Stringr, an ad marketplace that allows media organisations to buy video footage from both amateur and professional videographers, has expanded into the United Kingdom.

Through this expansion, UK-based broadcasters, publishers and brands can source, edit and publish custom footage from 80,000+ videographers across the globe.

Since launching in Britain, Stringr said that it has recruited 3,000 local videographers across major cities and remote areas. Later this year, Stringr plans to launch similar recruitment efforts across the European continent, it said.

“Stringr helps the largest media organizations in the US source custom video,” said Lindsay Stewart, CEO and co-founder of Stringr. “Offering the same service of getting video fast and at a scalable price point to companies in the UK is a natural extension of what we already do, and a part of our larger plan to roll out to the rest of Europe over the next year.”

Professional and amateur videographers can contribute to Stringr’s content library, which is made available to media organisations for B-roll purposes and the like. Stringr also recently announced the availability of its livestreaming function.
