The Power of Video in a Pastoral Search

by Jeff Brown on January 14, 2016


One of the primary tools developed by JobfitMatters, the executive search firm Central engaged to assist with our search for a new Senior Pastor, is an introductory video. The piece provides a brief history of Central, as well as reflections from a number of members, elders, and staff. Why was a video important? Did you know that in 2015:

  • Online video now accounts for 50% of all mobile traffic?1
  • 65% of video viewers watch more than 3/4 of a video?2
  • 78% of people watch video online every week. 55% of people watch online videos every day.3
  • In 2015, experts  believe video will take up 57% of consumer internet traffic. That's nearly 4x as much as web browsing and email. By 2017, video is projected to consume 69% of internet traffic, and by 2018, it's projected to rise to 79%.3
  • 80% of senior executives watch more online video today than they did a year ago.4
  • Simply using the word "video" in an email subject line boosts open rates by 19% and increase click-through rates by 65%.5
