Alex Morris, Vidsy's Co-Founder: “We started Vidsy 2 years ago at University, with the vision of changing video advertising with a model that would work for everyone, from brands to agencies, creators to publishers.

Being recognised by Facebook, the world's biggest authority on mobile video, is a massive honour and it shows how much our team, clients and creators have achieved in so little time.”
