Use these channels to become a trusted source of information by positioning your brand as a solution to prospects’ problems. You already know that a Marketing Hero safeguards the people’s interests. KEY AWARENESS METRICS 1. Number of shares, likes, and retweets of videos on social channels 2. Percent increase in website visits and referral sources 3. Average number of unique visitors to the homepage 4. Difference in number of blog visits and inbound links 5. Number of video views on the homepage, or wherever awareness videos play on your site WHY VIDEO WORKS IN THE AWARENESS STAGE Why, hello! Video is effective in an awareness campaign because it is attention-getting and easily shareable. Social media networks and content management systems have redesigned workflows to make it easier to share video and push it to the forefront of digital consumption. Video is more memorable than other content mediums. In fact, audiences retain over 50% more information through the use of both verbal and visual cues.1 Memorable videos can work in tandem with customer advocacy word-ofmouth, as viewers recommend or suggest your products and services. Consider shorter, high-quality videos like brand promotions, infographics, expert interviews, leadership presentations, and short-form content like teasers on social media sites.
