The rise of video marketing

30 May 2017 | | Creative Design, Marketing

The use of video in digital marketing has seen a dramatic rise over the past year. Trends have shown more and more Companies switching to video content every year in an effort to stay relevant among their competition.

Social media platforms have become one of the primary means of broadcasting video content online. Snapchat and Facebook are the current leaders with over 10 billion short videos being watched every day.

With Facebook’s release of new features such as Facebook Live, 360-degree photos and video comments, it is clear that the site has jumped on the video trend and is decreasing their emphasis on the written word.

360-degree videos have gained more popularity, opening more opportunities for businesses to engage in video marketing.

Posting video content on e-commerce websites is also a hugely popular and effective means of increasing conversions.

Types of Videos:

  • Explainers
  • Promos
  • YouTube
  • Vlogs
  • Social
  • Webinars
  • Product
  • Testimonials
  • How To’s
  • One to One
