Hands down, video is the best way to connect with your audience online!

If you own a business or work in a marketing department, there’s a lot of compelling evidence to suggest that online video marketing should be a major focus of your advertising and marketing budget.

If you’re not using video marketing, you’re missing out on a huge market opportunity. It’s not just the number of people who are watching videos that’s important – it’s the reasons why they watch it.

No other medium communicates MORE in LESS TIME with BETTER RESULTS than online video!

Does it matter what kind of video is being used? ABSOLUTELY!

Google Insights shows a significant increase in search volumes for infographic related terms. This trend is due to an over-abundance of information online… people have ever-shortening attention spans and want information fast! Check out the stats below…

A professionally designed and promoted infographic has huge benefits for brand recognition and industry authority.

The 5 Step Process is quite simple actually (it can take a lot of time though)… Here it is:

1. Design an infographic unlike any other
There are a lot of infographics out there. Make one that is valuable to people and looks awesome so they want to share!

2. Write a blog on your site
Add the infographic to your blog with an explanation of the concept as well as a snippet of code for visitors to embed it on their site. Don’t forget to ask for shares, comments and likes!

3. Share on social media outlets
Social sharing is a huge part of the process! Share your blog URL (driving people to your site) on Social Media sites like: Visual.ly, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest (pin from your blog), Tumblr, Flickr, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Etc. There are too many sites to count, but the ones listed above matter the most! Don’t forget to hashtag infographic related terms!

4. Write a Press Release
We use PRweb.com for our infographic Press Release and distribution, we recommend the mid-tier priced option, $199-369. This helps for SEO but more importantly pushes your content to news sources like Yahoo News and others to give your brand a national push!

5. Send an eBlast
Follow up with an email blast to your contact list (we do not recommend buying lists) to let them know about the release and what they can learn from your infographic – link to your blog URL. We recommend a service like MailChimp which is free for lists of up to 2,000 and is very user-friendly.

In recent years, video has taken over as one of the most successful mediums to reach and connect with your audience. We’ve seen the success of explanatory videos to help people understand your product or service, marketing videos used to generate traffic and viral videos created to make people laugh and connect with your brand. Video is something that companies can no longer ignore, especially as 2013 rolls out and attention spans are on the progressive decline (particularly online).

Check out our most recent experimental video combining motion, photography and music to take you on a journey through Seattle in 1 minute.

Giving back is a huge part of the Skybox Creative culture, not only though financial means, but with our time and energy as well (the best gift we can give). This year, we rallied up with Urban Angels for their annual Thanksgiving dinner and blanket drive. From chopping veggies to distributing blankets and documenting the event via photography and video, the Skybox crew was happy to be part of such an important event.

Founded by Scott Lutwak, owner of Fit Athletic San Diego, Urban Angels has been feeding the homeless on a weekly basis for several years and has plans for a permanent housing and rehabilitation center due to open in January 2013. This group has done a phenomenal job at recruiting volunteers to date, but will need quite a few more come 2013, so we encourage you to get involved! Learn more by visiting their website.

We are proud to announce that Skybox Creative President, Angelina Sereno, is a finalist in the 19th Annual San Diego Business Journal Women Who Mean Business Awards 2012.

One of the largest SDBJ events of the year, over 900 are expected in attendance to mingle and watch as San Diego business leaders receive recognition for their hard work and influence. This years’ awards ceremony luncheon will take place on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 from 11:30am-2:00pm at the Town & Country Resort in Mission Valley. This prestigious event was created 19 years ago to honor women who have contributed significantly to the local business community and has become a San Diego tradition, growing in scale and notariety.

Sereno stands among some of the brightest and most courageous business women in San Diego, from companies such as Jack in the Box, San Diego Chargers, Digitaria, UCSD and more.

Angelina Sereno started things small in 2006. What began as a Web Design and Branding studio out of her home, has become a team of twelve with an office in the heart of San Diego. The Skybox name has since expanded to include Skybox Ink, a Green Printing division and Skybox SEO, a Search Engine Marketing division. Skybox quickly found itself providing creative services to a wide variety of industries and clients including Warner Bros., CBS, PETCO, Red Bull, LA Fitness and US Bank.

Angelina has won the highest honors at every phase of her development and proven her metal in today’s fast-paced, rapidly changing, media-based world. An all-star graduate of the Art Institute of CA-SD, her design work and leadership influence have won her numerous awards and nominations nationwide.

Angelina had plans for Skybox to become more than just a successful creative agency, but for it to fuel her larger vision. A philanthropist and environmentalist at heart, she is an ongoing sponsor of numerous charitable organizations, including Urban Angels, GreenPeace, Sierra Club, CleanPB, Feed the Children and more.

“I’m honored to be listed among such amazing women in San Diego.” said Sereno, “I’m so excited for this year’s event… for the opportunity to connect with fellow nominees who embrace their leadership and greatness.”

Leading event sponsors include Union Bank, ESET Internet Security, Kaiser Permanente, Active Network, Fashion Valley Mall and Town & Country Resort.
