Video Content Marketing

Posted by Lauren Austin on 4th March 2020

A ‘nice’ option, or a necessity?

Video content combines audio and visual senses. As humans, we find videos more engaging, memorable, and more popular than any other type of content out there. The sheer volume of Video Content Marketing online is growing rapidly. Thats why it‘s more important than ever that you keep up with emerging trends.

One of our local clients recently recognised the need for fresh, engaging content. They commissioned VI to produce video content marketing at their conference event.

This busy event was a great opportunity to source client testimonials. We also conducted interviews with industry professionals. Additionally, we provided supporting photography. The footage will be incorporated into their ongoing marketing strategy and used as promotional or informative material.

The facts behind the claims!

Video content marketing has taken the social media world by storm. In fact, 81% of businesses now using video as a marketing tool..

A ‘giant’ task in more ways than one…

This month, we have also completed a video shoot for a National Distribution Centre in Northampton. It processes and transports medicines and medical equipment across the UK and Europe.

The UK Warehouse Manager recognised the need to improve their staff training material. Therefore, commissioned VI to produce a new branded video to be used in their new starter ‘welcome’ / training days.

VI spent the day on-site, shooting the entire NDC process from receipt of goods to transportation. We have worked in many similar locations during our time. But the vast expanse of this particular warehouse provided a new challenge, even for us!

Best Practices

Videos under two minutes long usually get the most engagement. Because of this, you must prioritise your key content. Decide what is most important before producing your brand video.
