Animated Videos are a valuable option when it comes to content marketing.
Content marketing is a vital tool in helping businesses achieve their digital marketing goals in the modern marketplace—from providing accurate information about a business to product marketing and creating values to helping build trust between a company and its target audience online.
Although there are different types of content used for marketing a business (blog posts, infographics, charts, pictures and videos), many businesses rely heavily on driving online traffic through traditional blog content. Despite the fact that well written content offers wonderful benefits, it does present a couple of challenges for the overall user experience (UX).
For one, looking at huge blocks of text (like this) can be overwhelming for many people. No matter how helpful or well-written a blog post is, some people simply cannot get over the idea of poring over huge chunks of text.
There are some types of information that are best relayed visually. Again, even if a blog post is well-written, it can pale in comparison to more visual platforms.
Why, then, do so many companies still rely on blog posts as a main form of content marketing?
We are seeing more marketers adding video content in 2015. In fact, when marketers were surveyed, according to Barb Mosher Zinck, the Contributing News Editor at InsideCXM, video marketing showed an increase in popularity year over year. She recently wrote about how a massive 81% of businesses use video on their brand website while only 22% cite video marketing inside the website a strategy. So how do we include Animated Video into the mix of effective content strategy in 2016?
In the past, the lack of enthusiasm for video blogging (Vlog) can be attributed to slow Internet speeds which made watching online videos in-general frustrating. On the other hand, some companies do not use this effective platform because they don’t have someone in the organization to represent the brand visually or they cannot afford to hire a reputable animated video company to produce quality, yet affordable videos for their brand. It’s usually a combination of lack of resources financially and personnel wise.
Gisteo gets all of these challenges.
