According to the companies, the partnership enables Nikkei to launch advertising-supported online video features on its site and extend the reach of its video content through sharing and embedding features for third-party sites and social networks.
The platform is slated to launch on 23 March.
Brightcove has additionally teamed with Japan’s content-delivery network J-Stream to support streaming media services across Nikkei’s website properties.
Brightcove is a Boston-based company that provides video technology to media partners including Time, The New York Times and CondeNast as well as agencies such as VivaKi and Ogilvy. In December, Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten also partnered with Brightcove for online video.
