The Shift to Infographic Videos Amid These Uncertain Times

Right now, companies are scrambling to implement creative ideas not only to stay productive but also to keep the marketing and sales efforts going. In a remote world, bound by ‘social distancing’ and ‘stay at home’ protocols, infographic videos are a great opportunity to tell your brand story and get the attention it deserves.

During this unprecedented time, when shoots are not happening, businesses need to take a remote approach – to showcase how they added value to their client’s business or to make people aware about their new technology or product and how it is relevant to their industry.

Power of Infographic Video

As the Chinese proverb goes, “I hear and I forget; I see, and I remember”, our brains are wired to process visuals faster than text. In fact, 90% of the information processed by the brain is visual, and over 95% of B2B buyers prefer shorter and highly visual content.

According to Weiss-McGrath Report, information delivered using audio-visual means is retained for longer – our brain is designed to absorb the video format – the combination of visuals, movements and audio very quickly.

According to Cisco, by the year 2022, videos will make more than 82% of internet consumer traffic. Combined with over 1200% more shares a social video generates than a text post, infographic videos are critical for companies to capture prospects’ attention online and give them another outlet to find you.
