Video Marketing is a Must for All Businesses!

Video communications enable marketers to transmit messages faster, enabling organizations to connect with audiences.

The ability to convey a story is a key reason why digital video communications have grown in popularity among marketers. Unlike traditional television advertising, online video enables organizations to use video content that focuses on storytelling without being restricted by time and content limitations. Brands can easily distribute digital video communications through email or via social media networks.

According to Ooyala, the shift towards branded content as a digital marketing strategy has caused more organizations to embrace video communications. As consumers interact with brands via online and mobile devices, they are looking for digital content as part of their product purchase cycle.

If a business is not using video, they are now behind the competition, according to Sage Lewis, a leading Digital Marketing expert.
