your audience within the

first 10 seconds of

Playback.”

likely to leave after 30

seconds of viewing

watching a 2 or 5

minute clip.”

The key question?

• SEO helps to get you seen but in this world of

“information snackers”…..

How does your content get heard

and remembered?

New Industry Standard

HuStream sees the world of video differently….

– Technology alone can bring you to 45 seconds.

– Combine your understanding of people, what they crave,

and then give them control and respect…

5-8 minutes becomes the norm!
