At Tower View Media, we’ve seen firsthand how the landscape of digital marketing shifts year to year — but one thing stays constant: the power of video. From short-form social clips to long-form explainers, professionally produced video remains unmatched in its ability to engage, inform, and convert.
As we look ahead in 2025, businesses of every size are investing in video — and for good reason. Here’s why you should too.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Video = ROI
It’s no secret that video content continues to outperform other media formats when it comes to ROI. According to a 2023 Wyzowl survey, 91% of marketers say video helps increase traffic, and 87% report that it gives them a good return on investment. That’s not just a trend — it’s a proven strategy.
At Tower View Media, we’ve worked with clients like Oxford University Press and MyMaths to create engaging pre-event content that doesn’t just capture attention — it drives visitors to their trade show booths, website pages, and learning platforms.
Attention Spans Are Shrinking — So Keep It Short
Platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels continue to dominate, especially with Gen Z and younger millennials. DemandSage reports that TikTok has over 1.5 billion monthly active users in 2024, and short-form content consistently delivers the highest engagement rates.
Short-form doesn’t mean short on quality. In our recent campaign with Ants HQ, we crafted a suite of snappy, engaging videos — including quirky ASMR-inspired reels — to showcase their eco-friendly packaging and educational product line. The result? A boost in reach, interaction, and brand affinity across their digital channels.
Shoppable and Interactive Video Is Changing the Game
Gone are the days when video was just for watching. Now, it's about acting. Shoppable videos — like Sephora’s interactive campaigns — allow viewers to engage and purchase directly from the screen. It’s seamless, intuitive, and incredibly effective.
For small and medium businesses looking to boost eCommerce conversions, interactive video represents a major opportunity. Our team can help craft these experiences so your products don’t just get seen — they get bought.
Authenticity and Transparency Matter More Than Ever
Audiences today crave connection. They want to know the people and purpose behind the brands they support. That’s why authenticity isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a strategic advantage.
Video gives you the opportunity to pull back the curtain and show the real humans behind your product or service. Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes look at your team, a founder story, or day-in-the-life content, this kind of transparency builds trust and loyalty.
Immersive Experiences = Memorable Impact
Video doesn’t have to live in a square frame. From 360° footage to AR overlays, immersive formats are gaining ground in marketing. Whether you're showcasing a location, service, or story, our team at Tower View Media can help you craft immersive content that lingers in your audience’s mind long after the screen goes dark.
Accessibility = Inclusivity (and Better SEO)
Don’t forget the basics: captions, alt text, transcripts. Not only do they make your videos more inclusive, they boost your SEO, too. Tools like Rev can help, but we also offer captioning and accessibility consulting as part of our video packages — because great content should be seen, heard, and understood by everyone.
