Benefits of video content in B2B marketing 

Incorporating video into B2B marketing campaigns offers numerous benefits. It significantly boosts brand awareness, improves lead generation, enhances online engagement, and increases retention and credibility. And most importantly, video content leads to higher conversion rates, making it a powerful tool for driving business growth. 

Data from LinkedIn shows that video receives five times more engagement than written posts. Similarly, video ads hold users' attention nearly three times longer than other types of ads. Audiences are also twenty times more likely to share video content on LinkedIn compared to other content types. 

If you’re looking to enhance your internal communications with video, consider these four top tips to maximise its potential: 

• Short form video is preferred: Keep videos around a minute to ensure they are watched and shared. 
• Experiment with different video types: Try different video styles, like animations or executive talks, to see what works best. 
• Use video to extend the reach of your content: Repurpose existing content into short videos to enhance its impact. 
• Make sure your video looks Pro: Ensure videos are professionally made to align with your brand and meet objectives.
