Advertise With Vidude

In a digital landscape dominated by global platforms, New Zealand creators often struggle to get noticed. International algorithms favour global trends, leaving Kiwi voices buried and small creators overlooked. That’s why Vidude was made for Aotearoa — a local-first video platform designed specifically to empower Kiwi creators, small businesses, and communities to share their stories, grow audiences, and monetise content effectively.


Understanding the Challenges for New Zealand Creators

Global video platforms offer massive reach but come with significant barriers for Kiwi creators:

  • Algorithm bias → Local content is often buried under international trends.
  • Monetisation hurdles → Small and mid-size creators struggle to meet high thresholds to earn revenue.
  • High advertising costs → Competing with multinational corporations makes campaigns expensive.
  • Lack of local focus → New Zealand culture, te reo Māori, and Pacific voices can be overlooked.

Vidude addresses these challenges by putting Kiwi creators first, offering local-first visibility, monetisation from day one, and affordable opportunities for businesses to promote their brands to real New Zealand audiences.


Why Vidude Prioritises Kiwi Creators

At its core, Vidude is designed to amplify New Zealand voices. Whether you’re a vlogger in Auckland, a musician in Wellington, an educator in Christchurch, or a filmmaker in Queenstown, Vidude gives creators a platform tailored to their needs.

  • Local-first discovery → Kiwi content is promoted to New Zealand audiences, ensuring creators are seen by the right viewers.
  • Monetisation from day one → Earn revenue without waiting for global thresholds or large subscriber counts.
  • Creator-focused tools → Analytics, insights, and video management designed for Kiwi users.
  • Community collaboration → Connect with other New Zealand creators and businesses to amplify reach.

This local-first approach empowers creators to grow sustainably while maintaining authenticity, rather than being forced to chase global trends for visibility.


Supporting New Zealand Businesses Through Video

Video is one of the most effective ways to engage customers, but global advertising platforms can be expensive and complex. Vidude offers affordable, local-first advertising for New Zealand SMEs, tradies, real estate agencies, tourism operators, and e-commerce businesses.

  • Targeted campaigns → Reach real New Zealand customers by region, interest, or community.
  • Budget-friendly options → Designed for small and medium businesses looking to maximise ROI.
  • Analytics and insights → Measure engagement, conversions, and campaign effectiveness easily.
  • Support Kiwi creators → Advertising dollars stay in Aotearoa, growing local creative communities.

Whether it’s promoting a local café in Wellington, a tour business in Rotorua, or a boutique online store in Dunedin, Vidude ensures campaigns are relevant and cost-effective for Kiwi audiences.


Celebrating New Zealand Culture and Identity

Vidude is more than a video platform; it’s a space that reflects New Zealand’s unique culture. By prioritising local stories, te reo Māori, Pacific voices, and community-driven content, Vidude ensures that the platform celebrates diversity and inclusion.

  • Promoting local language and culture → Content in Te Reo Māori and Pacific languages is supported and highlighted.
  • Community storytelling → Local events, cultural festivals, and creative projects are easily shared with New Zealand audiences.
  • Collaboration opportunities → Creators, businesses, and community groups can connect to amplify their content.

By showcasing New Zealand culture authentically, Vidude helps creators and businesses engage audiences who care about local relevance and community impact.

Vidude adheres to EEAT principles — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness — ensuring that users can rely on the platform for quality, local-first content:

  • Experience → Built by New Zealand media professionals and entrepreneurs who understand the local market.
  • Expertise → Purpose-built for video creation, publishing, and marketing tailored to New Zealand audiences.
  • Authoritativeness → Trusted by Kiwi creators, SMEs, and community organisations.
