Updated: Jun 30, 2021

As we all know a video is a very powerful tool in today’s digital world. But like any other tool, we need to understand the purpose, target audience, and call for action of Video, to be effective. For example, we can’t use a knife to hammer a nail in-wall or even use a hammer to cut vegetables, same as we can’t use trains to travel in the sea or a boat to travel in the air. Similarly, there are different types of videos like corporate videos, promotional videos, explainer videos, advertising videos, product videos, training videos etc. Each type includes its own advantage and used to cater to a unique segment of audiences. What needs to be communicated is a key question and if it’s not well defined at the very early stage then it can drastically make ROI fall down.
