How Virtual Reality Is Affecting Corporate Video Advertising
When it comes to the future of corporate video advertising, virtual reality is a real possibility.
While to some, virtual reality is still considered niche, many believe that it is the new face of digital advertising.

Nevertheless, a report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau concluded that virtual reality is a real possibility when looking at the future of advertising.
Apparently, the subject of VR has become increasingly popular amongst media brands such as VICE, NYT, and Fox Sports, as they’ve pioneered through and created sponsorship opportunities, product placement, and immersive ads.
Even non-media brands such as real estate or travel can benefit off of alternate realities by building more interactive experiences for users and customers. Something as simple as store-front set-ups or interactive booths at trade shows can help a brand immensely by showing how up-to-speed they really are.
It leaves one to question: is this where our culture is going?
According to Mashable, the potential of VR and augmented reality (AR) in everyday brands can further blur the line between traditional advertising and consumer media. With VR, it becomes less about speaking to an audience, bu rather reaching them on a level they can understand. By creating VR setups, brands are taking the time and money to create a world curated specifically for their user’s experience.
Though VR comes with its own set of trials (it being expensive, for one). Not every company (especially start-ups) can afford to invest in alternate reality programming. Then there’s also the issue of demographic; how old is your audience? Will a VR experience immerse them, or turn them off? How much is too much? While newer companies might be able to get away with a more tech-savvy audience, older companies might not.

Things To Consider For Your Company’s PSA
If your company wants to create a meaningful social change, a PSA might be your best bet.
What you want the world to know about a social issue, behaviour, or epidemic, is imperative. Typically, a #PSA, or Public Service Announcement (or Advertisement) should aim to raise awareness and change public behaviour towards a social issue. If you’re a not-for-profit organization or grassroots movement, you might want to consider the following when coming up with a concept for your PSA:
Know your audience
When deciding on who you want your message to directly reach, you’ll have to know who your target demographic is. Are they aged 18-35? 40-60? Of a certain ethnicity or social class? What about targeted neighbourhoods? A bit of research might go a long way when you want to know who they are. After all, this will affect:
a) how they will consume your content, making it easier to determine how to distribute your video
b) what they would actually be interested in seeing
c) what type of video production company will be best to hire when coming together to create your vision
In a previous post, we discussed Dove’s Real Beauty sketch campaign that highlighted the way women often view themselves. Naturally, this campaign resonated with its viewers, instantly becoming the most viral ad of all time. What Dove probably did not anticipate was its crossover appeal. With over 114 million views, it quickly becoming a favourite for both men and women. One of the main reasons why this campaign was so successful was because Dove knew who its target audience was: women of all ages who use their beauty products. Everyone else was just extra.
Have a strong message
One of the last things you want is to create a forgettable ad. A memorable PSA means it has a message that resonates with its viewers. Whether it is to meant to create a high emotional response or be thought provoking, it must have a point.
If, for whatever reason, the production value doesn’t go according to plan, you’ll want your audience to at least grasp what you were trying to say. If all else fails, a strong message should be your last pillar of strength.
Create powerful visuals
Most PSAs depend on a strong use of visuals. This doesn’t just mean visually-stunning shots on high-end HD cameras. This could just include heart-gripping shots of things we don’t normally see. Things that many of us ignore or have gone through in the past. Things that get our attention.
Some PSAs hardly make use of a script at all.
Make your script concise
Some of the best PSAs don’t actually say much.
What we mean is, often times the script in a PSA is minimal, while the ad or announcement depends on the visuals to tell the story.
Whether it is a voiceover, direct on-camera dialogue, or text appearing at the screen, make sure it is short and to the point.
