“Our Online Video Grader is the first video how-to tool of its kind empowering business owners and marketing professionals to make the best out of their available video resources,” says Bettina Hein, founder and CEO of Pixability. “To paraphrase MarketingProfs’ Ann Handley, video marketing is like high school sex – everyone is trying to do it, but no one is doing it well. Our mission is to make video marketing easy and effective for businesses.”

The Pixability team’s first Video Grader Report focused on a mix of business-to-business and business-to-consumer brands from among select Dow Jones Industrial Average and other leading brands. In the lead were IBM (80) and Starbucks (82) while Bank of America (42) and McDonalds (40) trailed far behind, indicating that a company like McDonalds, which traditionally has done very well with TV commercials, is missing out on key web video opportunities.

Designed to help companies maximize their video marketing potential, the Pixability Video Grader provides tangible suggestions for optimizing video content across websites, YouTube and search engines. The Pixability Video Grader can also be used for competitive video tracking and benchmarking.

Pixability's Video Grader measures the video marketing effectiveness of companies using a proprietary algorithm that represents industry best practices. The Grader calculates a video marketing score between zero and 100 using data points like the number of Google Video search results, YouTube views, video metadata, and video presence on a company's website. For instance, a video grade of 98 indicates that a company is using videos to market its business very effectively -- generating a lot of attention and getting high visibility in search engine results.
