An explainer video enables you to convey either a complex product / service or a powerful idea.

and with half a billion people now watching videos on social media every single day, very soon video traffic will represent 80% of all consumer online traffic.

An explainer video usually takes the form of a bite-sized piece of video content often around one to two minutes in length.  They come in many different forms including (but not limited to);

• Character explainers, as used by our client Henkel
• Graphics explainers
• Piece to camera explainers

You can create an explainer video for your whole business, product or service or for each part of your business as our client Olo has done.  One of their most recent explainer videos tells their intended audience - restaurant brands - how their ordering platform works and how it interfaces with the on-demand world.  

So what makes a really strong explainer video?

• Short in length: as we've mentioned above a good explainer video will run for between one to two minutes
• Clear call to action: when needed an explainer video should clearly state what the viewer should do after watching such as "book a demo", "get in touch" or "learn more"
• Focus on solving a problem: at the heart of every successful explainer video is a powerfully articulated, seemingly simple message.  One of the key skills we have at Venture is the ability to simplify; to cut through all the information and jargon and see exactly what needs to be communicated to your intended audience
• Match brand and audience: ensure your explainer video matches your brand style and tone as well as being a match to the viewer you're trying to reach
• High quality: explainer videos need to be high quality both in terms of production and quality of content in order to effectively communicate your brand, your product / service, your idea
