We have used multiple forms of content like a topical subject, video, conversational content, snippets, etc. to keep users engaged in a way that they can make better financial decisions. Some of the top social media platforms which have worked for us are LinkedIn, Facebook and Quora. Good, relevant and engaging content has helped our Brand to be one of the top choices for any financial needs.
Video has emerged as a dominant communication format. How do you go about planning and implementing a video content strategy?
Ranjit: At BankBazaar we have a well-planned annual video strategy as this format is getting consumed now far more than any other format of content. Our internal content data and secondary research data also backs the fact the current generation and new generation will primarily prefer video formats. Our conviction in video as a content format is so much that we have dedicated an internal team to conceptualize and create relevant and topical BFSI content. At BankBazaar we make multiple content formats but, our most favored content are small video snippets as most of the video content is consumed when the user is on the go. YouTube and Facebook have consistently been our preferred channels for content dissemination. These platforms have helped us to reach the right audience and with some strong analytics we have been able to consistently finetune our content
