Vidyard Brings Video Engagement Tracking and Analytics to Act-On Marketing …

KITCHENER, ON, Dec 03, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) —
Vidyard, a global leader in video marketing and sales enablement
solutions, today launched its integration with the Act-On marketing
automation platform. The integration gives Act-On users the ability
to track video viewing activities of their contacts across all
distribution channels. Marketers can now leverage the resulting video
engagement data to drive qualified leads and help move those leads
through the sales funnel more effectively.

Leveraging the Vidyard integration, Act-On users can track which
videos each contact has watched and how long they remained engaged in
the message. By pushing this data directly into contact records
within Act-On, marketers can enhance lead scoring and nurturing
programs to better qualify prospects and increase conversion
velocity.

« Online video is an important part of Act-On’s own digital marketing
mix, and as a Vidyard customer, we have seen tremendous value in
leveraging the technology to track the viewership and engagement our
videos receive across channels, » said Atri Chatterjee, Chief
Marketing Officer at Act-On. « With the Vidyard integration, our
customers now have the ability to see which videos their prospects
are watching and use that data to better nurture and convert
customers. It’s about giving our customers access to the right data
to make smarter marketing decisions. »

While it’s important to use a variety of content throughout the sales
cycle, video is emerging as the most powerful medium to drive
increased engagement and conversion rates. In a recent survey by
research firm Demand Metric, more than 70 percent of marketers
reported that video converts better than other content types, but
less than 10 percent are using video analytics to help qualify leads
and improve the results of demand generation programs.

With the new partnership, Act-On users can now:

--  Identify video viewers and track which content they watch and for how
    long
--  Use video viewing and engagement data inside Act-On to enhance lead
    scoring and nurturing
--  Speed up their sales cycles with insight on what content interests
    their prospects
--  Generate more leads by adding calls to action, forms or email gates to
    videos
--  Know how effective their videos are at converting prospects through
    the buying journey


« Leading marketers now recognize that video has transitioned from a
‘can be’ to ‘must be’ part of their content and demand generation
programs, » said Chris Kiersch, President of MyBusinessIntegrated, a
leading digital marketing agency specializing in marketing automation
and Act-On implementations. « With Vidyard’s new integration, Act-On
users can now leverage video in a more strategic manner to better
qualify their leads and improve the overall results of their digital
marketing programs. We’re excited to partner with Vidyard to bring
these capabilities to the Act-On community. »
