SundaySky\u2019s 2021 Summit Series was held virtually but the learnings and experiences shared showed the real value of connecting with customers. Along with our clients and partners, we examined the current state of customer experience (CX), digital marketing, consumer-brand relationships, and how to solve marketers\u2019 and brands\u2019 biggest concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meet The Editor: Addressing the Current State of Customer Disengagement with Our New Video Creator Tool<\/h2>\n

We all know there’s a problem with customer disengagement, and it\u2019s a problem that\u2019s only growing. There are more demands on our time and attention than ever. Then came the pandemic, and life changed\u2014in some ways permanently. It was a paradigm shift, and, very suddenly, the normal no longer worked.<\/p>\n

According to IBM<\/strong><\/a>, U.S. retail hit e-commerce levels not expected until 2025. Digital immediately went from nice-to-have to necessary, especially for laggard industries like online grocery shopping<\/strong><\/a>. Brands found they had to think holistically about CX, and re-examined how they’d been using digital channels to reach customers.<\/p>\n

Consumers see from 4,000 to 10,000 ads<\/a><\/strong> and marketing messages every single day. So given what we’ve already laid out above, they’re understandably picky about where they\u2019re going to focus their attention.<\/p>\n

For brands, it’s tough to stand out. One reason is that they’re using the same marketing platforms and solutions. That means they’re often delivering the same experience to customers as their competition. Consumers turn off because these experiences are repetitive, don’t explain value sufficiently, and don\u2019t speak to their needs. This is what Forrester senior analyst Nick Barber calls “digital sameness,\u201d<\/a><\/strong> and it’s a big factor in customer digital disengagement.<\/p>\n

The only solution is to deliver an experience that is unique, captivating, and offers value. According to Forbes, the average user spends 88% more time on websites that include video. This echoes our own data: in the past year, SundaySky viewer engagement has increased by over 12% per video viewed. This tells us where consumers are choosing to direct their precious time and attention.<\/p>\n

But marketers are stretched thin, and don’t always have the expertise or in-house resources to create the marketing campaigns they want. Those campaigns are relevant, easily scalable, and\u2014crucially\u2014include video, the most powerful medium, and the one customers crave. They need technology that can do much of the work for them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s why we developed a hands-on and intuitive video creator: The Editor<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s the newest addition to the SundaySky Video Platform to help businesses of any size create, deliver, and optimize their own unique and scalable video experiences.<\/p>\n

REDCON1: An Early Adopter of Modular Video and SundaySky\u2019s Editor for Video Creation<\/h2>\n

REDCON1<\/a><\/strong>, a sports nutrition brand, is growing at a fast pace, and they’re now in over 80 countries. But along the way, they became concerned that they’d lost touch with their customers. They were treating each the same, whether they were already established customers or new, first timers.<\/p>\n

CMO Ryan Monahan knew they needed to communicate differently to each customer, offer different information, provide value, and solve their needs for that moment in time. Instead of thinking about moving product, they wanted to refocus on developing relationships and offering value with each interaction.<\/p>\n

Modular video content was the solution because of its high engagement and problem-solving capabilities. The company is an early user of The Editor video creator tool. It enables REDCON1 to create individual relationships with its customers through data-driven video and dynamic video templates. The tool is easy to learn and simple to use. If you can use PowerPoint, says CMO Ryan Monahan, you can easily pick up The Editor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt was through video and SundaySky that we were able to change the conversation and create a one-on-one personalized relationship,\u201d says Monahan.\u00a0\u201cIf we rethink the importance of video, not as an elective, but as an essential for growing, scaling and nurturing our consumer relationships, we’re now able to compete against the biggest customer experience brands because we have the ability to show each customer that they matter, that we’re willing to take the time beyond just transactions to create value that changes their lives,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
