PROVO, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–June marks the fifth year anniversary of Xcelus, LLC., an award-winning visual communications and digital media company. Half of all businesses never reach this milestone, according to the Small Business Administration.

Xcelus, through its experienced team and national network of development professionals, works with businesses to create, write, and produce high quality video and audio using industry-leading technology to engage and inform target audiences.

“The first five years of any business are challenging,” said Todd Corbett, President of Xcelus. “We not only survived them; we thrived. Xcelus houses some of the best talent in the video and Web industry. Businesses are finding that online rich media content, including video, is critical to generating sales and training employees. With the talent and tools we offer, our role is increasingly important.”

Xcelus has earned numerous awards, including three Horizon Interactive Awards for excellence in interactive media production, and multiple Telly Awards, which recognize “the finest video and film productions, and work created for the Web.” The company has produced video for notable clients including Hitachi, Life Technologies, SirsiDynix, VitalSmarts and Franklin Covey.

Xcelus’ business success is due, in large part, to its foresight. When the company launched in 2005, only 40 percent of American households had a broadband internet connection¹, YouTube was preparing to launch², and Internet ad spending was about $198 million³. Today, about 60 percent of households have a broadband connection⁴, users upload 24 hours of YouTube video per minute⁵, and 2010 Internet ad spending is forecasted to reach $25.1 billion⁶.

Online video is fast becoming the tool of choice for sales to deliver product information. Too often the web analytics about those online videos end up in the marketing department leaving sales to guess who watched the video, how long did was the video viewed, and did they view additional videos.

Xcelus’ Online Video Presenter Platform allows sales to view  video analytics in detail about each video message through the platform.   Details about prospects who watched the video, when they watched the video, and if they watched additional video content.

Xcelus’ online video analytics were designed to give sales a quick overview of their prospects video behavior.   A quick glance can show the details of what videos were watched and what percentage of the videos were viewed.

Giving sales teams this type information about their prospects can only enhance their prospecting efforts.  Sales can now adjust their follow-up sales pitch based on viewing habits.
