Nobody can ignore the trend for video content – and it is definitely not being ignored by any major national, regional and international newspaper website, who all have dedicated online ‘Video News’ sections.

The online world is an ever changing environment. According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update (2016), online video content will account for 72% of all global mobile Internet traffic by 2019. Cisco’s report also forecasts that video content will be driving 68% of all MENA regional mobile traffic.

  • All Social media now routinely includes video content
  • Bloggers love to carry video content
  • Video news releases enable you to access broadcast media

In terms of making a less than 60-second impact with your press release, video can achieve this for you and get your message across in a fast and dynamic way. Here are the facts:

  • Multimedia press releases increase consumer engagement by an average of 7-10 minutes longer than traditional text-only releases
  • Studies show that people have better recall of video and images than of words
  • Video encourages an emotional engagement in a way that text-only press releases may not
  • Videos have a longer viewing lifetime than text-only press releases
