Because of its ability to convey messages so straightforwardly, it’s no wonder businesses are more readily using video as part of their content strategies. But, simply producing and launching a video isn’t enough to engage and convert members of your audience. In this article, we’ll teach you a thing or two about creating impactful engaging video content.
Have a purpose
One of the great things about video is that it can easily cater to a variety of purposes. So, whether your business requires instructional material to train staff, or you need content to showcase at a conference, you can create video that suits your needs. All you need to do is establish the purpose of your video before creating it. That way, you’ll avoid having unclear, muddled messages.
Know your audience
You would never market your product or service without first knowing your target market in detail. That’s why establishing your audience is so vital during the process of planning your corporate video. This allows you to better form and deliver key messages, as well as understand the pain points, questions and concerns of your customers so you can address them in your content. That way, you’re providing relevant information to your viewers and also providing value, which brings us to our next point.
Provide value
What’s the point of rolling out a suite of videos if your audience won’t find them useful? Provide value by addressing the right questions and concerns of your customers, and think about what type of video will best suit your audience. Do they require an instructional video about how to use a product? Or perhaps some testimonials would help to instil a sense of trust.
Example:
Family Life – Caring Communities initiative

Make it short and simple
It’s estimated that after about 90 seconds, viewers start to lose interest in the video they’re watching. That’s a window of only one and a half minutes to make an impact or get your message across. To make your video concise, make sure that you’re planning it properly. Create a storyboard and a timeline and marry these up with a script. This will give you the best chance at creating a video that is neither too crammed, nor lacking in information.
