Do you think you work in a field that is "too serious" or "unsexy" to advertise in?
Video is a powerful tool and contrary to what you may think, it can be adapted to all sectors! And if your competitors have not yet grasped the niche, don't think that video has no place, on the contrary, it's time to stand out!
Reach your target where they are! In an ultra-connected world, consumers no longer go online for every administrative procedure and all sectors are concerned. Whether it concerns banking, insurance, accounting, law or any other administrative process, in general, the user goes online as soon as it is possible.
The sectors mentioned here are particular because they concern a service and not a product. In addition, we will be talking about more delicate subjects such as law, money or health, which leads to the use of a particular form of communication and promotion.
If you follow our blog articles regularly, you know that video has a special and very powerful impact! It's engaging and adapts perfectly to different types of communication in all sectors. We have selected a few to illustrate the impact of video through some significant examples.

It is time for your bank to communicate where the user is... Online! Obviously, it is not a question of drowning the user in a mountain of figures and non-digestible information. Typically, the bank communicates its values and its USP* via a strong emotional message, which can be done through a funny or touching storytelling for example.
*USP: The unique selling proposition is a sales or service proposition which, as its name indicates, is "unique". It is a strong and differentiating marketing and sales element, your competitors must not have the same USP as you.
The Boursorama bank ad is hilarious! Declined in several versions, we see situations of everyday life where we put forward the fact that we never recommend something "average" to someone. You can see an average restaurant, a not so good apartment for sale, and even the slogan "at Boursorama bank, almost half of the customers come under the advice of a relative".
Of course we know what we're talking about! If you're still confused, we'd like to introduce you to one of our clients in the banking sector. Duckmotion has made an explanatory video on the business model of MOZZENO.
