A ‘nice’ option, or a necessity?
Video content combines audio and visual senses. As humans, we find videos more engaging, memorable, and more popular than any other type of content out there. The sheer volume of video content online is growing rapidly, so it’s more important than ever that you keep up with emerging trends.
VI on set in Milton Keynes… 
and this week in Northampton
One of our local client’s recently recognised the need for fresh and engaging content and commissioned VI to produce video content at their conference event.
This busy event was a great opportunity to source client testimonials, interviews with industry professionals as well as providing some supporting photography. The footage will be incorporated into their on-going marketing strategy and used as promotional or informative material.

A ‘giant’ task in more ways than one…
This month we have also completed a video shoot for a National Distribution Centre in Northampton, who process and transport medicines and medical equipment across the UK and Europe.
The UK Warehouse Manager recognised the need to improve their staff training material and therefore commissioned VI to produce a new branded video to be used in their new-starter ‘welcome’ / training days.
VI spent the day on-site shooting the entire NDC process from receipt of goods, through to transportation. Although we have worked in similar locations during our time, the vast expanse of this particular warehouse provided a new challenge, even for us!

Best Practices
Videos under two minutes long usually get the most engagement, so it’s important to decide on the key content to include when producing a brand video.
Nearly 50% of internet users look for videos related to a product or service before visiting a store. (Hubspot)
Most users are more than happy to be marketed to using video. However, many marketers don’t feel they have the time, in-house ability, or budget to create the multimedia content that their audience craves.
