What is VEVO?

Vevo is a premium music video company committed to providing a voice and a global platform to emerging and established artists from Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group.

Vevo, whose name combines video and evolution, wanted to change the way music videos reach fans. Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and EMI formed the venture in 2009, with Warner Music group joining the fun in 2016. EMI eventually left the partnership to pursue its own music video delivery system.

The Vevo.com website originally was a music video-streaming platform. Along with its companion mobile app, Vevo was successful at first with both viewers and advertisers. A partnership and profit-sharing agreement with Google meant that Vevo’s videos also streamed on YouTube.

But YouTube and Vevo jostled for power and control. In 2018, Vevo waved the white flag and conceded to YouTube’s monster reach. Going forward, Vevo announced it would shutter its streaming service and apps and focus on cultivating and sharing original content through other channels.

Vevo is now responsible for releasing more than 450,000 videos, with more than a billion viewing hours for its videos each month. Aside from showcasing its artists, Vevo produces original shows, including Ctrl, which follows the journeys of urban music artists, and Rounds, which looks at European artists.

What are the disadvantages of a Vevo channel?

Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks to getting your own Vevo canal. Definitely worth considering all the downsides of a Vevo canal before deciding if you want to set one up.

 

• Lack of control

One of the downsides is that you can’t update the channel yourself. You need to send a request to your video distributor to have the following details changed:

• Artist image
• Channel banners
• Trailer video
• Social media links
• “About” section
• Google Analytics tracking
• Linking of Google ads (limited)
• Recommended channels
• Playlists

1710Media can make changes and updates to your video and channel info on your behalf as an approved distributor.

 

• Inability to access some useful functions

You also won’t be able to access your subscriber list, which is a major downside.

Nor can you fully track your YouTube conversions through Google Ads to see how your ads are really doing. When you promote your Vevo video in Google Ads, you can only track its views and clicks.
