Cloudinary Accelerates Profitable Growth in 2019

More Than 750 New Customers Across a Number of Key Verticals Adopt Cloudinary Market-Leading and Innovative Media Management Solutions

Cloudinary, the media management platform for many of the world’s top brands, announced record annual revenue and customer growth for 2019. As a profitable, self-funded software company now generating more than $60 million in annual recurring revenue, Cloudinary has distinguished itself as one of the more successful SaaS businesses today. It was one of only six companies named to the 2019 Forbes Cloud 100 with little or zero outside funding.

“2019 was another pivotal year for Cloudinary as we further strengthened our dynamic media platform and our footprint with both customers and partners around the world,” said Itai Lahan, CEO and Co-founder of Cloudinary. “Now more than ever, companies understand how essential visuals are when connecting and engaging audiences. We look forward to helping them more easily create and deliver visual-rich experiences.”

Cloudinary now serves more than 6,000 customers and over 600,000 users across a variety of key verticals, including media, entertainment and travel. In particular Cloudinary has seen strong growth in eCommerce and retail, where it supports more than 50 brands named to the Internet Retailer 100. Cloudinary welcomed more than 750 new customers in 2019, including Fashion Network, Ted Baker, Lyft, Red Bull Media House and Neiman Marcus.

Product innovation and adoption

Cloudinary accelerated its organic growth in part by driving widespread adoption of its Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution, which launched in June of 2018. Building upon its trusted image and video management platforms for web developers, Cloudinary’s DAM brings world-class media management capabilities to non-technical creative and marketing users responsible for delivering optimal web and mobile experiences.

Cloudinary also overhauled its leading video management platform with a new AI foundation that automates critical video workflows. With 2,000 customers and video bandwidth tripling on the Cloudinary platform alone in just a few months in 2019, the new AI capabilities deliver engaging, dynamic video at scale in minutes. In addition, Cloudinary expanded its media management solution for e-commerce vendors, making it easier to create engaging and personalized shopper experiences, and deliver them quickly.
