Find a company that is passionate about what they do (we are). Video has become an integral part of marketing and communications platforms as companies recognize that video has influence and impact that text and images alone can’t deliver. In marketing, video builds brand awareness, generates audience engagement, creates the “know, like, and trust factor,” and converts prospects to loyal clients. Studies have shown the difference that video can make in sales and marketing results: • Prospects are 72% likelier to buy your products and services when video is used. – Wharton School of Business • Video decreases the time it takes a viewer to reach a buying decision by 70%. – Wharton School of Business • 59% of senior executives surveyed would rather watch a video than read text. – Forbes Insight • Videos are 53 times more likely than text to get a first page Google ranking. – Forrester • Of the 80% of viewers who have watched a video online, 52% have taken some sort of action. – Wharton School of Business • Video used in email blasts increases click-through rates by over 96%. – Implix • 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual, and visuals are processed 60,000 times faster in the brain than text. – 3M Corporation, Zabisco
