Instant Engagement

Video banners instantly allow the viewer see your business and begin to tell your story. Whether it's showcasing your team in action, highlighting your locations or showing off the products. The video banner can telegraph your brand more effectively than static images or text on the site. Once the viewer is engaged they are more likely to further explore your website and see what other content you have to offer.

Elevated branding

A professionally crafted video banner can set you apart from competitors by presenting your company as a modern and customer focused business. It's an effective way to position your brand as a leader in your industry. In a competitive industry this can sometimes give you that extra edge and set you apart from your competitors in the space.

Leave words and pictures behind…for now

Video is perfect way to craft a compelling and memorable impression highlighting your values, expertise and vision without your visitors having to read paragraphs of text on your website. Telling your story with video will then entice the viewers to dig deeper into your business.

Make your content work harder

Don't think that the video you create for a series of website banners are just for that purpose only. The content can be used on other channels and as part of a wider content strategy. Your marketing activity can benefit from social media posts and corporate video to help your brand stay front and centre at all times. Brand consistency is very important so having the same content on all your channels gives that important sense of professionalism.
