Blings’ MP5 Technology is an interactive video format. Unlike static MP4 files, MP5 videos personalize in real time based on each viewer’s profile, behavior, or CRM data. Brands use MP5 to deliver one-to-one video experiences that increase engagement, conversion, and retention across email, SMS, and web.

Blings stands out by combining real-time personalization, interactivity, and full CRM integration in a single HTML-based video format. While traditional platforms rely on static MP4 videos, Blings’ patented MP5 technology generates each video on-device through On-Demand Generation, ensuring every viewer receives a unique experience instantly without pre-built server files or delays.

Blings is Headquartered in New York City, with offices in Asia, Australia, Europe and South America.

Blings is committed to enterprise-grade data protection. All personalized video experiences are powered by encrypted, GDPR- and CCPA-compliant infrastructure. No sensitive customer data is stored within the video files themselves. Instead, Blings securely pulls information in real time from your CRM, ensuring that user privacy and compliance are always maintained.

Faster than a standard video project. Once your CRM is connected and your first Smart Video template is built, publishing a Smart Video Link takes minutes. Enterprise teams launch their first campaign in as little as 72 hours after onboarding, and every campaign after that is quicker.

Blings operates globally, with clients and partners across North America, Europe, and Latin America. Our platform is cloud-based and accessible anywhere, allowing teams in North America, Europe, and beyond to create, distribute, and analyze interactive video campaigns seamlessly.

Yes. Blings powers personalized video production at scale. Our technology supports millions of video variations from a single template, making it ideal for enterprise campaigns across industries like retail, QSR, travel, and sports. For creative teams, Blings integrates with Adobe After Effects, ensuring full creative control while maintaining scalability.

Yes, and deployment is simpler than most people expect. Blings connects to your CRM or data platform: Braze, Salesforce, HubSpot, and others. To deploy, you copy the Smart Video Link and paste it into your existing campaign, the same way you would drop in any other link or merge tag. If your team can send a personalized email, they can deploy a Smart Video. No new workflow, and no engineering project.

Blings is built for mid-market and enterprise brands that send customer communications at scale. If your team runs CRM, loyalty, or lifecycle campaigns across a large audience, Blings is a strong fit. If you are a smaller team, book a demo and we will help you assess whether it matches your goals.

Blings MP5 videos can be delivered via first party channels, email, SMS, push notifications, in-app messaging, web pages, and social media links. Because MP5 is HTML-based rather than a file download, any channel that supports a URL can carry a Blings personalized video. Clients like McDonald’s, Live Nation, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have used Blings across email and in-app channels to drive measurable engagement and conversion lifts.

Yes. Blings MP5 videos support embedded interactivity including clickable CTAs, forms, product selectors, countdown timers, and polls all within the video player itself. Viewers can complete actions like making a purchase or registering for an event without leaving the video. This interactivity is a core differentiator from standard MP4 video, which is passive and non-interactive.

Blings provides a real-time analytics dashboard tracking video completion rate, click-through rate, individual viewer interactions, conversions, and share rate. Metrics are available at both the campaign level and the individual-viewer level. For example, campaigns run by the Cleveland Cavaliers achieved a 62% open rate and a 53% share rate, both tracked directly through Blings’ analytics.

Blings’ AI Optimization uses machine learning to automatically test multiple video variations within a live campaign and route each viewer to the best-performing version in real time. This eliminates manual A/B testing and allows campaigns to self-improve over time. The feature is built into the Blings platform and does not require additional setup by the marketing team.

Blings serves clients across retail, quick-service restaurants, automotive, sports and entertainment, financial services, travel, and higher education. Notable clients include McDonald’s, Mercedes-Benz, Live Nation, Cleveland Cavaliers, Estée Lauder, Samsung, Volvo, Honda, Singapore Airlines, and University of the People. The platform is used wherever brands need to deliver personalized, data-driven communications at scale.

No. Blings is built for marketers and requires no coding. The platform includes a Smart Video template library, drag-and-drop personalization, and CRM connectors that your team configures with guidance from ours. For advanced customization, Blings also supports Adobe After Effects and API access.

Yes. Blings integrates directly with Adobe After Effects, so creative teams can build in their existing workflow and apply Blings’ personalization and interactivity layer on top. Existing video assets can serve as the foundation for an MP5 experience. This makes adoption faster for brands that already have video creative in production.

Yes. Blings’ On-Device Generation is patented technology. The patent covers the core method behind the MP5: generating personalized, data-driven video as code on the viewer’s device, rather than pre-generating a separate file for every viewer on a server. This is what lets a single Smart Video template adapt in real time for every customer while keeping their data private.

Privacy is built into the architecture, not bolted on. Because Blings uses On-Demand Generation, each Smart Video is generated on-device at the Moment of Open, so Blings never sees or stores your customer PII. This is the Zero-Knowledge Architecture: your data stays in your environment and is applied to the template only at the moment of generation. On top of that, Blings is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, so the platform meets recognized enterprise standards for security, availability, and data handling.

Blings is an enterprise platform, so we do not offer a free or self-serve plan. Every engagement starts with a short call where our team scopes your use case, connects your CRM, and builds your first Smart Video with you. Book a demo to see it in action and get pricing for your volume.

Blings generates each video on-device in real time at the Moment of Open, with no pre-generation or batch processing. This architecture allows the platform to serve millions of unique personalized video experiences simultaneously with no delay or performance loss. A single video template can generate unlimited individualized variations, making Blings viable for enterprise campaigns with audiences in the millions.

It depends on the stage, so here is the honest breakdown:

Template to live: seconds. Once your template is built and your data is mapped, generating and publishing the Smart Video Link takes seconds.
Design and data mapping: hours to days. Building the template creative and mapping your data fields is the real work, and the timeline scales with complexity.
Custom enterprise builds: up to 72 hours. Bespoke scenes, advanced logic, or deeper integrations are handled with our team.

You still have options. Blings can collect data at the Moment of Open through the Smart Video itself: interactive scenes, form fields, quizzes, and click choices let the viewer supply information in the moment. You can also start with the data you do have, even a single field like first name, and enrich over time. A thin data set is a starting point, not a blocker.

You send the Smart Video Link, not a file. Blings generates one Smart Video Link that you deploy across channels: email, SMS, WhatsApp, landing pages, and in-app. Paste it into your CRM campaign, embed it, or share it as a personalized URL (PURL). For product and developer use cases, the SDK lets you embed the Smart Video directly in your own app or site. One link, every channel.
