People love stories of all kinds. While bookworms languidly depend on grammatical prose to titillate their senses, many prefer video storytelling for their ease and convenience. Whether B2B or B2C, video storytelling has always shown the power of visuals on sending clear signals regarding brand image and message to customers. Though infographics are known for their efficacy in sending brand message, there is nothing more moving and captivating than moving pictures complemented with emotions to assail one’s senses.
