Tagkast Launches First-to-Market Branded Video Technology
CHICAGO (PRWEB) June 24, 2015 -- Social event marketing platform Tagkast announced today the launch of its new branded video feature which will help brands enhance the user experience and boost organic shares on social media.
Like Tagkast’s branded photo sharing strategy, all branded video content will be consumer-generated, candid, created on site and integrated with Facebook. Tagkast’s videos will be short, looped and auto-played for a native feel as users scroll through their news feeds. Because engagement with Facebook videos is much higher than photos alone, Tagkast’s branded video offering will allow clients to increase consumer interaction with their content as well as brand exposure.
“Branded photos increase the ROI of event sponsorship ten-fold,” said Joe Matthews, co-founder and CEO of Tagkast. “We expect to see amplified results for branded videos. The medium’s highly engaging nature on social media makes it a perfect tool for event marketers and, therefore, a logical next step for us.”
The new branded video component will be incorporated into the Tagkast platform with access to sophisticated audience and digital engagement analytics. As with photos, event marketers can track the impact of each video shot, tagged and shared on social media.
Seventy percent of marketers are now incorporating branded video into their online marketing mix. Matthews thinks that event marketers should be given the same opportunity to engage event attendees through branded videos that encourage sharing and effectively track the ROI of an event.
“As we update our platform, we strive to create a seamless and effective experience for both our clients and event attendees,” said Matthews. “It’s imperative that new technologies are integrated seamlessly and allow for organic engagement. Consumers are used to seeing videos in their Facebook feed, so our video offering does just that.”
