Video marketing has been unanimously chosen as one of the rising stars in marketing.
WHY?
Visual storytelling is not an overnight sensation, but the result of the science behind how we absorb information, the rise of mobile usage and continued innovation in the field of social media. The human brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text and 90 percent of the information transmitted to the brain is visual.
1.8 Million Words.
That’s the value of one minute of video, according to Dr. James McQuivey of Forrester Research.
Do you have the time and energy to write 1.8 million words? That’s the equivalent of 3,600 typical web pages. If you write an average of one web page an hour, it would take you 150 days of writing to achieve the impact of one minute of video.

What to do if you do not have a big TV broadcasting budget?
Online channels. Nowadays they even perform better that TV. When it comes to potential reach, video is peerless. YouTube receives more than one billion unique visitors every month – that’s more than any other channel, apart from Facebook.
Youtube
Last Google report reveals that YouTube ads generate a better return on investment than TV commercials most of the time. The company conducted a meta-analysis of 56 case studies from brands within six different types of industries, across eight countries in Europe between 2013 and 2016, as well as its own research. Google concluded, in the study published Wednesday to coincide with Advertising Week Europe in London, that at current spend levels, “YouTube delivers a higher return on investment than TV in 77% of studies.” Nielsen also conducted a study with this conclusion: Advertising on Youtube is better for local businesses than advertising on TV.
In 2015, Facebook announced that its video viewership doubled from 4 billion views per day to 8 billion views per day in a period of seven months. Video ads are the best product to put to use on Facebook: 50% of those who clicked on a video ad watched for at least 30 seconds, and auto-play has driven even further engagements.
In your website
Online videos bridge the gap between online and off-line commerce, as well as greatly increasing conversion rates for a wide range of industries — particularly e-commerce websites. Online users who viewed a product video were much more likely to convert over users who simply viewed an ad. Engage viewers and they will share the video with others. They will spend longer on your website and more time interacting with your brand. For any social media campaign, any SEO exercise, video is without doubt one of the best tools in the kit.
Is your company or brand suitable for video advertising?
2015 saw incredible growth in the use of video content by marketers in both B2C and B2B markets. And video is no longer just a tool for brand awareness. Top marketers in the world are now using video throughout the funnel to better engage and educate prospects, enhance lead scoring and nurture streams, and boost overall conversion rates.
