Video is passive; reaches large audience and feelings are remembered. Suitable for inspiration.
Print is engaging; reaches a smaller audience with more intensity. Suitable for imparting facts.
Digital is accessible; reaches a mainstream audience of tech-savvy young generation, can even attract ‘reluctant’ readers.
