketing” says Rishabh Shekhar, Co-Founder and COO, Pepper Content. The sweet spot between AI, content and human expertise Pepper AI is set at the intersection of AI and human creativity, playing to each others strengths. It leverages AI’s speed and ability to learn and combines it with human creativity and excellence through a global talent platform, so as to bring out the best of both worlds. A Personalized Chatbot for Content Marketers Features and the Pepper AI advantage Pepper AI is essentially a chatbot modeled along the pain points of content marketers. The interactive AI-assisted chat experience leads you down a tree-based categorization system with meaningful workflows. The overall idea is to not just provide information and insights, but to make them actionable and fit them intuitively into your content marketing workflow. Key features include Personalized inputs that understand you and your business:Unlike generic statements, our AI-assisted chatbot takes into account data from external sources like your company website to provide a highly contextual output that is tailored to your business needs, saving you the time and effort to set context every time. A feature we believe will be immensely useful for enterprise and growing SMBs. Workflow-first approach: Instead of working in siloes where a tool simply assists in AI writing or one aspect of the content marketing process, Pepper AI is built into a content marketing workflow, a platform that manages the entire content marketing process. Content marketing templates curated by in-house experts: Key pain points have been identified and presented as single-click templates to help content marketers act fast in addition to templatizing useful prompts to help avoid the blank page blues. “We launched Peppertype.ai two years ago - an AI content writing platform that has grown to over 450,000+ users. This was way before generative AI and ChatGPT were the talk of the town. I believe this early adopter advantage has given us deep insights into the possibilities of AI when it comes to content marketing. Pepper AI is just another step in that direction.” says Anirudh Singla, Co-founder and CEO, Pepper Content ChatGPT vs Pepper AI: What gives Pepper AI the edge? ChatGPT is a powerful technology that has opened up a world of possibilities in the generative AI space in the past few months. However, its limitations like its inability to provide highly personalized responses and the onus it puts on the user to derive maximum value from the tool, leaves marketers wanting more. This is where Pepper AI can fill in the gaps - it utilizes multiple data sources and APIs of tools like Google Analytics and SEMrush to name a few, to produce an output that is personalized to your business and its needs. ChatGPT is a great starting point but can only take your content creation efforts 30% of the way. Pepper AI on the other hand, with its workflow-first experience enables marketers throughout the process, with content creation being a very small part of the larger content marketing puzzle. About Pepper Content Pepper Content is a content marketing stack that combines a powerful Content Marketing Platform with an expert-led, global talent marketplace. It enables enterprises and SMBs to streamline their content marketing efforts with the help of state-of-the-art AI-powered tools that supercharge every aspect of the content marketing workflow, from content creation to operations and analytics. AI + Human creativity Pepper makes content marketing easy through its unique approach to the entire content marketing process. It leverages technology and talent to create high-quality content at scale with the objective of helping businesses scale organic growth and prove content marketing ROI, in a hassle-free manner. Global expert talent With a network of over 150,000+ content creators Pepper caters to 2500+ global brands like Amazon, Adobe, Google, to name a few.

We value their commitment to increasing accessibility and bridging the gap to connect more people to much-needed services that will help our community and businesses thrive.” Comcast is committed to addressing digital equity in communities we serve, through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. Last year, Comcast Colorado invested more than $42.6 million to help more than 260 community organizations statewide provide personalized digital skills training, offer workforce development/readiness workshops and other tech education to students, adults, and people with disabilities. Comcast supported local organizations including United Way of Pueblo County, Boys &Girls Clubs of Pueblo County, and Southern Colorado Youth Development among others. And Comcast has four Lift Zone connectivity centers at central community organizations throughout Pueblo including Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County, Southern Colorado Youth Development, El Centro Del Quinto Sol Pueblo Parks and Recreation, and RMSER Community Center, to ensure more people have access to secure, reliable Wi Fi. Comcast’s community funding supports ongoing efforts to build awareness about connectivity programs like Internet Essentials and the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which offers eligible households up to $30/month credit, or up to $75 for households on tribal lands, for home Internet. Comcast proudly participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program, and offers Internet Essentials Plus, a $29.95/month home Internet service that is effectively free for eligible households, once the ACP credit is applied. Interested customers can visit Xfinity.com/ACP or call 1-800-Xfinity to learn more about this program and find out if they qualify.
