Why video is "liquid" content in a solid social media world - Schaefer Marketing Solutions

Why video is "liquid" content in a solid social media world - Schaefer Marketing Solutions | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

For video to be truly social we need to think about the technology in a new way.


...Video is exploding on the web today. Wider bandwidths, faster processors and increased storage capacity have opened the door for video to enter into the social web. So it becomes logical to ask, as Will Overstreet does in a recent post, “how do we make video more social?’


But if we are to ever achieve a truly social web video practice, technology designers will have to deal with the deeper contradiction in meanings between “social web” and “video.”


In his post, Will points out that video interactivity falls way behind in comparison to standard social media practices. He asks how we can make video live up to the same expectations and thus make the user experience more seamless. These are valid questions. I want to crack open the problem by using an analogy: video is “liquid”  and social media is “solid.”.…

Product Strategy: Pictures Are Worth a Million Words

Product Strategy: Pictures Are Worth a Million Words | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Why don't more businesses use pictures or videos to explain their products when they can make things so much easier to understand?


I recently purchased a great coffee maker, the Nespresso. Sometimes when you get a product like this, you pull it out of the box and consider skipping the instructions all together given how long it might take to read the four point type, right?


But wow, what a pleasant surprise, the Nespresso manual was...you guessed it...made up of pictures! It took no time for us to be sipping some fine espresso out of our new green machine. They've also got a great section right on their website called, "You have just bought a Nespresso machine", with content dedicated to the first use of your machine, troubleshooting, and how to register for the Nespresso club. It's super visual as well....

Funny thing is, we know video marketing works. And we've got the pictures to prove it.

Commercialization won’t ruin Instagram video—yet | TechHive

Commercialization won’t ruin Instagram video—yet | TechHive | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Instagram ads are coming. We don’t know what they’ll look like or when they’ll arrive. But Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has promised that Instagram won’t be ad-free forever. The world’s largest brands are already using the photo-sharing app and its new video tool to pimp their products.


Facebook is betting big on mobile ads, which went from being a blip on the social network’s radar to accounting for 41 percent of the company’s ad revenue in just one year. The network reportedly plans to run 15-second, TV-style ads in users’ News Feeds, which could cost advertisers $2.5 million a pop. If that 15-second limitation—as yet unconfirmed by Facebook—sounds familiar, it’s because 15 seconds is also the cap that Instagram put on its new video tool.


Companies are familiarizing themselves with Instagram video as they prepare for the inevitable launch of video ads and seek to avoid angering Instagram devotees in the process....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Can Instacrap be far away? As this post says: "Companies are clamoring to expand their social media strategy to video, but they have to be careful not to scare away Instagram’s indie-at-heart users."
