About Us

The WinkBall Project is the future of video communication. Through a quintessentially British combination of academic and commercial inventiveness, we have developed a series of exciting new tools for online communication. WinkBall bridges the emotional gap found in current online communication channels - by bringing people closer together using the emotional power of video.

The WinkBall Project has today established new possibilities for corporate video messaging, personalised video advertising, public campaigning and private video networks. Current services include: WinkBall.com, a free online video messaging and sharing service for the public, WinkBall Base, an internal video communications system, and WinkBall Broadcaster, for video broadcasting, email campaigning and personalised video messaging through WinkBall.com and WinkBall Base.

Established in London in 2005 by Dr. James Ohene-Djan and Duncan Barclay, the WinkBall project team has evolved to become a leading player in driving the future development of online communication. Based in West London, our team of dedicated professionals are drawn from the fields of programming, business, e-commerce, media, academia, design, film, journalism and anthropology.

Why Video?

The Internet needs to fulfil its role as a means of connecting people to each other rather than the traditional role of just connecting people to documents. Video communication enables degrees of emotional consciousness - and richer dialogue - that is not available through text.

The proliferation of high-speed broadband and the improved processing power of mobile devices have vastly increased the public's access to the Internet and their ability to communicate with each other, particularly through video.

Improved Internet access has also seen the convergence of media and technology - enabling people to move beyond text as a means of mass communication.

WinkBall offers people and organisations the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint - and the cost of flights - by enabling effective communication within a secure private space.
