Video is exploding on digital platforms & social media

WTM London 2015 Comments from Google UK Sales Director Dr. Bernd Fauser on video:

• Some of the top reasons people watch videos online are travel related – 27% to relax and escape, 45% to be entertained and inspired, 14% to pursue a hobby.

• Almost 50% of travellers use online video in some shape or form before deciding where to go on holiday.

• Attendees also heard how consumers are using video to make critical trip purchasing decisions – 65% when they are thinking about taking a trip, 67% when choosing a destination, 67% when looking for ideas for activities, 63% when deciding on accommodation and 26% when deciding which website to book on.

• Video plays a vital role for brands because most consumers are undecided about what companies to book with and find it hard to differentiate between them.

Creating and sharing digital video is easy……or so they say!

First you need to create a storyboard for your video, prepare a shot list and then get a film crew together.

Once you’ve filmed, you need to do some digital editing - which can be a bit more complicated than initially thought!

Once you’re finished editing, you then need to export your video in the correct formats to share across social media platforms.

There are loads of filming & editing apps available, but they don’t cover the full process.

All a bit too complicated????

What if there was a much easier way to create and share video, using only your smartphone?
