Personalized video marketing is an innovative strategy that can be used to engage consumers. Empowered by the digital revolution, organizations can, for the first time, reliably reach their consumer base with personalized video advertisements—whether they are delivered via smartphone, PC, laptop, tablet, or video game console. But it is important to remember that not all personalized video content is created equal—if it were, every company on the globe would be implementing it. To get personalized video right, today’s businesses must follow three basic rules. The first is minimizing any breaks or inconsistencies in the consumer journey. The second and third, which will be covered in this blog post, are platform agnosticism and video runtime. The Advantages of Being Platform-Agnostic It is common knowledge that demographic factors like age and gender can have a profound impact on consumers’ behavior patterns.

Every year, thINK gets better. I wasn’t sure if it would be possible to top last year’s event, but countless attendees told me last Thursday and Friday that this was without a doubt the best thINK yet. I might be biased, but I have to say I agree! From the inspiring keynotes to the authentic connections forged over shared meals, there were some particularly valuable takeaways to be found at thINK 2018. Here are my personal highlights: Hands-On Learning at Deep-Dive Workshops This was the first year we offered workshops at thINK: hands-on sessions where attendees could roll up their sleeves and give new ideas a try in real time.

At the same time, it’s not expedient or efficient to have multiple workflow solutions for different equipment. It’s highly unlikely that you can eliminate or phase out anything that is still working; particularly if it represents a significant financial investment. Automated production doesn’t …
