Here Are The 11 Best Websites to Buy Viral Videos
If you’re looking to license viral videos, then you probably already know: lawsuits and the legalities around using User Generated Content (UGC) have made our ability to leverage this content increasingly challenging, especially for agency creatives. Sourcing content, specifically video, can be a very difficult task. First, you have to find the content, then get permission to use it from the videographer, then lock in approval on the brand side, then get legal approval internally, then externally, and only then is your campaign safe to leverage the content on Owned & Operated platforms, commercials, etc. Then, then, then!
