Eposode
Alex Lofts Feb 2016
The way we buy- and therefore sell- is changing. We’ve entered the age of the customer- a customer who is fully enabled, with all the information and multiple sources from which to buy, all at their fingertips.
Customers have more input into your brand than ever before thanks to the proliferation of User Generated Content.

Why we deliver the 4 componentsGoogle returns results with video more than any other medium.“Video is even more effective and important when we're trying to engage with the audience on a personal level. We're built to read faces. Pareidolia -- our psychological tendency to perceive a random stimulus as significant -- is what makes us see faces in tree trunks, the moon, and grilled cheese sandwiches.We like to see faces, we want to see faces, and we subconsciously look for them. There's a reason people want to "look someone in the eyes." Our brains are built to establish trust through face-to-face contact, hence we see the "talking head" as an integral component of many corporate presentations, politician's speeches, classroom lectures, product presentations, and even video ads.When someone tells you something, face-to-face, the message has a greater impact than if you read it. Through video, you can replicate that essential, nearly in-person human connection, with thousands of people at once. Video gives us the ability to communicate "face-to-face" on a bigger, asynchronous scale.”
