The Value of Video

Engage, Educate & Activate Your Audience.

The more emotionally captivating the content, the easier it is to consume, & more likely your viewers are to take action — that’s our simple, subtle strategy.

Establish Credibility.

Using video to represent your brand illustrates the value you offer in ways other mediums simply cannot. The combination of sight & sound grants you the opportunity to make an intimate connection & leave a lasting impression on your target audience—without ever meeting in person.

Did you know search engines like Google measure the credibility of web content by the length of time people engage with it? You’re 53 times more likely to appear on the first page of a search if you have a YouTube video embedded on your landing page because Google owns YouTube!

Expand & Understand Your Reach.

There are some very concrete ways to determine the effectiveness of your video content. Beyond the basic measurements of social engagement, likes, comments & shares, video also enables you to measure click-through rates, the demographics of viewers, the number of times a video was watched & even for how long. Knowing the specifics of what is working & what is not can provide tremendous insight into how to keep successfully moving forward.
