How Are Brands Reaching Out To Customers And Followers Using Video?
There are many lessons to be learned by watching what the big brands are doing with tools such as videos. Bernie asked Sara what she’s seeing as brands use video and she shared a wide variety of approaches.
- Marketers are using video to find the right people at the right time
- Entertainment production companies are using video to get more subscribers to their programs
- Publishers are working with video to create a stickier website experience and connect with their audience better
In these and many other use cases, Sara says the consistent theme is that these brands need a great way to connect with their audience. Video is their medium of choice because it’s the only content format that uses eyes and ears to make an emotional connection with people. This is why sales teams that leverage selling with video can humanize communication throughout the sales process. Listen to learn from these great examples!

Challenges To Building A Video-Based Connection With An Audience
Naturally, no brand or marketer can jump right into video creation and effective distribution. There is a very real learning curve and technological hurdle to overcome. But Sara points out that the tech challenges are less formidable as the tools now available are smarter and easier to use. That means there is more time to focus on telling great stories, which is what is at the heart of using video well. The real challenge is to stay focused on that objective.
In Sara’s mind, we are still in the early days of using video among corporate marketers. There is a lot that has been learned but much more that is still to be discovered about how to use the medium effectively. But it’s a medium brand marketers are starting to understand better. During this conversation, Sara highlights many of the approaches Brightcove customers are taking that are getting great results. To complement the evolving landscape of video tools, partnering with an expert like Vidico can streamline the video creation process, ensuring that the content not only resonates with your audience but also drives your marketing goals.
