Describes how Shoot2Share works and how it can be used to create a hotel review.

1. “Consumer behaviour and expectations have forever changed. With powerful phones in our pockets,
we do more than just check the time, text a spouse, or catch up with friends. We turn to our phones
with intent and expect brands to deliver immediate answers. It's in these I-want-to-know, I-want-to-
go, I-want-to-do, I-want-to-buy moments that decisions are made and preferences are shaped.”

2. WTM London 2015
Comments from Google UK Sales Director Dr. Bernd Fauser on video:
• Some of the top reasons people watch videos online are travel related – 27% to relax
and escape, 45% to be entertained and inspired, 14% to pursue a hobby.
• Almost 50% of travellers use online video in some shape or form before deciding
where to go on holiday.
• Attendees also heard how consumers are using video to make critical trip purchasing
decisions – 65% when they are thinking about taking a trip, 67% when choosing a
destination, 67% when looking for ideas for activities, 63% when deciding on
accommodation and 26% when deciding which website to book on.
• Video plays a vital role for brands because most consumers are undecided about
what companies to book with and find it hard to differentiate between them.

3. Video is exploding on digital platforms & social media

4. Creating and sharing digital video is easy……or so they say!

5. First you need to create a storyboard for your video,
prepare a shot list and then get a film crew together.

6. Once you’ve filmed, you need to do some digital editing -
which can be a bit more complicated than initially thought!

7. Once you’re finished editing, you then need to export your video
in the correct formats to share across social media platforms.

8. There are loads of filming & editing apps
available, but they don’t cover the full process.

9. All a bit too complicated????

10. What if there was a much easier way to shoot
and share video, using only your smartphone?

11. Shoot2Share
Shoot2Share is a guided video creation, automated editing and publishing app,
which enables users to very easily create videos using pre-formatted storyboards

opportunity to create their own videos and to capitalise on influencer marketing
