Have A Yearning For Multi-Angled Videos? The Wait Is Over

Social media marketing is going to get a new avatar. This is so because there is going to be the birth of multi-angled videos.

Yes! You Will Be Able To Upload Videos with Multi-Angled Views:

YouTube has announced a novel feature this Wednesday. The feature is such that it allows users to upload videos with multiple camera angles. Viewers will then be able to toggle camera angles and that too on the fly. This all will happen while you watch the video!

What’s so special about this new feature?

It means that you will be now able to watch things differently. If you want to have a practical experience then watch the above video and you’ll know. In the video you’ll see a performance by Madilyn Bailey-the Titanium girl. What’s new in the video? Other than scintillating performance by Bailey, you’ll be able to view the video from 4 different angles!

Hence, it will make Social Media Marketing for companies more alluring. This mechanism when made public definitely has the potential to generate more views and therefore enhance the outcome of your social media strategies.

The wait is still on…for the rest:

For the rest we mean those living outside U.S for now. It’s because, this facility is currently available to only the desktop users in U.S.

Also currently, it is only Madilyn Bailey, the Titanium girl who currently uses the feature. She is an indie artist selected by YouTube for a test run.

However, Bailey is a polar singer having around 2 million YouTube subscribers. Her most popular videos include Titanium, which received close to 50 million views!

Conclusion:
This feature when made public will definitely give birth to a new way to connect to your target audience. It will change the way social media marketing is done. It will enable people, companies, brands and artists to connect with their target customers and fans as much as possible. And the experience, let alone, will be incredible!

Advantages of Mobile Advertising

Mobile was once an afterthought in the advertising world — but today, brands are perking up and paying attention, as mobile is growing faster than all other digital advertising formats in the US. With new smartphone releases, most clients are developing a mobile strategy. And while advertisers agree the platform has a ways to go before they can develop a viable advertising strategy, more and more marketers want in on the mobile game.

The dilemma is that traditional methods of advertising often don't translate well on mobile — and there's far less screen space on mobile than desktop. It's clear that brands and advertisers will need to get creative in order to develop successful mobile strategies.

But BI Intelligence expects that this gap will narrow substantially, as enthusiasm grows for mobile-optimized ad formats (such as interactive rich media and native ads), as targeting improves, and more and more advertisers learn how to effectively use the platform.

In-app mobile ads perform much better than mobile web ads, and ad spend will likely follow performance and usage. In-app click-through rates averaged 0.56% globally compared to 0.23% for mobile web ads during the first half of the year, according to Medialets.

Ads on apps get much higher click-throughs than ads on the mobile Web: 0.58% on apps vs. only 0.23% on the mobile Web.

It’s worth noting that travel and entertainment ads do especially well, getting about a 60% higher click-through rate than ads for retail, automotive, and other categories. That’s probably no surprise, given that people are using smartphones on the go.
