“Perfect Is The Enemy Of Good”
The automation and scale of marketing and sales technologies have devalued the human touch of face to face interaction. Today’s biggest brands are gaining traction by being real and authentic while making a personal connection with a customer through the use of video.
By now most of us have heard the stat that it’s predicted that by 2021, video traffic will account for 82% of all internet traffic, leaving most companies scrambling to get on board with a video strategy. In the push to adopt a video presence, forward-thinking organizations are discovering that incorporating video in their marketing strategy and sales cadence is far more accessible than ever.

While hiring a video producer can get the ball rolling it’s the adaptation of video across departments and its use among current staffers that grow a video strategy to scale. In the sales world, automation tactics are failing to produce and video helps to cuts through the noise to not only stand out to prospective customers but to also build a personal connection on a foundation of trust.
Adopting A Video First Approach
Adopting a strategy that can easily prove ROI is key during the early stages of the implementation of any video strategy. While there’s still a place for more professional and highly produced video assets, it’s probably not the most efficient and cost-effective way to begin your journey into the exciting world of video for business. Taking a video first approach to content creation allows a company to maximize their efforts and produce several pieces of content around a single video.
