1. Video is the #1 way consumers discovered a brand they later purchased from

Video often means that viewers can see your product or service in action, preemptively answering questions they might have had and demonstrating real-life applications. This is great for driving purchases. In fact, 84% of people have been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a brand’s video.

2. 43% increase in demand for Edit-Only Service since the pandemic

In the last 3 years, we have completed over 2,400 edit projects to produce more than 4,800 videos. In particular, we have seen a great increase of edit-only services by 43% from 2019 to 2020.

Video production has been restricted either completely or partially across different regions. As a result, some brands have chosen to create videos by relying on content such as archival footage, Zoom interviews, and motion graphics. Therefore, if video production is restricted in your city, you may consider making use of your existing video content or virtually recorded content to deliver your brand message.

It’s no secret that the whole events industry has adopted virtual events. The exhibitions/trade shows segment captured the largest market share and is expected to maintain its dominance. This is due to the increasing need for brands to showcase their products and services. Both the conferences and digital summits segments captured a substantial share in the market. They are anticipated to grow significantly owing to the various advantages offered by virtual platforms, such as instant scalability and control, easy data collection and measuring of results, global reach, and reduced costs.
