4 Ways to Create Engaging Video Content For Advertising

November 18, 2021 | 136 views

4_Ways_to_Create
Video content is more important than ever from a marketing perspective, but the high profile status it has attained also brings challenges with it.

The main hurdle to overcome is that of creating compelling clips that outshine the competition in a marketplace that is already overflowing with attention-grabbing content.

With all that in mind, here are just a handful of strategies that will empower you when making promotional video content for your business or brand.

Use the right software tools
The video editing tools you choose will form the foundation of your content creation strategy, so it pays to give this plenty of thought and not to just stick with the same old package you have been using for years.

For example, leveraging collaborative video editing software could take your projects to the next level, not only in terms of creativity but also when it comes to compressing cycles of work.

If you can have multiple team members collaborating on the same project in unison, you can hit deadlines and capture the zeitgeist with your content, rather than seeing viral trends pass you by.

Choose types of content that serve your advertising aims
The extent to which your video content is able to engage and connect with your target audience will partly be determined by the format it takes. As such you have to choose wisely and avoid producing clips that don’t gel with your marketing goals.

For example, if your business makes a product that has practical applications, you could gain views and shares by making tutorial content that explains how best to use it.

On the other hand, if your business offers services within a particular industry, then you may earn more traction with videos that explain a particular aspect of the niche you occupy.

Both of these types of content provide value to viewers as well as being promotional, and can also remain relevant for long periods. The more evergreen your video content, the bigger the potential ROI.

Extrapolate ideas from your existing content
Working out what video content will hit home with your ideal demographic can feel like it involves a lot of guesswork, and a lot of risk-taking as a result.

However, you don’t have to go all-in on a concept for a video without knowing if it will hold water, because it is more than likely that you already have tried-and-tested ideas that have proven themselves and are ripe for video adaptation.

Google’s and Facebook’s Grip on Digital Advertising Markets

Article | June 22, 2022

Since July 2019, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has been conducting an extensive investigation of the digital advertising market. In its preliminary report on the investigation, the CMA expresses concerns that Google and Facebook have grown so “large and have such extensive access to data that potential rivals can no longer compete on equal terms.” 2019 marked the year in which digital advertising finally took the crown from TV and other legacy media both in the US and worldwide. Estimates point out that digital ads now account for 51 percent of the almost $600 billion spent globally on advertising, a percentage that should only rise with time.

Alex Webb: More kids with smartphones spells advertising bonanza

Article | July 6, 2022

The revelation that, by the age of seven, 53% of British kids will own a mobile phone, will come as good news to one group in particular: advertisers. By the time U.K. youngsters are 11, the ownership ratio reaches a whopping 90%, according to a report published last week by the research consultancy Childwise. And as the penetration of smartphone usage rises, it creates more opportunity for advertisers to get in front of young eyeballs. Parents need to get clued up if they want to stop that from happening. For now, advertising targeted at children has been slower to migrate online than in the broader industry. Whereas more than half of the world's $614 billion of ad spending is now online, less than a third of the outlay for ads targeting children is digital, according to a 2019 study by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

DeepIntent and Roku Research Reveals 79% of Adults 50+ Stream, Are More Amenable to Advertising Than the General Population

PR Newswire | May 16, 2023

DeepIntent, the leading healthcare advertising technology company built to influence better patient health and business outcomes, revealed new research that illuminates the streaming habits and impact of pharmaceutical advertising on adults over the age of 50. In partnership with Roku, Inc., DeepIntent shared the research at the company's second annual Innovating with Intent event focused on the future of connected TV (CTV) in the pharmaceutical industry. Because people are more likely to be diagnosed with conditions as they age, older patients are naturally an important demographic for pharmaceutical advertisers. Surveying more than 3,000 U.S. adults across every age group, DeepIntent and Roku dispelled the common misconception that older patients aren't as easy to reach on CTV as younger audiences. Marking the fourth time DeepIntent has surveyed patients to better understand their feelings toward pharmaceutical advertising and how it factors into their health and wellness journeys, the research found that 79% of adults 50 and over use streaming services. The research also found that 66% prefer advertising-based video-on-demand (AVOD) services, which means that these so-called "silver streamers" are even more amenable to advertising than the general population. Continuing to grow in popularity, CTV enables pharmaceutical brands to reach this demographic with messaging that's both relevant and privacy-safe. However, just 23% of patients 50 and over find the pharmaceutical ads they see on streaming services relevant to their lives, compared with 40% of patients under 50. "Pharma advertisers don't always use data-driven programmatic targeting on CTV to its full potential. As a result, silver streamers feel ads aren't relevant, which in turn makes them less likely to inspire action," said Marcella Milliet Sciorra, Chief Marketing Officer at DeepIntent. "DeepIntent was founded with the core belief that advertising technology can measurably improve patient outcomes, and our research highlights a massive opportunity for pharmaceutical brands to do that by reaching their most coveted demographic with relevant messaging on CTV." "People 50 and over are the primary audience for many pharma brands, who may not realize that this demographic is really driving streaming growth," said Eric Lloyd, Head of Industry, Health, at Roku. "There is a tremendous opportunity to reach people over 50 in streaming environments, which offer much more than traditional TV in terms of impacting the patient journey and driving script lift. The survey results only confirmed that it's paramount for pharma advertisers to capitalize on this paradigm shift." Conducted between March 9 and 16, the survey also found: 77% of patients 50 and over have a diagnosed condition 49% of patients 50 and over view relevant advertising positively 7% of patients 50 and over have made an appointment to see a healthcare provider (HCP) after seeing a pharmaceutical ad, compared with 21% of patients under 50 96% of cord-cutters 50 and over are happy with their decision to cancel their cable/satellite TV service and more To learn more about DeepIntent, visit www.deepintent.com/.
