The Popularity of Social Media Videos
In a survey done with 3000 social media consumers, branded video content was the most memorable to them in comparison to photo or written content. In the same survey, 54% of respondents expressed they wish to see video content from a brand or business they support.
From a separate survey, platforms like Facebook and Instagram saw an increase of 40% in usage amongst people aged 18 to 34.
Social media videos also perform better with algorithms, as they capture viewer’s attention longer. When viewers interact with videos for a longer amount of time, these videos have a higher chance of being recommended.
Hence, it means that videos have a longer shelf-life as well. They can stay relevant even months after being published.
Let us look at how corporate companies are taking this opportunity to boost their relevance through social media videos.
