Video creativity: Why are brands creating blah content?

Video creativity: Why are brands creating blah content? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Video content reach is at an all-time high, but brands still don't generate more than 1,000 views. Where has all the creativity gone?


...With Americans clicking on and watching more videos than ever, brands must set their campaigns apart from the competition, which Pixability, a YouTube-certified marketing company, found is easier said than done. The agency noted that more than 50 percent of 200,000 business videos across 1,270 YouTube Channels have fewer than 1,000 views. Because the aggregate production value totals more than $4.3 billion, it’s clear companies aren’t seeing the content ROI they hoped for during production....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Despite the power of video, research shows a huge lack of creativity and proper planning are holding companies back from getting results on YouTube and other social media channels.

It is interesting, isn't it? Tons of brands, but blah video content. Now that Instagram Video is finally taking off, I'm curious to see who'll cut through the blahdom. Personally, I thought the #jobsmovie did a great job, and I love that #comicon had an instagram video scavenger hunt! I think Instagram will change the way videos are branded, and that will help ROI through content.

When it comes content marketing for your business, there are a lot of different ways you can go. Blogging is obviously one of the most popular, but there are also eBooks, eNewsletters, podcasts, and more. One popular type of content creation involves video, and while I have only dabbled in it a bit, I think that many businesses and nonprofits could use video effectively if they tried their hand at it.


The other day I talked about using Vimeo as one option, though of course the biggest option for video uploading and sharing continues to be Youtube. But regardless if you use one or both of these services, or even another option, video can be a great way to tell your story and grab attention. And remember, making a video today does not need to involve lots of money or high priced equipment. Yes, you can do really nice productions, but for some videos, it is perfectly acceptable to use webcams or smartphone cams. Here are five different types of video content you can use online to grab and maintain the interest of your audience...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

If you're thinking about adding video to your marketing, these are great tips for small biz, PR, marketing and content marketing pros.
