Is there anything worse than dry, boring, or stale content being pushed out to social media channels?

Well…yeah of course there is, but it’s still cringy.


The key is: to blend video content and humour to spark engagement with your audience.

And no.

You don’t have to be a comedian to use humour.


What’s on Tap?


We’ll look at ways marketers can break the ice with their audience using engaging video content and humour.


What’s on the agenda?

A brief history of Vidyard


Vidyard started when most firms were still using video minimally, even on websites and in marketing initiatives. And there was no such thing as video and sales at the time.


And, of course, imagine a time when even video conferencing was unavailable. So video and business were still in their infancy.


Of course, YouTube including several consumer companies were already huge.

They believed that as video content became more accessible and less expensive to develop, more marketing teams in b2b businesses in the broader market would invest more in it.


And as the world has become increasingly reliant on online interactions, and they begin to wonder what, if anything, is going to give, video is the finest method to share stories and educate people.


When you can’t be there in person, it’s the finest method to interact with others.


Vidyard took the opportunity to build that up as a category to establish ourselves as thought leaders and product leaders in the world of video in business.


Getting the right tools. The simple, powerful, and free Vidyard Video and Screen Recorder.


Vidyard has an opportunity to build a product that lent itself well to that kind of experience with their Chrome extension and a desktop app. With a Vidyard Personal account, somebody can click the button, record or upload, but typically, they’re recording a video using their webcam or the screen share.

And then as soon as it’s recorded, it’s ready to be shared, either via link via email or, you know, posted somewhere as need be. And it’s something that they were able to create a really simple user experience around, that was also very approachable for a lot of different people.


For Vidyard, their freemium model is the biggest driver of our enterprise deals today


Why video is so much more engaging than text.


Video is truly transforming the way organizations and business professionals are sharing information in the new world of remote business.


Video is simply more efficient, more expressive, and therefore more effective than standard text
