Why your Business should Socialise with Video Marketing

“Wikipedia defines “socialisation” as the primary means that human beings acquire the skills necessary to perform as a functioning member of their society, and is the most influential learning process one can experience. I think “socialise” works as an action verb for how people use technology, tools, customs, values, roles and language of social media – not just for ROI, but also to build and improve on our own business culture. I’ve found video to be the ideal medium for socialising in business as well as personal life, and I’m looking forward to demonstrating real examples of that in action in my session titled, “Social Video Marketing: What Every Business Should Know (and Do).”

“People are using the Internet in a different way now. With broadband penetration becoming ubiquitous and more and more sites having this easy capability, people are expecting video to be there.”
