    Why brands and creators are investing more time and energy in video content
    There are four main reasons why brands and creators are investing more in video content: increased engagement, wider audience reach, better storytelling, and authenticity. Ultimately, video builds trust with audiences more effectively than traditional text-based marketing.

    The accessibility and authenticity of video content today
    Video content has become more accessible and easier to produce, even for those without high-end equipment. Creators can produce multiple videos at no cost, and the authenticity that comes with lower production value can actually enhance the impact of the content.

    Maximizing success with video content
    Video has a faster turnaround than TV ads, enabling rapid iteration and A/B testing without knowing platform algorithms. Aspire offers best practices to enable customers to achieve success faster than investing in traditional media.

    Measuring the success of influencer marketing campaigns
    Many companies have limited their influencer marketing campaigns to focus solely on top-of-funnel metrics such as awareness and impressions. However, Aspire recently launched a new impact dashboard to help customers to consider the full funnel.
