Not sure what should be on your priority list for your business in 2015? Here are a few trends I think will be useful for your business, and for when preparing your next corporate video brief.

Brands are humanizing

More and more businesses are responding to what customers want - a personal, caring, and relatable experience. With so many new methods of engaging with customers such as corporate video production and social media marketing, it is now easier than ever before for businesses to build relationships with customers. By using this to their advantage, many businesses have helped increase sales by inspiring more confidence in their customer base. Branding has evolved beyond informing your target audience; it is now much more about engagement and inspiring.

The future is video

Video has been a big thing in the consumer world for some time now, however, many businesses simply are not aware of the huge value for money which video marketing provides. With Cisco reporting a 54% increase in corporate video usage in 2014 from 2013, 2015 is set to increase by 56% further still from 2014. Websites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter now make it easier than ever to reach a huge audience in seconds at very little cost. This endless flexibility and power which corporate video provides is just one of the many reasons your business simply can't afford to miss out. If you haven't considered a video for your business before, then now is the time to start researching!

Mobile friendly websites
