The advantages of video as a means of communication
Video is a medium offering a wide range of advantages in terms of communication and Internet user engagement:
- Development of your storytelling thanks to a message built from coherent and attractive information, broadcast by video in particular. It contributes towards developing a closer relationship with your target. This offers you increased credibility and fosters faster user trust.
- Low production costs, for creating a video with a smartphone or a camera has become an increasingly simple task. Certain companies can even play on the authentic slant in order to promote increased audience engagement and to come closer to their users.
- Varied contents: YouTube can be used to transmit a great quantity of different information. Whether in the form of a tutorial, a new product launch or even an internal communication plan, there are as many ways of presenting your content as there are opportunities to satisfy your customers’ needs.

Indeed, thanks to YouTube video, you receive feedback from the signals you send out in the form of comments, shares and viewing time. These responses all represent data that you can interpret in order to adapt your strategy and to amplify its impact.
