The Immersive Video Funnel Playbook

Are your content marketing efforts, like webinars and tutorials, generating a high volume of leads that go nowhere? Many businesses struggle with prospects providing minimal or fake information just to access content. This results in a poor lead-to-customer conversion rate and wastes valuable sales team resources on uninterested contacts.


This playbook details how to build 'The Immersive Video Funnel' to solve your lead quality problem. By leveraging a dedicated video marketing platform, you will embed lead capture forms and calls-to-action (CTAs) directly within your video content. This strategy captures prospect information at their peak moment of interest, ensuring the leads you generate are highly engaged, qualified, and ready for the next step.

Expected Outcomes

  • Dramatically increase the quality and qualification of incoming leads.
  • Boost lead-to-customer conversion rates.
  • Reduce wasted sales team time spent on uninterested prospects.
  • Capture more accurate first-party data from engaged users.
  • Improve the overall ROI of your video content marketing.

Integration Logic

  • WP Mautic Form Integrator

    This integration uses a WordPress plugin, 'WP Mautic Form Integrator', to act as the bridge between your website and Mautic. When a visitor submits a form on your WordPress site, the plugin intercepts the data. It then makes an API call to your Mautic instance, passing the submitted information (like name, email, etc.) to create a new contact or update an existing one. Additionally, the plugin can deploy a script to monitor embedded YouTube players on the same page. When a user watches a video, it tracks engagement (e.g., percentage watched) and sends this activity data to the corresponding Mautic contact's timeline, allowing for more advanced segmentation and campaign triggers.
