10 Excellent Examples of Video Marketing on Facebook

10 Excellent Examples of Video Marketing on Facebook | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Over recent years, the criteria for engagement on social media has evolved from announcing your brand or product to finding a way to tell a story.


Quality branded video campaigns allow companies to project said story in some really creative and unique ways. Whether you're spreading brand awareness, announcing a new product, or launching a company, great branded video makes customers feel an emotional connection. And that emotional reaction can be really powerful.


In fact, a recent survey by eZanga found that 30% of respondents were less likely to skip video content if it was humorous. And research by Dr. Karen Nelson-Field found that 65% of videos that elicited a feeling of exhilaration were most remembered.


When it comes to finding the right platform to promote your video, Facebook is a strong contender. In fact, just this past January it announced that platform now sees 100 million hours of daily video watch time. So to help inspire your video marketing efforts on Facebook, I put together a list of 10 clever examples from brands like Apple, LG, BMW, and more. Check them out below....

Facebook To Collect Brand-Sponsored Content Data | Ryan Skinner

Facebook To Collect Brand-Sponsored Content Data | Ryan Skinner | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

An announcement late last week by the Facebook media team may have been overlooked by many marketers, but it has intriguing ramifications.


Facebook announced that it would effectively allow any organization with a verified page to publish brand-sponsored content without asking Facebook for explicit permission first, provided that content was tagged to the brand. They said:


"Today we're updating our branded content policy to enable verified Pages to share branded content on Facebook. Along with changes to our branded content policy and ads policy, we're offering a new tool that makes it easy for publishers and influencers to tag a marketer when they publish branded content. Publishers and influencers must use this tag for all branded content shared on Facebook."


What does it mean?...
