Wootag on shopper interactivity – interview
The ways in which we shop are becoming increasingly effortless and diverse. There is also pressure for online stores to think outside the box more and find newer ways to engage and retain customers.
Wootag is delighted to chat with Channel NewsAsia’s First Look Asia for our perspective on how today’s user experience will be driven by curiosity as well as a desire for relevant content.

Flipping the turntables, we approach travel videos through the lens of the consumer and ask what content gets them inspired and forward-looking for their next adventure? Continue Reading
Travel brands are non-conformists and juggernauts in reinventing themselves to attract new eyeballs. The importance for them to adapt lies in destinations not being as new or exotic as before. The lack of novelty goes in line with the industry’s increased online resources and more competitive prices.
Be it airlines, destination campaigns, comparison websites or travel apps, travel brands are constantly evolving with their audiences having to keep up with ever-changing consumer expectations of what a place has to offer.
According to Think with Google, some 67% of views of travel videos fall under professionally released or brand-related videos. A report from Skift points out destinations have the keenest interest to put in place a video content strategy as over 70% of YouTube searches are for destination names.
Interactive videos, in particular, are a surefire way of unfolding a constructive conversation. This two-way dialogue allows the user to respond to the video through feedback or participation and learn more about the product objectively. For the travel industry, Instagram feeds and Facebook live are defining travellers’ experiences through unique and shareable social content.
With the younger millennials, travel brands will need to drive content that has an emotional connection, aspirational theme and that is intellectually nourishing. This includes finding insightful ways to tell stories from a local perspective.
Video is the perfect platform for stories that feature a greater sense of adventure and authenticity, build the curiosity of understanding the world and a desire for immersing in a local culture. Jason Dorsey, a marketing author and the speaker says, “Today’s traveller is technologically dependent and that dependence is merely a conduit through which to dream, research, share and experience travel.”
We look at some travel brands that are creating a meaningful user experience and engaging them through authentic and unusual storytelling.
Movie marketing is no longer confined to trailers and static videos as audiences have become more accustomed to something with a twist and in different formats.
The latest fast-food brands war between Burger King and McDonald’s sees Burger King trolling McDonald’s with the motto “Never trust a clown” in the screening of horror flick ‘It’.
The film involves a creepy clown as the arch villain in the movie and by making reference to it, it displays Burger King’s brilliance in combining satire, guerilla marketing and product placement then woven into a major blockbuster. What a Whopper Burger King!

A video that drives digital impact
Marketers face a formidable challenge in trying to reach a broad audience across market segments and geographies in the shortest time. For CPG plans, this can be particularly complex. Where video was formerly used to tell stories and create brand awareness, there is a need to distil it to product awareness, acquire customers and drive sales. A video will drive purposeful intentionality and originality, and similarly, tackle these priority goals of a conversion funnel. Continue Reading
Be it from the sensational to the moving to the uplifting, we are always on the lookout for videos that capture us and speak to us.
