The Importance of Video For Brand Marketing
05 April 2017 | 0 comments | Posted by Jason Thorne in Industry Experts
Jason Thorne is an animator and motion director who cut his teeth at BaseTwo and Clearwater and loves pushing the envelope in all things visual. He gives us his take on why
The truth is video content has become easily accessible medium now more than ever before. This rise in video popularity rides the wave of affordability of faster broadband and with a fair share of business
Video marketing has found its home online
Online visibility and presence are, in the current age, a crucial part of starting and maintaining a successful business and it would thus be more beneficial for companies striving to stay at the foreground of a competitive market to use video as their primary advertising tool. Video competes in a different search space to other content mediums and has proven to improve SEO. A video can increase the likelihood of landing on the front-page Google search results by up to 53 times.
Why video marketing works
Videos are also more successful as marketing tools because they demand more of the consumer’s attention than other mediums, capturing from both a visual and audio standpoint, making them faster to consume and easier to remember.

As a result emails with video links receive approximately twice the number of Click-Throughs as their text-based counterparts. More than just entertainment however video is proving to have an emotional charge that connects with people because it is the most accessible medium that most closely replicates real life. For instance, instead of a writer describing the emotional state of a subject, in a video, you can see it in the subject’s facial expression and body language which can be seen and understood in less time than it would take to read a sequence of sentences leading up to the same point.
Consumers are consumed by video
Video in the age of mass content consumption is the most efficient way to communicate with the masses because it lets the producer and consumer get the most from their time investment: information and entertainment all integrated into one, easy to quantify and distribute (even self-distributing).
