Viewstream Elevates the MOA Genre Posted by John Assalian on October 26, 2023 MOA, or Mode of Action, videos are typically straightforward, seeking to explain how a drug or medical device interacts within the human body. Viewstream is taking things a step further. Viewstream has elevated the MOA video genre with our latest video for Elixir Medical Corporation’s DynamX Coronary Bioadaptor. The DynamX Coronary Bioadaptor is a landmark product for Elixir, restoring blood flow to blocked blood vessels. We showcased the DynamX Coronary Bioadaptor in striking 3D animation to expose the world to Elixir’s true feat in modern medicine. We combined the wonders of the natural world with the marvels of modern medicine, connecting beautiful brand creative to the clinical benefits of Elixir’s bioadaptor. We featured natural and abstract imagery with technical explanations of the DynamX Bioadaptor features as part of a holistic brand upgrade and series of microsites. Inspired by the cover art from esteemed science journals like Nature Medicine, Viewstream blended Elixir’s brand, newly created by Viewstream, with breathtaking sights of the natural world that transform from riverbeds to blood vessels. By connecting the shared geography of Earth’s waterways and the human vascular system, Viewstream fully immerses viewers in the video creative. Viewstream created scientifically accurate visuals of human anatomy combined with detailed MOA animation for a realistic portrayal of the DynamX Bioadaptor in action – all while providing cinematic audio and an engaging voiceover to elevate the audience experience further. Creative Director Joel Yabrudy approached the project from a new angle. “Like other medical animation videos we’ve created, we had to decide where and how to take creative freedom. No technology allows us to visualize the human body in a detailed, cinematic manner, so we have to make it up and do so in the most medically accurate way possible.” Viewstream serves a wide variety of partners, but when it comes to pharmaceutical and healthcare brands, we take a complete history to successfully communicate medical products and services with appealing and easy-to-understand visuals that are built to engage and inform your audience.

Unleashing the Power of B2B Video Marketing Posted by John Assalian on August 23, 2023 In the realm of modern marketing, where attention spans are fleeting and competition is fierce, B2B video marketing emerges as the herald of engagement, a potent tool that captivates, educates, and influences. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the dynamic world of B2B video marketing, why it’s a game-changer, and the strategies that can elevate your brand’s presence in the digital age. What Is B2B Video Marketing and Why Is It Valuable? B2B video marketing is the strategic creation of videos that target and engage audiences, with the goal of generating leads and promoting B2B businesses. According to Contentsquare’s Digital Experience Benchmark report, the average time on a page across all industries is 54 seconds. However, this figure shouldn’t be treated as a universal standard. It’s contextual and varies based on factors like industry and webpage type. In this context, B2B stands out with the highest average time spent on a page: 1.37 minutes. This data highlights the importance of using industry-specific benchmarks for average time on a page. So why is B2B video marketing worth every penny in today’s landscape? Simply put, it’s a phenomenon that defies the conventional and captivates the contemporary consumer. Here’s why: Engagement Amplified: Our brains process visual information faster than text, making videos a captivating choice. Video content seamlessly combines visuals, sound, and emotion, creating an immersive experience that holds viewers’ focus. Research even suggests that video content can increase engagement by up to 50%. Versatility Beyond Compare: The power of videos lies in their flexibility. From compelling brand narratives to showcasing intricate product details, hosting webinars, or offering behind-the-scenes glimpses, videos cover a diverse spectrum of B2B communication requirements. Mastering the Art of Storytelling: Beyond conveying information, videos weave stories. Storytelling establishes a profound connection, rendering your brand more relatable and tapping into your audience’s emotions. ROI Amplified: Investing in video marketing isn’t a mere expenditure; it’s a strategic investment with far-reaching dividends. Elevated engagement, soaring click-through rates, and enhanced conversions combine to deliver a robust ROI. Leveraging B2B Video Marketing: Strategies That Ignite Success The Power of Explainer Videos: In the complex B2B landscape, explaining intricate solutions or processes can be a challenge. Enter explainer videos – concise, engaging, and effective tools to distill complex concepts into digestible visual narratives. Product Demos that Speak Volumes: In B2B, showcasing your products’ capabilities is paramount. Product demo videos take prospects on a journey, showcasing functionalities, features, and benefits while leaving a lasting impact. Webinars: Webinars have emerged as a treasure trove of B2B lead generation that unveils expertise and nurtures leads. Educate your audience, showcase your industry insights, and build trust, all while nurturing valuable leads. Customer Testimonials: Nothing resonates more than authentic voices singing praises. Customer testimonial videos provide a glimpse into real-world success stories, creating a compelling argument for potential clients. Personalized Messages for Personalized Connections: Personalized videos addressed to key stakeholders create an instant rapport. Acknowledge their pain points, offer tailored solutions, and demonstrate that you’re attuned to their needs. Animated Infographics: Visualize Data Brilliance: In the data-rich B2B environment, conveying insights can be daunting. Animated infographics transform complex data into visually appealing narratives, simplifying comprehension. Behind-the-Scenes Glimpses: B2B relationships thrive on transparency. Offer behind-the-scenes glimpses of your processes, showcasing your dedication, expertise, and the human faces behind your brand. Investment That Resonates Across Marketing Strategy Arms Investing in B2B video marketing reverberates across your entire marketing strategy, enhancing every avenue: Paid Advertising Magic: If your video ad doubles engagement, you’re on the path to doubling conversions. The investment in video translates into exponential returns in paid advertising, enhancing your reach and efficacy. Website Conversion: Landing pages with videos witness higher conversions, presenting information in an engaging manner. Engaged visitors are more likely to take desired actions, converting leads into clients. Social Media: Social media thrives on visual content. Videos capture attention in feeds, garnering more shares and engagements, fostering brand loyalty, and expanding your reach. Emails That Truly Connect: Including the word “video” in your email subject line boosts open rates and click-through rates. Engage your audience with video content that leads to deeper exploration. Elevate Your B2B Brand With Viewstream B2B video marketing is more than a trend; it’s a strategy that’s reshaping how brands communicate and connect. By embracing the power of video, you’re embracing engagement, authenticity, and innovation.

Brewing Success: The Cisco Meraki ABM Campaign Posted by John Assalian on July 26, 2023 Embark on a tailored adventure through our exclusive Hybrid Work ABM campaign for Cisco, Cisco Meraki, and Presidio aimed at their top-tier clients. The campaign marries the theme of Hybrid Work (working from home, office, or remote location) with the global workforce’s general love of coffee. Delve into a realm of personalized landing pages, stimulating content, and engaging virtual events while celebrating a shared love of coffee. The campaign will last one year, concluding in December 2023, and each strategic account has opted into a coffee of the month club offered by the Cisco, Cisco Meraki, and Presidio partnership. Every month a different coffee and coffee-related swag item (such as a French press, a cold-brew system, an Ember mug, etc.) is sent out to the primary targets for each account. The box includes a postcard with a unique QR code that takes the target to their respective personalized landing page. Each month the landing page is updated with new content for that month. As the driving force behind this immersive campaign, Viewstream worked hand in hand with Cisco, Cisco Meraki, and Presidio to create an engaging and interactive experience showcasing the partnership’s transformative potential. Join us as we delve into the captivating world of the Hybrid Work ABM Campaign, where imagination and technology come together. Unveiling Cisco Meraki’s Vision Cisco Meraki has long been synonymous with cutting-edge networking solutions that bridge the gap between IT infrastructure, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the physical environment. Their mission is to enable businesses to unleash their full potential by leveraging advanced technology in unprecedented ways. With a focus on cloud-managed products like wireless access points, switches, security appliances, and mobile device management, Cisco Meraki empowers organizations to streamline their networks and elevate their operations to new heights. Viewstream’s Role in Crafting the Campaign As a strategic and creative partner, Viewstream was entrusted with bringing Cisco Meraki’s vision to life through a one-of-a-kind ABM campaign. Working alongside Cisco and Presidio, Viewstream created an engaging and youthful campaign that told the story of how Cisco Meraki’s revolutionary cloud-first solutions and Presidio’s services are boosting productivity and security by embracing the future of hybrid work. An Immersive Landing Page Experience Central to the success of the Cisco Meraki ABM Campaign was the personalized landing page designed for each target account. With creativity and technical expertise, Viewstream collaborated with Cisco and Presidio to develop an ever-evolving landing page that is updated with fresh content every month. Harnessing the power of QR codes, the postcard included in the coffee package led targets to their exclusive landing page, where they discovered new insights, articles, and interactive content tailored to their specific interests. The Perfect Blend of Content and Engagement The month of May was pivotal for the campaign, where the landing page took a unique turn. The Cisco Meraki ABM Campaign went beyond offering delightful coffee packages and engaging landing pages. In lieu of traditional content pieces, targets were invited to an unforgettable virtual event – an immersive experience that mirrored Cisco Meraki’s vision for innovation that included a barista demonstrating how to use the French press and other coffee-related tips. The landing page allowed participants to rate their coffee each month. A key component of the campaign was the ability to reveal valuable insights, encourage active participation, and get feedback from the target audience. This interactive feature not only enhanced the bond between Cisco Meraki and its strategic accounts but also highlighted the company’s commitment to continuous improvement and customer-centricity. Results As of July, the Hybrid Work ABM campaign has generated 190 pipeline opportunities for the partnership worth an estimated $8.5M, of which 29 opportunities have closed. The client is thrilled with the success and is submitting the campaign to Cisco’s Marketing Velocity Innovator Awards. The winners receive recognition at Cisco’s Partner Summit.

SEO for Nonprofits: A Complete Guide Posted by John Assalian on July 24, 2023 Did you know that there are over 1.7 million nonprofit organizations in the United States? With a steady growth rate of 1.4% per year over the past twenty years, nonprofits now make up more than 10% of all companies in the country and contribute roughly 6% to the US economy. Plus, the revenue generated by these organizations has skyrocketed from just over $1 trillion in 2000 to almost $3 trillion in 2023. For nonprofit organizations looking to increase their online presence, implementing effective SEO tips can be a game-changer, especially when it comes to optimizing for queries. Nonprofit organizations are created to serve the community, bring about positive change, and contribute to the betterment of society. To accomplish this, they need to navigate the process of attracting, nurturing, and converting prospective donors. This requires understanding the nuances of creating a strategic marketing plan to reach your target audience and achieve your goals. One vital component of any comprehensive marketing strategy is search engine optimization (SEO) and backlinks, including the use of popular platforms like WordPress. SEO for nonprofits can help organizations increase their visibility, reach a broader audience, and drive more support from prospects that are actively looking for organizations like theirs. In this blog post, we will discuss keyword research and 2023 marketing trends for nonprofits and how nonprofit SEO can help them achieve their mission of creating a brighter tomorrow. What Is SEO for Nonprofits, and Why Is It Important? SEO is the process of improving your website’s online visibility and driving organic traffic through search engine results pages (SERPs). SEO can be achieved through a variety of tactics, including but not limited to optimizing your website content with relevant keywords, link building, and creating high-quality content that enhances user experience. With so many nonprofits competing for attention, it can be hard to stand out. This is where SEO comes in. When someone searches for “donate to [your cause],” you want to be one of the first pages they see in the results. By optimizing your website for search engines, you can drive traffic and ultimately increase donations or conversions. Additionally, having a strong online presence can help establish credibility and trust with potential donors. While this is true for all businesses, donors are rightfully judicious about contributing to great organizations. Establishing an iron-clad digital presence helps prove to them that your nonprofit is trustworthy and established in technical SEO. Do Non-profit Websites Need SEO? Yes, non-profit websites need SEO to increase their visibility and attract donors, volunteers, and supporters. SEO can help non-profits rank higher in search engine results, drive more traffic to their website, and ultimately increase their impact and reach their goals. Steps to Creating an Effective SEO Strategy for Your Nonprofit All roads lead to your bottom line: donations. Traffic is important, and you want to focus on getting more of it, but intent and quality should always be at the forefront. A great SEO strategy works from the bottom up, starting with the most important keywords that donors search for. But how exactly do you go about it? Identify Relevant Keywords: Keywords are the foundation of SEO, so it is essential to research relevant keywords that your target prospects are searching for. Start by identifying the keywords that represent your organization best, such as your mission, program, or services. Use SEO tools like Google Keyword Planner or Semrush to identify popular keywords that people search for related to your organization. After you identify the keywords, you can optimize your website and the content around them.Don’t forget to be nimble, creative, and strategic. Your names and definitions may not always align with what users are searching for. Even further, your target keywords should have a mix of good volume, high intent, and achievability (keyword difficulty).If you’re stuck, see what competitors target, or even check out some suggestions at the bottom of a Google Search page when you type it in yourself. Optimize Your Website: Ensure your website is responsive, user-friendly, and loads quickly. Simplify your website structure and navigation so that visitors can access the information they need quickly and easily. Optimize your website’s metadata with intentional titles, headers, and meta descriptions to make it easy for search engines to understand what your website is about. Use selected keywords in your website’s URL, title tags, headers, and content. Produce Quality Content: Create content that provides value to your target audience, such as articles, blog posts, infographics, and videos. Ensure your content is optimized for your target keywords, engaging, informative, and relevant. By producing high-quality content that people want to engage with, you increase the likelihood of getting more traffic and rankings on search engines.Most importantly, write for people, not bots; keyword stuffing doesn’t win in the SEO world anymore. Google likes content that expands on tangential topics and fundamentally satisfies the search intent of the reader. Connect with Other Relevant Websites: Reach out to other relevant websites and organizations, and offer to create content or guest posts. These websites should be related to your nonprofit’s mission and values and link back to your website ideally. By building relationships with them, you can open new audiences to otherwise inaccessible audiences, thereby driving more traffic to your website. Analyze and Measure Your SEO Results: Analyzing your SEO results is essential to track your progress in building your nonprofit organization’s online visibility. Use Google Analytics and Search Console to monitor your website traffic, where it comes from, and how long visitors stay on the website. You can use SEO tools like Semrush or Moz to evaluate your website’s keyword rankings and see how it compares to competitors. Use this information to improve your SEO strategy continually and find new tactics that generate results. Tips for Attracting Donors and Donor Retention Remember, your positive impact can only be as big as the number of people you can reach. By following these tips, you will be well on your way to effectively attracting and converting prospective donors to further your cause and improve your website’s content and search engine rankings. Get Specific The nonprofit industry is all about serving the community and specific causes. Targeting a specific audience who shares the same values and beliefs is critical for any nonprofit organization. Define your mission and goals and create personas for your target audience. This way, you can understand their needs, assess their financial and geographic reach, and understand how you can best tailor your message to them. Local SEO can help your nonprofit organization reach your target audience in your local area and increase your visibility in search engine results. Mobile optimization is also crucial for nonprofits, as more and more people are accessing the internet through their mobile devices. Communicate The nonprofit industry is about creating trust and transparency. Your content strategy should convey your organizational values, dedication, and transparency to the target audience. One way to do this is by actively engaging with the audience through search and social media, and by making yourself open to feedback and questions. Respond positively to criticisms and use them as feedback to improve your communication strategy. Be Transparent and Accountable People are more likely to connect with an organization when they feel like their resources are being used effectively. Highlight where the funding goes, where it comes from, and how the organization uses it to serve the community. Being transparent in financial and operational procedures will instill a sense of trust in the organization. Guest blogging can be a great way to showcase the organization’s expertise and reach a wider audience. Create Powerful Stories Storytelling evokes emotions and can help you connect with your audience on a personal level. Share stories about how your organization has impacted the community, create meaningful visuals, and show the impact of your organization’s work. People are more likely to invest in your cause when they can see the change your organization is creating and increase brand awareness through on-page optimization. Build a Community Creating a loyal community around your cause is powerful. You can connect with people who are passionate about making a difference and with whom you share a common vision. Create volunteer opportunities, volunteer programs, meetups, and events where people can connect and engage with your organization. This will help you create a community that is invested and passionate about your cause and can help you spread the word about your organization’s new content. 2023 Marketing Trends for Nonprofits Want to take your nonprofit to the next level? Stay ahead of the game by keeping up with the latest trends. We’ve done the research and uncovered insights on everything from social platforms to effective donating strategies. These 2023 nonprofit trends could revolutionize your approach. Don’t miss out on opportunities to grow and succeed. Optimize Your LinkedIn – With roughly 300 million active users each month, this social platform is a unique opportunity to shine a light on your nonprofit’s mission and build your professional network. Plus, with only 1% of users posting and 3 million users sharing content weekly, building up your profile and highlighting your nonprofit in your posts can bring great exposure. One of the best ways to boost visibility on your LinkedIn profile is by using, you guess it, SEO. Optimizing your profile with the right keywords and phrases can increase your ranking and visibility in search results. That means more views, more connections, and more opportunities. Don’t miss out on the power of LinkedIn SEO. Donate Now, Pay Later Options – The “Buy Now, Pay Later” marketing approach has been on the rise over the last several years, with services like Paypal Pay-in-4, AfterPay, and Klarna becoming more popular. Nonprofits have taken the hint and started to implement them into their overall marketing strategies to attract different classes of donors. Imagine being able to donate to your favorite nonprofit or charity without worrying about immediate payment. With “Donate Now, Pay Later” fundraising platforms, you can do just that. It’s a seamless process that allows you to make a donation and pay for it later while the organization receives the funds upfront. Upping Your SMS Communication Reach – Texting is impossible to ignore. Did you know that text messages are opened 98% of the time? Compared to the measly 21% open rate of emails, it’s clear why more nonprofits are turning to SMS for their fundraising efforts. But it’s not just about raising funds – texting creates a unique opportunity for communication with your audience, volunteers, and donors. You can send out a simple “thank you” text to your event volunteers or share photos with your donor list. Modernize Your Payment Methods – Cash and checks are no longer the preferred methods for charitable giving. According to Visa’s Payment Panel, there has been a 10% increase in card payments for donations in the past five years. This means more people are choosing to donate using debit and credit cards. Charities are keeping up with the trend by offering online contribution forms and even accepting donations via digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. What’s even more exciting is that some charities now accept Bitcoin as payment. So, if you’re looking to make a difference, modernize your payment methods and capture a whole new generation of donors. Take Your Nonprofit to the Next Level with Viewstream By offering high-quality content and optimizing it around your target keywords, nonprofit organizations can create a sustainable, long-term approach to increase support at a higher rate than the competition. We have a long track record of driving marketing success in the nonprofit space, with campaigns tailored to the unique needs and goals of your organization.

The Viewstream team filmed our speaker in front of a green screen, and later keyed in motion-graphics and supporting infographics to bring the video to life. Viewstream understands the needs of today’s high-tech pioneers who are producing the chips that enable manufacturers to build “what comes next” after successful digital transformation initiatives.
