Company Profile

Rightster was founded in 2009 by Charlie Muirhead with the mission of building the world's largest b2b content marketplace.

With a background in producing original brand-funded content, it soon became clear that with the massive fragmentation in online content and advertising, the real need was for efficiency. Publishers were suffering from reduced budgets and needed fast, efficient ways to source premium content, whilst content producers faced a huge complexity in getting effective finance, distribution, marketing and monetisation of their content. Charlie and the team immediately started developing a self service platform to address these needs and connect all these market participants.

Rightster currently has over 1000 producers and publishers signed up, including many of the UKs leading production companies, newspapers, blogs and broadcasters.

Product Description

Rightster's unique software service uses a 'social web' model to connect all market participants in the production and publication of online video. The connections and automated tools help producers to efficiently finance, distribute, market and monetise their projects, whilst Rightster's personalised marketplace in turn enables publishers to source premium video. The service supports ad-funded, paid or licensed commercial models.
