It’s no surprise that many organizations are turning to videos to connect to consumers. Insivia, an Ohio-based marketing agency, reports that viewers retain 95 percent of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to 10 percent recall when reading it in text.

According to a 2014 survey, 40 percent of consumers said they would rather watch a brand video than read the same information. Even a brief interaction with a video can trigger this response, making a significant impact. In healthcare, the opportunities to present compelling real-life stories filled with emotion and innovation are boundless.
