THE BASICS…
Audiences browsing the internet, now more than ever, have far shorter attention spans. With an ability to convey images, audio and text, videos allow viewers to consume information and stories far more effectively. Utilising video on your website can also positively impact your SEO, improve engagement and conversion rates. With video being the most consumed form of content online and Google now optimising for mobile delivery, it’s essential that you’re putting the video at the heart of your content marketing strategy.
Website & SEO Checklist:

Are you using a sitemap?
Have you included meta descriptions throughout all of your web pages?
Is your website compatible across all devices (desktop, mobile, tablet)

Social Media
Sharing your video on as many relevant social channels as possible will provide the highest chances of your content being viewed and shared. Understand WHERE your audience hangs out and then create content for that specific channel. It’s important to remember that different platforms will require a unique approach. Smart marketers will adopt a multi-platform approach, developing content specifically for those channels. Social media marketing can be hugely effective when deployed correctly. Don’t waste the opportunity to speak directly with your target audience - with the right message - on the right platform.
