The first question to ask when doing a video marketing campaign is “What kind of video should I have?”
Explainer videos are a popular choice these days. They are used by companies worldwide on mediums such as Facebook, Google, YouTube, Instagram to promote their products. Explainer videos do a great job in explaining what the product or service is about within 2 minutes.
