Video & Media

124

In a world of fragmented content consumption and constant distraction, how do you not only grab your audience’s attention but also get them to care about your content? One way is to create an emotional connection by putting them in the driver’s seat of the experience. Giving your audience choice both attracts their attention and creates emotional investment, allowing the message you share to go deeper and actually change behavior.

Interactive video is a powerful tool in this shifting landscape. With it, you don’t have to choose between making an emotional connection or providing information: You can instead enjoy the benefits of both. In this session, you’ll find out how interactive video allows your content to speak to an individual instead of generically addressing a broad audience. You’ll also learn more about the rapid development tools available today that can help you easily make your own interactive videos. These tools automate many of the technical details of creating and deploying your content, allowing you more time to focus on making your content authentic, relatable, and engaging.

  • How interactive video helps get your audience to critical emotional mass
  • How to use interactive video and the “gratitude effect” to drive action and desired behaviors
