Creating Video for Data-Conscious Audiences

Data costs shape viewing.

Tips

Short, captioned, compressed.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Only posting graphics and no video
• Not repurposing content across channels
• Ignoring comments and messages
• No clear call to action

Quick checklist before you start

• Clear call to action on key posts
• Monthly review of what drove enquiries
• Community replies within a day
• Content pillars and calendar agreed
• Captions and subtitles on every video

Key takeaway

How African brands can create video that respects data costs: short, compressed, captioned. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
