Today, video marketing is a booming communication channel, with companies creating all kinds of content for their customers and prospects.

While the best quality video still requires higher-end equipment, it is now possible for virtually anyone to record comparatively good quality video on the smartphone in their pockets. This has given marketers the ability to get very creative with video content, without a significant financial investment. It's a far cry from the days where only bigger brands might be able to afford to shoot and leverage TV with commercials.

Video is also incredibly versatile when it comes to developing creative content. In 2020, with social distancing and work-from-home becoming the norm, video can provide a way to deliver more personal messages, while face-to-face interactions are limited. Whether that is recording videos of your company's team members in their home offices or leveraging user-generated content around product reviews, video can help bridge the gap and make a more personal connection with your audience.
