In an earlier article, I shared perception from Helen Aboagye, CMO of Divido and former CMO of Imagen, on the creation of a company studio. As a follow-up, I requested her to share examples of companies which have shifted to utilizing considerably extra video (and doing so successfully). Under are a number of examples that Aboagye shared and the attention-grabbing method through which they’re utilizing video—in some circumstances as an alternative of conventional promoting—to drive engagement, curiosity, and gross sales.
Whitler: Within the prior article, you talked about how companies are shifting assets towards video, given the ability it has to have interaction and curiosity shoppers. Do you could have any examples you possibly can share?
Aboagye: Positive, there are a selection of corporations and industries which might be main within the video area.
TripAdvisor has just lately opted for a “media first” technique, even pulling cash from Google commercials to speculate extra in each on-line movies and tv commercials as a most popular technique of communication. Many inside the journey trade echo this pattern as effectively. Reserving.com has a powerful video presence throughout IGTV, that includes long-form movies that showcase visitor experiences, share extra about the advantages of itemizing your private home, showcase properties, take customers behind the scenes and extra.
One other trade that’s capitalizing on the expansion of video is the style trade, backed by shopper habits analysis from StyleShoots. We’re seeing main manufacturers implementing movies of their on-line technique to present a dwell, catwalk-like expertise of their clothes strains. Asos, Subsequent, Chanel and Burberry, to call a couple of, have a heavy emphasis on video of their on-line shopping for expertise. Due to this, extra persons are shopping for the merchandise, with much less returns. Some are even utilizing video in-store to exhibit outfits.
And, it isn’t simply advertising and marketing departments or consumer-facing industries which might be closely utilizing video of their operations. Within the power trade, for instance, extra video is being created with drones which might be going to locations people would reasonably keep away from, similar to offshore oil rigs – it’s a lot safer and environment friendly than sending individuals.
Video has additionally performed a serious position with information shops. Buzzfeed presently implements an efficient one-to-many initiative throughout common video websites and social channels – YouTube, Fb, and so forth. – and has constructed a whole mannequin round this with Tasty.
Human useful resource departments are more and more choosing video methods for worker and stakeholder communications, onboarding, recruitment methods, city halls, and so forth. For instance, Monzo makes use of video for his or her buyer onboarding, and Cimpress makes use of video to have interaction with and join its hundreds of staff globally.
One other illustration of the explosion in video is what we’ve seen and are seeing with model partnerships. For instance, the Porsche partnership with YouTube gamer Ali A to broaden its viewers attain noticed advert recall enhance from 30% to 96% and model consciousness rise from 5% to 26% by way of 6.2 million video views.
