What This Hub Covers

The Viewer's Side of B2B Video

This hub covers attention and trust in B2B video, and why a viewer keeps watching. I have a BS in Psychology from Macquarie University, and I've presented 1,000+ videos.

On the site today, the trifecta section of our VSL guide explains how message and delivery combine with visuals. Our study of 39 engagements measures how presenter-led video did against each client's own baseline. The talking head page shows the format behind HighGear's result below.

Full guide coming. Until then, the talking head video page covers the most.

If the delivery is good and the visuals are good, but the message doesn't hit, they're just going to tune out. If the message and the visuals are good, but the delivery is off, then it just seems fake, and they'll exit out.
