Building Brand Engagement Through Online Video

For the past year or so, we have seen tremendous growth in online video creation and distribution amongst our clients for PR and more recently, for content marketing purposes. PR Newswire released the results of a study of press releases and media reports which conveyed that, including video and other multimedia assets generates almost fifty times more views than plain text messages. More recently, in our 2013 video marketing survey, 81% of respondents think video is an effective marketing tool. While we are producing more videos each year, do brands get it right every time?

Neal Moore, Co-Founder & CEO of Click2View Asia will be sharing his insights on how to create compelling videos so that your content could be the main attraction and how to build your own audience for life instead of renting it for a campaign. With more than 20 years of experiences as a Reuters journalist in Asia, Europe and the America, John O’Callaghan, Director of Publishing & Partnerships Southeast Asia of Edelman, will share his views on how PR and marketing professionals could better utilize their multimedia content in this changing media landscape. Finally, Royce Shih, Vice President Asia Pacific Sales & Marketing of PR Newswire, will also discuss the importance of having a strategy to distribute branded news and content, with tips and case studies of how video content could be better amplified.

Eventually he was poached by online TV channel TelecomTV.com and rose quickly to become their Global Sales Manager.
Neal moved to Singapore with TelecomTV in 2009 to take up the role of APAC General Manager but soon caught the start-up bug and left to launch his own content marketing and production company Click2View, with business partner Simon Kearney, in October 2010.
