Dana Fugate, Director of Content at Brightcove, joins the Content Pros Podcast to discuss how video content marketing is transforming the customer experience, from conversion to retention.

On the surface, video content production appears to be a whole new medium that requires training, equipment, and an eye for visual art. Some would even call it a specialty field of marketing unto itself.
Dana disagrees with this impression and knows how to incorporate video into a marketing plan so that it’s approachable, impactful, and (most importantly) effortless for everybody involved.
Video has a way of connecting with consumers that text on its own cannot accomplish. This, combined with the rise in mobile video consumption, means that smartly applying video on your site can help you connect on a deeper level with your buyer no matter where they are.
Through thoughtful prep and an awareness of the customer’s journey, Dana has helped some of her clients to double their conversions and achieve 70% retainment by properly utilizing video content throughout the sales funnel.

In This Episode

  • How well placed video content leads to a better connection with buyers
  • Why utilizing video doesn’t mean investing in expensive equipment or training
  • How video can lead customers all the way through the funnel, from conversion to retention
  • Why a smart marketing plan means incorporating video content on your homepage
  • How integrating your platform with marketing automation and CRM leads to a deep understanding of your customers through video metrics
