Newsflare

The company operates a two-sided content licensing marketplace. On the supply side, contributors upload video clips and retain ownership of their content while granting the platform the right to license those clips. On the demand side, publishers, broadcasters and production companies browse and purchase licences for individual videos or packages via published rate cards or custom enterprise deals. The platform manages rights clearance, pricing, distribution, transaction processing and reporting.

Value is created for buyers by providing cleared, ready-to-license user-generated and newsworthy video content without them needing to source and contract with individual creators. Value is created for contributors by providing distribution, sales and rights management plus transparent reporting and revenue share on each licence sold. The platform captures value through its share of each licensing transaction and any additional fees embedded in bespoke enterprise arrangements.

Newsflare Limited is a UK-based online marketplace that sources user-generated and freelance video clips and licenses them to professional buyers. It focuses on news, viral and production-ready footage which buyers can license on a per-clip basis via standardised packages or bespoke enterprise arrangements. The company acts as an intermediary between individual video contributors and publishers, broadcasters and production companies.

Revenue is generated primarily from licensing fees paid by media and production clients, with Newsflare retaining a percentage of each transaction and paying the remainder to contributors under a revenue-share model. Its customers are predominantly publishers and production-focused organisations that need cleared video content, while individual videographers and contributors use the platform to monetise their footage rather than to purchase services.
