Local Video, Global Reach: How Vidude Elevates Kiwi Voices
In today’s digital world, video is the most powerful way to share stories, build communities, and grow businesses. For New Zealand creators, however, global platforms often prioritise international content, leaving Kiwi voices underrepresented. Vidude is changing that. As New Zealand’s own video platform, Vidude empowers local creators, businesses, and communities to reach both local and global audiences while keeping the focus on Aotearoa.
The Challenges for New Zealand Creators on Global Platforms
Global video platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook offer vast reach but come with unique challenges for Kiwi creators:
- Algorithm bias → Local content can get buried under international trends.
- Monetisation barriers → Small and mid-size creators struggle to earn without high subscriber counts or watch hours.
- High advertising costs → Competing with multinational brands drives up campaign budgets.
- Limited cultural representation → Te Reo Māori, Pacific voices, and local stories are often overlooked.
Vidude addresses these challenges by putting Kiwi creators and audiences first, ensuring that local stories are visible, monetisable, and celebrated.
Vidude: A Platform Built for Aotearoa
Vidude was created to give New Zealand creators a digital home where they can showcase their talents and connect with audiences that truly matter. It combines the accessibility of social video with the control and support Kiwi creators need to thrive.

- Monetisation from day one → Earn revenue immediately without needing millions of views.
- Creator tools → Analytics, insights, and publishing tools built for New Zealand creators and businesses.

By combining local focus with global reach potential, Vidude allows creators to start small in New Zealand and scale internationally when ready.
