5 Content Marketing Concepts for Effective Videos
One of the best ways to do Content Marketing is, certainly, that of producing videos with the aim of arousing emotions. These, often, are transmitted through images, sounds, colors, etc. The goal is to immerse the viewer in a story to make him the protagonist. In fact, involving a customer or potential customer in the history of your brand can make the difference.
In general, when we talk about Content Marketing this is defined as "a marketing technique aimed at creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire and engage a clear and defined target audience - with the aim of guiding customers towards a profitable stock” as reported by the Content Marketing Institute.
Therefore, sharing the values, history, mission of a company or a brand in an exciting way leads to generating more Engagement. In fact, good content brings with it a loyal and attentive Customer Base, which in turn means organic traffic, greater possibilities for collecting first-party data and almost infinite opportunities for retailers to perfect sales strategies.

Five key tips for an effective Video Content Marketing campaign

The images and content must be appealing, useful and interesting and personalization can be an additional help. So, keywords are: short, impactful and simple. 120 seconds is the ideal measurement of the length of a video aimed at Content Marketing;
- Look for interaction with the user: if telling a story works, make your users part of it too. When people feel part of a story or can imagine themselves in it, they will definitely be more involved. So, put the user at the center of your content. As? By working on an accurate keyword research, i.e. what the user is looking for when using search engines;

We demonstrate that at the center of the digital strategy there is not an anonymous and casual user, but there is a person.
