Digital video strategy, why is it necessary?
FUTURE: "Digital Video is everything that's not television." - Jim Hedleston, President, MACVIDEO
PRESENT: "People process digital video images 400X faster than text." - Yusuf Mehdi, Chief Advertising Officer, Microsoft
PAST: "If your advertising goes unnoticed, everything else is academic." - Bill Bernbach
Video strategy makes sense now.
eMarketer predicts it, Stanford University studied it & HULU proves it.
It's about transforming our client's ability to use digital video, so that your programs strategically capitalize on video's inherent superiority, with the metrics and delivery systems of the internet:
1. Digital technology and broadband has increased the average consumer's expectations of the internet overall;
2. We live in a TV-influenced culture that no longer relies on TV. Digital video now plays that role.
3. Video can be produced faster and delivered more cost-efficiently than any other digital ad platform available

VISION: In less than 10 years, 90% of all content will be video-based. Does that mean that people will no longer read? No. Though it does mean that those companies that give people the choice between reading versus watching will fare better than those companies which don't.
NIMBLE: We have significant experience producing any kind of video for long term branding & acquisition solutions as well as for immediate unanticipated consumer/market mood swings, within a few days if not a few hours.
