Today, a lot of people prefer watching videos (video tutorials, ads, movies, etc.) to reading articles. I do that too. In the last 8-10 years, the digital landscape has changed and you all can agree that the percentage of people who have access to a smartphone is on the rampage.
And with the change, people surfing the web from desktop and laptops is much easier with the help of a smartphone.
What more, digital technology is cost-effective and easy to access than it’s ever been before. This doesn’t affect how, when and where people can relate with content.
With this, the perspective of content marketing has changed. Of which content only succeeds if its messages are well received and they solve the problems people want solved.
Content, they say, is king, and when it comes to marketing, you need to stay ahead of the latest trends, set yourself or brand apart from the competition and to potential customers and this is where storytelling comes in.
As technology evolves, so does content and the way they are consumed.
Luckily, it is easy to keep up with the changing perspective when you invest in leading-edge forms of content, like video marketing.
Today, Video marketing is one of the leading forms of content marketing that provide value, flexibility, and needs of customers.
