Why does video work so well?
The reason video ads work so well is that they blend in seamlessly with the other videos. It sometimes takes viewers a few seconds to realise they’re watching an ad. There’s no better way to reach your audience than this subtle approach to showing ad content through a realistic story.
Consumers crave videos, which is why this format works so well for reach and engagement. This helps build trust between you and the consumer. So, not only can you reach a large number of people, but conversion becomes easier.
