Moving customers through appropriate media

However, it’s worth thinking about what you want to achieve, and which channel will give you the best results. You need more than moving pictures; you need to move your customers. Your choice of channel will influence which type of messages, images, and production you’re going to need. If you’re posting an update to Facebook about a new sales office, then nicely edited mobile phone footage may be more appropriate than a grand cinematic production. Whereas, if you’re announcing the launch of a new corporate brand, you might want something better than a looping gif on Twitter.

Planning a video doesn’t have to be difficult. The basics are the same as for any other marketing media: define your message and target audience, choose the best channels, match the media to the channel and audience, and then script it and produce it. Simple steps done well make magic happen.

The good news is that you don’t have to be the magician. In today’s market, as more and more people are watching online video, the cost of producing videos is coming down, and there are more tools and options available. With the right partner, you can make the most of your budget and get a professional and effective finished product that meets your audience’s expectations.
