For the media and creative industry, the switch to video is already disrupting trends. Current research shows that 64 per cent of consumers say they have purchased a product after watching social videos created by brands. 54 per centof people have said they want to see more video content from marketers, and up to 80 per cent of users can recall a video ad they viewed in the past 30 days.
“We have enlisted the support of accomplished industry professionals to teach participants the nuances of navigating the next wave of content demands and the media industry in general,” said Bankole. To this end, he said, Mr Afolayan, an accomplished actor and movie director, will be joined by other leading industry professionals such as award-winning music video director, Buari Olalekan Oluwasegun, who is more widely known by his stage name Unlimited L.A.
