Vidude: The Only Video Platform Built for New Zealand
In a world dominated by global platforms, New Zealand creators, businesses, and communities often struggle to be seen and heard. That’s why Vidude was created — a local-first video platform built right here in Aotearoa. Unlike overseas giants, Vidude is designed specifically to support Kiwi culture, empower small businesses, and give every New Zealander a voice in the digital landscape.
Why a New Zealand-Owned Platform Matters
Most video platforms are controlled by multinational corporations with priorities far from our shores. While these platforms provide global reach, they rarely put Kiwi creators or local businesses at the centre. For too long, New Zealand stories have been buried beneath international trends, leaving our voices underrepresented.
Vidude changes that. As the only video platform built specifically for New Zealand, it ensures that our culture, communities, and creators are front and centre. From Te Reo Māori content to local business advertising, Vidude is an ecosystem built with Aotearoa in mind.
Supporting Kiwi Creators From Day One
On many global platforms, creators face high thresholds before they can earn a cent. Hours of watch time, large subscriber counts, and complex algorithms make monetisation inaccessible for smaller voices. But in New Zealand, the creative landscape is made up of thousands of emerging musicians, educators, vloggers, and storytellers who deserve recognition without unnecessary barriers.
Vidude allows creators to start monetising from their first upload. Whether you’re a student filmmaker in Dunedin, a food vlogger in Wellington, or a kapa haka group in Rotorua, your content has a home — and the opportunity to generate income — from the very beginning.
Empowering Local Businesses With Affordable Video Advertising
Advertising on global platforms can be prohibitively expensive, with Kiwi SMEs forced to compete against international corporations with multi-million-dollar budgets. This often results in wasted spend and limited visibility.
Vidude levels the playing field. By offering affordable, region-specific advertising, it gives local businesses — from real estate agencies and retail shops to tourism operators and tradies — the tools they need to connect directly with New Zealand audiences. Every advertising dollar stays within the local economy, supporting growth at home instead of being funnelled overseas.
Celebrating New Zealand Culture Through Video
New Zealand is home to a rich cultural landscape that deserves to be showcased. On Vidude, Te Reo Māori, Pacific storytelling, rural community voices, and Kiwi humour all find a platform where they are celebrated, not sidelined. Global algorithms don’t always understand our unique culture, but Vidude does.
By putting local stories first, Vidude not only gives Kiwis the opportunity to share their voices but also strengthens cultural identity for future generations. It’s more than just video hosting — it’s cultural preservation in the digital era.

How Vidude Strengthens Communities
