Media Entertainment Tech Outlook | Thursday, June 02, 2022

Video content is an integral part of marketing tactics geared at younger generations, and when properly targeted, it can produce excellent results.

FREMONT, CA: For over a century, the moving image has kept us entertained. Today, however, you can discover big companies, tiny businesses, and market-leading influencers all fighting for your attention via an eclectic mix of cutting-edge video content on any social media platform. Indeed, video has emerged as one of the essential marketing platforms available. Attracting customers has become a crucial role for businesses and companies. Today's companies must be well-versed in their fields if they wish to catch the interest of a viewership that is, to put it bluntly, spoiled for choice when it comes to video content. 

It helps in targeting new audiences 

Marketers are increasingly focusing their efforts on Generation Z and carefully considering how to approach them. Instead, this generation of digital natives absorbs information predominantly through social media. Video content reigns supreme for them. The average Gen Z consumer spends 3.4 hours per day watching videos on the internet. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for brands looking to reach an audience that has previously proven difficult to approach.

Video-based on a great story attracts the audience 

Brands can use the video material to communicate a story, with the added benefit of possibly selling a product. Communication via story aids in the development of an emotional connection, which can have a significant impact on client retention. Brands can combine their messaging with exciting and educational material by communicating through storytelling, making it significantly more likely that consumers will give up their valuable time to watch it.

It helps in effective trust creation 

Producing, editing, and sharing video content on social media is now easier. Of course, this makes it a little more challenging to stand out from the crowd, but it also has some amazing advantages, such as authenticity and trust. Brands may use video content to demonstrate to customers who they are, what they stand for, and where they're going. Brands may use video to convey personality, recast current storylines, and even redefine themselves as a firm.

Effective generation of actionable data and Insights 

When organizations use video on their social media channels, they receive instant access to a wealth of data. Viewers who are actively engaged can be taken on a user journey that is entirely dictated by their video viewing behavior. Viewers who have watched the entire film can be targeted with advertisements, and those who have abandoned videos early can be offered information tailored to their interests. The video even allows you to test multiple narratives, tones, and styles with different audiences, pinpointing the most successful message for each target market.
