About BlueRush Inc. and IndiVideo
BlueRush Inc. is uniquely positioned within the online video market. Video is the fastest growing online content segment with leading analysts predicting that over 80% of content will be consumed as video by 2021. BlueRush develops and markets a disruptive Interactive & Personalized Video Platform called IndiVideo. IndiVideo utilizes proprietary technology that allows for two unique advantages over competitor personalized video technologies: (1) lower cost to mass-scale personalized videos, and (ii) ability to deploy behind any corporate firewall for increased security. These advantages are critical as they allow marketing departments to control their distribution costs, while deploying behind the firewall not only provides increased security but greater connectivity to the client’s data.

IndiVideo is integrated with BlueRush’s SaaS-based content engagement platform DigitalReach which delivers improved sales conversion metrics for over 75,000 financial advisors in some of the world’s most respected financial institutions.
