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....

How To Integrate Video Into A Robust Content Marketing Strategy | Business 2 Community | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Video is powerful because it shows there are people behind your business, which is important for building a strong brand that people can relate to. But how can you integrate it into your content marketing strategy effectively?

 

Know Your Audience

 

Before you can put together a video that will be relevant to your audience, you need to know precisely who that audience is. It’s important not to try to appeal to everyone – instead, figure out your archetypal customer. Two tools to help you do this are Sally Hogshead's 7 triggers of fascination and a simple guide to creating a customer persona.

Ten Great Examples of Video Content Marketing

Ten Great Examples of Video Content Marketing | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Everyone likes to watch videos on the web.

According to official statistics from YouTube, they have ” over a billion users — almost one-third of all people on the Internet — and every day people watch hundreds of millions of hours on YouTube and generate billions of views.”  The statistics portal Statista notes “As of July 2015, more than 400 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute, up from 300 hours per minute in November 2014.”

Wacky cats, wacky stunts, cute cats, cute kids, offensive comedy, and R-rated content are some of the most popular methods to drive traffic. But if someone is trying to promote a product, service, personality or other business, traffic isn’t always the most important metric. Reaching the right audience with the right message becomes the goal. Cute babies might get clicks, but not business.

Audiences are bombarded by words and messages. In a short attention world addicted to entertainment, videos serve as great vehicles for public relations. But videos can be expensive and time-consuming to produce. To discover what works, an all-star panel of publicists and marketers gave us their best advice and, along with me, selected a few of their favorites.  Here’s how to gain market share, reach audiences and achieve some of your public relations goals using video in a very competitive world.
