Storytelling with short video series to build anticipation and engagement

This is a great way to build anticipation around products or services being offered by your business and at the same time, you can engage your target audience. If you have a long concept or video then you can break it up into smaller pieces for easier understanding of viewers. Now, that leads to a series of videos, which can explain the same topic in multiple videos. This inevitably builds up the anticipation and engages your viewers.
