Why Video?

Video-based marketing is the use of pre-recorded video, animations, or presentations with audio that are uses for external prospect and customer communications. Videos can be used on third party sites, like video sharing sites and social networks, as part of the external web experience, or shared directly with prospects and customers.

While marketing awareness is the most prevalent use case for video based marketing, companies are not only more likely to use video, they are increasingly more likely to use video throughout the buyer’s journey from awareness, to consideration, through to post-sales.

Every marketer knows how difficult it can be to rise above the noise, even with the most well-developed messaging. Your buyer is inudated with information and offers, the majority of which never get viewed. That’s why many marketers are incorporating video into their content based marketing repertoire.
