8 Tips to Make The Most of Video on Mobile

As newspaper penetration falls... the culture itself moves from textual to visual literacy.

It’s no surprise that advances in technology have eliminated (nearly) all barriers and allowed, practically anyone, to capture, store, edit and transmit video clips from multiple devices to each and everyone.

The combination of lowered production costs with the rise and availability of multiple platforms and channels, makes it clear that video is ripe with possibilities.

These days getting noticed is difficult amongst all the highly competitive marketing campaigns and first impressions are critical for success. 

A brief summary from a presentation viewed last week by John Speers, DDI:
There is simply no better way to improve your communication or content than to embrace the power of the visual. The brain deciphers images simultaneously, while language is decoded in a linear, sequential manner. Content must be highly visual based, quality visuals that are borne out of strategic integrity, executed brilliantly and imbued with the brand’s values. 
The same presentation references some supporting numbers from WARC, 2013:
  • Marketers using video in email campaigns generate 40% higher revenue, 55% higher click throughs, 44% greater time engaged and a 41% increase in forwarding.
  • 25% of global internet traffic by 2014 will be mobile.
  • “Rich media is the key to engaging, immersive brand experiences with significantly more positive opinion to interactive ads, permitting a deeper brand-to- consumer conversation, which leads to a longer dwell time, 31% more.” (InMobi).
All the stats floating around the internet about video are on graphs that point north, particularly combined with the penetration of mobile.
