Why video?
Everywhere we look demand for video content is growing exponentially. Therefore making promotional films about your business is now the most effective way to show the world what you do.
Take the following three examples:

“In April of 2015, it was unveiled that over 4 billion videos were being played back each day on the Facebook platform alone. By September, this number had doubled to a staggering 8 billion video views per day.
A brief analysis shows that from 2014 to 2019 there will be an increase in video streaming of 363% on computers and a gigantic 1,317% increase on mobile.

"Globally, IP video traffic will be 82 percent of all consumer Internet traffic by 2020, up from 69 percent in 2017."
This trend is set to continue to rocket with 5G networks just around the corner, so it’s vital to ensure your business is not left behind.
Why are promotional films so important for businesses?
They promote brand recall: the highly visual and auditory nature of video content means it’s easier for many users to remember than text-based content. 80% of customers remember a video they’ve watched in the last month.
They boost your site’s SEO (Search Engine Optimisation): 65% of business decision makers visit a vendor’s website after viewing a branded video and an additional 39% of those go on to contact a vendor after viewing the video. By adding video content to your website you’ll improve your company’s SEO value and increase your click-through rates across the board.
Video content peforms superbly on all modern devices: from computers to mobile phones - it’s user friendly and consumer focused, plus with 5G about to hit the markets, buffering will very soon be a thing of the past!
They strengthen your brand message: through simple features like design and branding, to more advanced features like voice overs and content, video marketing strengthens your brand identity and drives your company persona home.
Video content wants to go viral: Video content is currently shared 1,200% more than both links and text combined. Also, 60% of viewers will engage in a video post before a text post. (Source - Forbes February 2017.)
