Creating Engaging Narratives for Different Videos

January 17, 2024
Let's explore how crafting engaging narratives differs for consumers, businesses, and employees. 


Consumers


Consumers are bombarded with video content. To stand out, create a narrative that resonates. Here’s some ways you can do this: 



  • Story Arcs: Craft a compelling story arc to keep people invested from start to finish. Strong narrative structures in videos can help maintain viewer interest.


  • Personalisation: Tailoring content to the individual preferences of consumers enhances engagement, it snaps them out of just scanning their feed if they recognise that the video is relevant for them.


Businesses


For businesses, video content is a powerful way to showcase your values and expertise, as well as building trust with your potential clients:



  • Expert Testimonials: Incorporate expert testimonials or endorsements to enhance your credibility. Studies show that consumers trust recommendations from experts more than any other form of advertising.


  • Educational Content: Use an explanatory style narrative to educate your audience and  position your brand with authority, fostering trust and loyalty.

Employees


Internally, videos play a really crucial role in sharing information, fostering company culture, and ensuring effective communication within organisations:


  • Internal Communication
    Videos are great to boost internal communication across the board, share business updates, celebrate success and generally make the whole team feel
    connected


  • Training and Development
    Visual information is processed 60,000 times faster than text, making video an efficient training medium for employee training. 


  • Employee Testimonials
    Featuring employees in your videos sharing their experiences fosters a sense of community and inclusivity. Increase your employee engagement, and in turn boost company growth.


Creating really engaging narratives for different types of videos comes down to understanding the purpose, needs and expectations of your audience. So tailor your video content correctly and maximise its impact!
