In this episode of the Digital Marketing Podcast, we welcome back Jon Mowat to discuss some of the psychology and methodology behind video’s success.

Some of his theories are brilliant... Are people more willing to pay for an object or service they see on their phone than a screen on the other side of the room?

If you listen to the end, Jon also reveals how to get a discount for his book ‘Video Marketing; Create Engaging Video Campaigns to Drive Brand Growth and Sales’. to get the full show notes and links visit
