Moovly Media, A complete online video creation solution flying high, but still under the radar

I’m not much of a YouTube person, or TikTok, or social media in general, so perhaps I’m not the most qualified individual to comment on making videos. However, if I were inclined to post my opinions on the internet or try and give Joe Rogan a run for his money, there is a tool I would definitely be utilizing to make myself look as professional as possible. I would be using the Moovly Studio Video Editor brought to us by Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY). But before I continue, this is not an advertisement for Moovly’s products, it’s simply my introduction into the company I’m going to discuss today. Like I said, I’m not a curator of video content so you are stuck with my verbal commentary, although as I understand it, Moovly has a product that can turn this note into a form of video or powerpoint presentation.

Essentially, Moovly offers its users the most complete online video creation solution on the market. Combining an intuitive and easy-to-use video editor with millions of copyright free assets available in many different styles, and more advanced features such as text-to-speech, green screen recording, video automation solutions and white-labeling options. It could actually make a grumpy old guy like me look reasonably competent, at least until I started talking. Moovly is the leading provider of creative cloud-based tools to create compelling marketing, communications and training videos and video presentations. Clients include users from over 300 of the Fortune 500, small businesses, freelancers and Ivy League universities making intuitive, DIY, cost effective video-based content.

The reason for going on and on and on about the tools available at Moovly Media is to provide context for a deal that the Company signed last Wednesday that seems to have flown under the radar. Moovly announced that it has been selected, after a lengthy competitive process, as an exclusive partner to Lee Enterprises’ Simply Activ8 platform. The reason I say it appears to have flown under the radar is because the stock traded flat on both that Wednesday and Thursday on very low volume following the press release. It’s possible the market didn’t grasp the magnitude of this announcement so let me try and shed a little more light on why I think people should be paying attention to this deal. Lee Enterprises (NASDAQ: LEE) is a major subscription and advertising platform and a leading provider of local news and information. With Lee’s Enterprises’ daily newspapers, rapidly growing digital products and over 350 weekly and specialty publications serving 77 markets in 26 states. Year to date, Lee’s newspapers have an average daily circulation of 1.2 million, and legacy websites, including acquisitions, reach more than 56 million digital unique visitors.

The Simply Activ8 platform developed by Lee Enterprises has embedded the Moovly video automation platform to offer its clients a powerful business marketing video-making tool, fully integrated and branded. The solution enables businesses to create advertisements and other marketing videos in a simple, cost-effective way, and in doing so brings additional revenue and client stickiness to the platform. James Green, Vice President/Digital at Lee Enterprises stated, “Video is a powerful tool in advertising. Our partnership with Moovly makes that tool affordable and accessible for small to medium businesses.” For Moovly it’s an excellent example of allowing other companies to capitalize on the world-class platform they have built by integrating it into their own product offering. I view this as potentially a very high margin deal for Moovly as they’re simply distributing an existing product to a much larger user base and will be collecting fees from it.

Moovly had a market cap of just under $18 million as of yesterday’s close. So you can imagine how a deal like this can impact the Company once the revenue from this transaction starts flowing through to Moovly. I expect that Q3 results will be out shortly, which should be a pretty interesting read given the recent corporate update detailing unprecedented growth. Perhaps as transactions like the Lee Enterprises deal start flowing through into the revenue column Moovly Media will no longer be flying under the radar.

Moovly Media stock is up 1,125% over the past year and it is potentially only just getting started

I first wrote on Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY | OTC: MVVYF) (‘Moovly’) for InvestorIntel back on November 4, 2019 when the stock was trading at around C$0.05. Since then a lot has happened right for Moovly, including a 1,125% stock price gain over the past year, rising from C$0.04 to C$0.49. That is a 12.25x gain in just 1 year. Wow!

We did give readers some warning when, in May 2020, I wrote: Moovly Media ‘wows’ with massive user growth during the COVID-19 lockdown. I quoted at the time: “One company that is benefiting from the online video boom is Moovly Media Inc..”

Today I look back on the past year for Moovly and what investors can look forward to in the year ahead.

Moovly Media’s past year

Moovly had a great past year for so many reasons, here’s some:

  • COVID-19 encouraged work from home and boosted online video creation. This has been a great tailwind for Moovly. We saw this with Alphabet Google’s latest Q4 results yesterday where profits rose 43% to $15.2 billion, on the back of booming revenue from YouTube.
  • On Feb. 2, 2021 Moovly announced that due to demand from an increasingly international client base they had expanded their AI-enabled Text-to-Speech Feature, now available in 100+ languages.
  • On Nov. 19, 2020 Moovly announced integration of Amazon Transcribe and Google Translation’s AI systems into Moovly’s video creation platform. This means Moovly users can with a simple mouse click, convert voice content to subtitle text and can automatically translate their videos into 109 languages. Now that’s impressive tech!
  • On Oct. 22, 2020 Moovly announced that their users could now, very easily, convert powerpoint slides into a new video creation. Moovly stated: “The wizard-based process imports all elements from their slide deck and lets the user choose presets such as music and animations. Once imported, users can further fine tune and enhance their content, add voice and animations, and save it as an attractive video or an online video presentation.”

The above is just a brief summary of some of the great innovations and improvements that Moovly has been making. All of this has resulted in Moovly now having over 3.6 million users in hundreds of countries. This includes more than 300 of the Fortune 500 companies, as well as many government agencies.

Looking ahead to 2021 for Moovly

Moovly intends to add more client driven features to their video creation platform. This also helps expand Moovly’s market place as was the case with translation opening up the global market and PowerPoint to video opening up the education sector, just to name a few.

Moovly also expect to bring on more clients from the business enterprise and education segments during 2021. This will potentially help boost revenues as these are typically lucrative sectors.

With work from home not going away anytime soon the boom in video content creation should continue for the foreseeable future. The demand for video content and hence creation is huge. This means that in the case of Moovly Media 3.6 million users is potentially just the start.

Video is the future, the future is now

Oberlo marketing statistics state: “It’s estimated that by 2022, 82 percent of the global internet traffic will come from video streaming and downloads (Cisco, 2019)…. 54% of consumers want to see more video content from a brand or business they support….87% of marketing professionals use video as a marketing tool (Wyzowl, 2019).”

Closing remarks

Moovly has had a great past year due to a great macro tailwind from increased video content creation in the wake of COVID-19 and because Moovly has continued to improve their video creation platform, now used by over 3.6 million users in hundreds of countries.

Moovly has a market cap of C$68.5M (~US$53M), which still pales in significance when comparing to companies like Zoom Communications on a market cap of US$111B.

Looking ahead to 2021 it looks highly likely that Moovly will continue to become better known and more widely used, thereby increasing both their user base and over time their revenues. Watch this stock closely in 2021.

Moovly’s Brendon Grunewald on the video media revolution in the home office

“The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people work, learn, and the way they communicate. The physical meetings have just evaporated. We need tools that we can communicate effectively with and video is a great way to communicate. If a picture is worth a thousand word, then a video is worth a million.” States Brendon Grunewald, President, CEO and Director of Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky.

Brendon went on to say that there is an increased awareness among people and companies, both big and small, about Moovly Media. He added that even existing customers are extending their contracts which means that Moovly is delivering great value to its customers.

Brendon also spoke on the competitive advantages of Moovly Media over its competitors. He said, “We democratize the access or ability to make really high-end quality content. We strive to always to make it very simple to use but at the same time offer a wide variety of different solutions. It you are someone who just wants to make a quick social media video you can do that within seconds using our templates. If you are an experienced videographer then you can use some of our advanced features like green screening and screen recordings. We have also got automated subtitling. That brings me to the second USP which I would say is our automator. Increasingly we are seeing companies want to make vast volume of content using programs or spreadsheets where they import data and mass personalize and customize videos. Thirdly we have an exceptionally good price offering which makes us very competitive in the market in terms of value for money.”
