Cashing in on the power of live video

An easy way to boost your engagement and sales. 

What sticks with you better, the information you absorbed from a blog post you read, or what you learned from the last video you watched? Even if you love reading, as many people do, the human brain tends to prefer moving images to static text. When you watch your favorite sporting event, you are viewing action and processing it visually. If you miss a big game and have to read about it later to find out what happened, there is just not the same excitement as there is when you view the action itself.

This is because, like the old saying goes, a picture is worth 1,000 words.

Actually, science has proven that a picture is roughly worth about 60,000 words. This is because your brain processes images about 60,000 times faster than it does text. Video is also processed virtually instantly, as opposed to text. Even if a video clip lasts just 1 second, your brain processes all that is going on immediately. This is not what happens when you read text, because your brain has to string together individual letters to make words, words to make sentences, sentences to make paragraphs, and so on.

As long as you are speaking the same language as another person, and you both understand the meaning of the words and phrases you are each using, you can have an enlightening and well-understood discourse.

This is not always the case.

In the situation of the words “brand” and “branding”, a lot of people seem to have very different ideas as to their meaning. Some equate branding with marketing, and while these two business tools are interconnected, they are not the same thing. Others believe that a brand is nothing more than a logo.

Logos can do a very good job delivering a brand message (or not), but in many cases, if someone was to look at a logo without knowing what the corresponding company was about, that logo would give them no knowledge as to what the company does or what it offers.
