Yes, it can require an intense commitment in time and resources (you may need to find the right creative agencies to partner with if you don\u2019t have the in-house expertise, for example), but the rewards make the work well worth the effort.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it, most of us love watching videos online. Zenith forecasts that we\u2019ll be watching <\/span>100 minutes of video a day<\/span><\/a> by 2021. Video has the advantage of being both visually and audibly engaging, and the sort videos popular to post on social channels are even better because they take so little time to watch and are just so shareable.<\/span><\/p>\n Video can be some of the most inspirational, authentic and compelling content out there when the storytelling that powers it is on point. It makes it <\/span>easier<\/span><\/a> for people to consume your content as well.<\/span><\/p>\n Wholesome Culture<\/b>, which creates plant-based and cruelty-free products, uses Instagram to both sell and to support its brand values. It posts videos that get tens of thousands of views.<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B8uYJRNnV6a\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link<\/p>\n While its other visual content is also inspirational, uses emotional storytelling and is on-brand, the videos give people more to engage with and do a great job of highlighting what the brand stands for.<\/span><\/p>\n LEGO<\/b> uses YouTube to create short videos that use LEGO sets to tell stories that engage their fans. In one video, which has had more than 55 million views, LEGO partnered with Disney to make a <\/span>Moana mini-movie (and it really was mini, at just over two minutes long!).<\/span><\/p>\nVideo: time-consuming, but worth the investment<\/b><\/h3>\n
