Eloqua found that video is a cutomers preffered content over text (SOURCE) because a voice conveys rich information and peopel prefer to engage with the emotions of a face.
One great example I love is Casey Neistat who makes exceptional commercial videos with a fun engaging twist. These are the type of videos we can all make with a bit of practice and interestingly, Casey style has attracted millions of views for Nike, Mercedes and the Walter Mitty film.

Good luck!
