Why does video work? Nothing sells like TV or movies.
One of the most powerful factors in video communicats is the way you can demonstrate the benefits of your product or service. That’s something that ststic media like press advertising or posters cannot match.
Just like a great movie, people love stories. The narrative behind what you do and what you can do for them, is engaging. Once you have absorbed a viewer in your story, they will want to watch and see, ‘What happens next’.
Every good story, even a short video can create an emotional connection. Viewers may smile, laugh, think or ponder. But they become attached.
For a brand, emotional attachment is the holy grail.
People attach and identify with characters and stories surrounding brands. It’s little wonder that some of the most sucessful brand advertising has been built around appealing characters.
Brand stories are not static, they exist in that fourth dimension of time. So get your brand story on a timelime.
