Leveraging its expertise in remote work and capitalizing on the significant shift to video as a strategic sales and marketing tool, SmartBug Media® has become an Implementation Certified partner with Vidyard, a leading online video platform with robust integration capabilities. The partnership aligns SmartBug’s® award-winning video capabilities with Vidyard’s world-class video platform to enhance engagement and revenue across SmartBug’s growing customer base.
