IT STARTS WITH A GREAT IDEA

A video idea should align with the rest of your content, including personas, pillars and tone of voice. That idea should permeate every aspect of your strategy. But is that idea good enough?

There’s a big difference between content and good content. Entertainment has to be top of mind if you want to make good content.

Entertainment doesn’t have to mean funny. Strong emotions on either end of the spectrum produce successful results for video.

VIDEO ON MY BUDGET?

Your duty in the marketplace is to educate consumers. It’s your responsibility as a brand to educate. If you don’t, you are missing out on the opportunity to be a leader.

EDUCATING YOUR AUDIENCE IS PARAMOUNT

The average human attention span has dropped to eight seconds. Video presents an opportunity for brands to capture the attention of viewers and pass on knowledge and information in a visually stimulating way.

We know that when people are emotionally engaged, they’re going to remember.

EMOTION DRIVES ENGAGEMENT

85%of thinking is below cognitive level. As we consume content, our subconscious influences our reaction more than we care to recognise.

Brands that create inspiring and emotionally captivating video content are a step ahead of the competition. People who watch and share video are 30% more likely to talk to their friends and family about it, so it’s clear that video is a powerful medium to build brand awareness and trust with your audience.

If the consumer likes the content, they’re going to like and share it. It doesn’t really matter if there’s a brand behind it.
