2. 85% of YouTube visitors
are there to listen to
Music…
…several times larger than the combined total number of
listeners signed up to all streaming platforms. (Forbes, 27/09/17)
We are capitalising on the explosion of video consumption.
Globally, internet video traffic will be 82% of all internet
traffic by 2021 (Cisco, 07/06/17).
This year, YouTube launches their dedicated music service and
Spotify added looping videos to artist profiles. This means more
Music Videos, Promos, Lyrics Videos and Fan Videos.
3. More than 30 Million Songs
are YET to have a music video
Midia Research 2017
95% of generation Z can’t live without YouTube.
Songs with Music Videos get around 2x the amount
of views on YouTube. Lyrics Videos get up to 4x.
Only around 5% of released music will have an
accompanying video. There are around 550,000
songs released each year.
4. Musicians, Record Labels and
Catalogue Owners can’t afford
to make videos for EVERY track
YouTube is the ultimate destination, but creating videos is
expensive, time-consuming and difficult.

14. Competition
Rotor differs in that it doesn’t aim to create a
“one size fits all” solution for one-off videos.
We’re building tools for verticals where:
• Regular video creation is necessary
• Video is a monetisable asset
• Video is an intrinsic requirement
We also have the added benefits of:
• Unique, industry specific clip libraries
• Content community and marketplace
• Multi-format, collaborative potential
