Foap is a compelling and unique startup concept with a simple idea: you can upload photos and videos you’ve taken with your smartphone for brands to use in their digital and social media marketing. Foap takes advantage of the growing trend of citizen journalism and user-generated content. Foap’s new Brand platform can be viewed as an alternative to stock photography or video footage.
This app—available for Android or iPhone users—allows brands to post missions that require sourcing photos or videos, and users can take photos or shoot videos with their phones and upload them to Foap, where they can earn rewards. The level of investment required from brands is relatively small, while the benefits are potentially huge.
Using the platform, brands can buy photos and videos from Foap users. The service works on the principle of licensing, meaning that copyright is assigned to Foap, but its users retain the right to future use.
