+1 for YouTube and other social networking services. There is also a   
postgres-backed company that has hosted high quality video for us in  
the past. I'll dig up that contact if what you want is long term  
storage only.

But if the point is marketing and reaching out beyond out normal  
borders, YouTube, flickr, and other socially-oriented services are  
going to be the most effective.
