“Look where others aren't focusing.” says Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud. Aiming to make Vimeo a leader
like Netflix, she's worked tirelessly to transform the company. Vimeo shifted from a media platform
investing in content to a tech company empowering creators, fueling rapid growth. Today, over 80
million members share remarkable stories from around the world every millisecond.
How did Anjali Sud change the entire business of Vimeo? Let's look at the marketing strategies
she adopted for this transition.
Vimeo, a viewing platform purely based on content, found itself entering into various content
wars where the market price of original content increased from millions to billions overnight. Anjali
decided to bring back Vimeo to its basics. Instead of charging the audience, Vimeo offered paid
subscription plans for creators to access advanced tools on the platform. By processing the changes,
Anjali Sud redefined Vimeo's vision and values for long-term success.
Anjali Sud believes that businesses can better address their shortcomings through self-awareness.
Vimeo demonstrated this when it recognized its lack of knowledge in live streaming, a demanding
feature among the creator community. Accepting this shortcoming and looking at an alternative solution
helped Vimeo purchase a Livestream company that launched the live video product. This combination of
Vimeo and Livestream proved to be a powerful solution in the market for professional live streaming.
Vimeo's mission is to empower creators to tell exceptional stories, focusing on individuals and
small to medium-sized businesses for video creation and distribution. In the dynamic environment, what
kept Vimeo sustaining and winning were some harsh decisions taken by Anjali Sud, for instance, non-
display of advertisements even after 14 years of its existence. This commitment helps simplify the
user experience, enabling businesses and professionals to create and distribute video content while
keeping costs low.
With all of these marketing tactics, Vimeo is committed to putting creators first in the era of
content wars and overload advertisements on different platforms. It is really exciting that technology
platforms like Vimeo are enabling everyone to join the creator community and build their own video
business.
24. What does the underlined sentence reveal about Vimeo’ s path to success?
A. Thinking out of the box. B. Leading with focus.
C. Sticking to safe choices. D. Imitating successful models.
25. How did Anjali Sud redefine Vimeo's vision for long-term success?
A. By increasing viewer subscriptions.
B. By focusing on advertising income.
C. By expanding live streaming options.
D. By offering creators subscription plans.
26. What strategy did Vimeo use to address its live streaming limitation?
A. Building from scratch. B. Recognizing the gap.
C. Accepting the demand. D. Acquiring a company.
27. Who are Vimeo's target users?
A. Streaming services and broadcasters.
B. Individual creators and small companies.
C. Large corporations and media businesses.
D. Exceptional agencies and nonprofit organizations.
C
For students chasing lasting wealth, the best choice of a college major is less obvious than you
might think. Conventional wisdom says computer science and engineering majors have higher earnings
than liberal arts graduates. This is true for the first job, but the long-term story is more
complicated.
Computer science and engineering majors aged 23 and 25 earned an average of $61,744, according to
a recent survey. This was 37 percent higher than the average starting salary of$45,032 earned by
history or the social sciences majors. These engineers roughly doubled their starting salaries by age
40, to an average of $124,458. Yet earnings growth is even faster in other majors, and some catch up
completely. By age 40, the average salary of all college graduates was $111,870, and social science
and history majors earned $131,154— an average that is lifted, in part, by high-paying jobs in
management, business and law.
One reason for the narrowing gap is that STEM jobs change rapidly, and workers must constantly
learn new skills to keep up. Job ads for software developers and engineers were more likely to ask for
skills that didn't exist a decade earlier. We can also see this by looking at changes in college
course catalogs. Machine Learning, one of the largest courses in the Stanford computer science
department did not exist until 2003. Today, it enrolls more than a thousand students. In contrast,
liberal arts majors maintain a more traditional curriculum with fewer changes.
Why do the earnings of poets catch up? It's not because poetry suddenly pays the bills. Midcareer
salaries are highest in management and business occupations, fields which liberal arts majors are more
likely than STEM graduates to enter. A liberal arts education builds a set of foundational skills,
such as written communication, problem-solving, and the ability to work in a team, which serve
students well in a rapidly changing job market.
To clarify, I am not suggesting students avoiding STEM majors. But I do think we should be cautious
of the impulse to make college curriculums overly technical and career-focused. A four-year degree
should prepare students for the next 40 years of working life, and for a future that none of us can
imagine.
28. What do the figures in Paragraph 2 reveal?
A. Engineers earn less than social scientists.
B. STEM careers guarantee the highest pay.
C. Liberal arts earnings grow to match STEM.
D. Social science majors excel in high-paying fields.
29. What is the reason for the narrowing earnings gap?
