According to the report, the most important objective of an effective online video marketing strategy is to increase brand awareness. Other key objectives include: Increase online engagement, improve customer education, and increase leads generated.
85% of companies that found value in use online video marketing as a strategy. The remaining 15% are struggling to achieve success with video marketing.
What are the most challenging obstacles to video marketing success? According to Ascend2, lack of an effective strategy is the most challenging obstacle to video marketing success according to 48% of those surveyed. Other challenging obstacles include: Lack of compelling content, inadequate video budget, and lack of production resources.
About half of the marketers surveyed consider customer testimonials, explainer or tutorial videos, and demonstration videos the most effective types of online video content used. However, they were also asked, “What are the most difficult types of video content to create?” Customer testimonials and project reviews/case studies topped that chart.
Online video marketing effectiveness is increasing for 87% of respondents, with 43% saying the increase is significant.

Instagram Video Ads – Coming Soon
Instagram Video Ads – Coming Soon
Instagram has announced big changes to its advertising platform, meaning you’re likely about to start seeing longer Instagram video ads from businesses and brands of all sizes.
Instagram Video Ads can now be 30 seconds long, up from the regular 15-second limit, and are also able to use landscape photo and video following Instagram’s recent lifting of the square format restriction.
Instagram video ads can now be posted in landscape mode to support the app’s recent format update. By increasing the video length to allow for 30-second creative, Instagram says the move will “give ads a more cinematic feel.”
Longer Instagram video formats show how seriously the social media platform’s parent company, Facebook, is taking video advertising in order to compete against YouTube and premium video ad networks. Also, as part of Instagram’s new video ad push, brands will be able to target their videos to specific groups of consumers, just like they can on Facebook.
Instagram claims it’s video ads are working by mentioning some case studies. Deals marketer Gilt Groupe saw an 85% increase in shopping app installs after running a video ad campaign that promoted downloads, and game maker Kabam got people to spend unusually high amounts of time in its Marvel Contest of Champions app.
“People come to Instagram for visual inspiration, and video advertising on Instagram has the power to touch, inspire and move people,” Instagram said in a blog post. “Instagram video ads have proven to drive strong branding results—97% of measured campaigns on Instagram have generated significant lifts in ad recall.

Use Marketing Videos at each stage of the buying cycle
It’s been proven many times over, regardless of what industry you are in, marketing videos are valuable at each stage of the buying cycle.
Stage 1: You Get Me
The purpose of this stage is establishing empathy with the buyer, showing you know what they’re going through. Useful videos include educational series, thought leadership pieces, curated lists, and promotional clips.
Stage 2: Decision Criteria
At this stage you want the customer to have a meaningful interaction with your brand. Create a newsletter, influencer series, on-demand webinar, or product tour to get shoppers involved in a more meaningful way. Customer testimonials are also persuasive.
Stage 3: Assess Buying Options
Once your buyer is interested, use video to show key differentiators between your brand and the competition. Explainer videos, FAQs, meet-the-team tours, and case studies all help show critical differences in your brand’s value.
Stage 4: Rationalize or Justify Purchase
Just because the shopper has made a purchase doesn’t mean the journey is over. Now is the time to provide a little extra to create brand loyalty. Create training and how-to videos, and show passionate brand advocates. Promote user-generated content and make video product user guides.

Online Video Marketing: Quick Tips To Get Started
When it comes to marketing, online video is it right now. It’s the post type Facebook marketers are willing to spend the most on, and it’s getting incredible engagement when posted natively on the platform.
Now is an exciting time to be marketing with video because it generates great traffic, but hasn’t been so overdone so as to be passé.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence about whether or not you should get into video, let me encourage you… you should.
Earlier this year, Hubspot reported, “Last year the amount of online video from people and brands in Facebook’s News feed increased 3.6X year-over-year.”
Online video marketing is just getting started. Brands who want to remain relevant in the digital space must be willing to adopt online video marketing.
It doesn’t have to be expensive. And it doesn’t have to be difficult.
Here are some simple ways to get started:
1. Get the most bang for your buck by doing multiple online video edits for Facebook, Instagram, Vine, YouTube, or whatever other platforms you leverage.
2. Keep it short. While there’s no perfect length you should be hitting, shorter online videos will have higher completion rates and are more likely to be viewed. It’s less of a commitment.
3. Keep in mind that Facebook videos begin autoplaying on silent. Create a marketing video that has closed captions and attention-grabbing images to get users to unmute and continue watching.
4. Publish regularly. Plan ahead. Create an editorial calendar. Have someone take ownership. The more often you publish quality marketing content, the more likely you will come to be seen as someone worth paying attention to.
5 Maximize Your Efforts With online video marketing analytics.
Finally, once you’ve started publishing some online video content, it’s critical that you follow up with analytics. Learn what’s working and what’s not. Then use information learned for creating your next projects.
Facebook, for example, will tell you…
- How many views your marketing video received
- Where people dropped off
- The average duration of online video viewed, and more….If I were to guess the main lesson most people learn through analytics, it’s this: don’t do intro sequences – cut to the chase!

Video Advertisers: Your Audience is on Mobile
Back in 2011, only 6% of YouTube views came from mobile devices. But, things have changed dramatically since then. YouTube views coming from mobile devices jumped to 25% in 2012, rose to 40% in 2013, and increased to 50% in 2014. Today, more than half of YouTube views and 65% of Facebook video views occur on mobile devices.
So, where and when can you reach Millennials? Well, as we learned a couple of weeks ago, you should probably try to be in the right place at the right during one of the micro-moments when they check their smartphones 150 times a day. Yep, whether you start with mobile or your start with Millennials, you end up in the same place.
In October 2014, Google and Ipsos asked 1,519 smartphone owners aged 18- to 34-years-old to keep detailed accounts of all of their online and offline video activity over 24 hours. Respondents had to access video via an app, so the study was limited to Millennials who owned a smartphone in 2014, But that still covered 81% of individuals age 18 to 34. The research found that smartphones were the top device to reach 98% of those Millennials, higher than tablets or desktops. The research also revealed that watching video on a smartphones was less distracting and disruptive for respondents, compared to watching video on a TV. Watching videos was the sole activity for 53% of the mobile video sessions.
Now, home wasn’t the only place Millennials were watching mobile video last year. 34% of mobile video minutes were watched while people were out and about. People watching digital video outside the home were also 1.8x more likely than average to be meaningfully engaged because they were likely to be watching video for active purposes, such as looking for information or exploring a passion. While marketers traditionally sought Baby Boomers’ attention in their living rooms, sitting in front of a television, mobile video consumption by Millennials has changed that dramatically.
Since the research was conducted a year ago, YouTube reports that users are spending more time per session watching videos. On mobile, the average viewing session is now more than 40 minutes, up more than 50% year-over-year. The number of hours people spent watching videos on mobile is up 100% year-over-year. And YouTube’s mobile revenue from advertising is up 2x year-over-year.
So, why did advertisers finally jump on YouTube’s bandwagon? Well, they were probably jumping on the mobile video bandwagon – and YouTube as well as Facebook have both benefited from this trend in the digital video marketing business. Advertisers realize that Millennials are twice as likely to be focused on the content while watching a mobile video as they are while viewing it via a television screen. Mobile truly is the first screen when it comes to this demographic.
This was validated by more research conducted by Google and Ipsos in February 2015. They wanted to see how this enthusiasm for mobile video translated for brands. So, they surveyed U.S. consumers who watch video on various devices. And this year’s research found that people who view videos on their smartphones are 1.4X as likely to watch ads as those who view videos on TVs or desktop computers.

Why You Can’t Ignore Video Marketing
It’s the worst kept secret on the internet, but video marketing is one of the best ways for businesses to connect with customers. In virtually every situation, video marketing proves to be more powerful and engaging than written content. Despite this, so many businesses fail to give it a second look. Instead, they proceed with a head-down mentality that emphasizes ‘doing things the way they’ve always been done.’ Don’t be that business.
Valuable Reasons to Focus on Video
Your marketing strategy doesn’t have to focus solely on video to be successful – that’s impractical and unsustainable. However, you should focus on diversifying your existing content strategy by naturally incorporating video whenever and wherever you can. Here are a handful of the top reasons to consider doing so:
1. Increased ROI
If you ask businesses that currently focus on video marketing what benefit they enjoy the most, almost every company will respond with an answer that revolves around increased ROI.
2. Better Engagement
But what’s so engaging about video content? Well, it’s a combination of multiple factors. Primarily, video capitalizes on the human brain’s craving for visual stimulation. When combined with audio, that stimulation leaves a much more powerful impact on the viewer. This impression often leads the viewer to pursue a specific action in the seconds, minutes, or hours after watching.
3. Flexibility
From a marketer’s perspective, video marketing is preferred because of the flexibility it affords the creative team. There are virtually endless options when it comes to creating different types of videos and disseminating them through a variety of channels.
Some of the most popular forms of video content include customer testimonials, product reviews, new product previews/trailers, video blogs, news features, social media content (Snapchat, Instagram, Vine, etc.), interviews, behind-the-scenes tours, whiteboard videos, and more.
4. Ability to Reach All Demographics
It’s no surprise that video connects best with the younger demographic that’s been raised on YouTube, DVDs, and streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. However, it’s not just millennials that relate to video marketing. Unlike other forms of online content, which must be tailored to fit dozens of unique customer profiles, video marketing has a tendency to work well across the board.
Young, old, first class, middle class…you name it. Everyone connects with video. While you certainly can’t forget about customer profiles when creating video content, you also don’t have to stress over it.
Internet users of all ages will naturally flock to video when given the choice between written content and video alternatives.
Invest in Video Marketing Today
While it may feel like it, you haven’t missed out on the video marketing opportunity…yet. There’s still time to build your internet presence and reach the millions of users that watch online videos on a daily basis. Consider these points and begin formulating your strategy today!

Want TV-Level Ad Reach? Facebook & YouTube Video
The shift of ad dollars from TV to online video has been largely impeded by one factor: reach. Until now.
The coupling of YouTube’s intent-driven user behavior with Facebook’s “Super Bowl-sized” daily reach presents the largest threat to TV to date. The online video narrative has been fueled by the pitting of YouTube and Facebook against one another. Sure, drama makes for better ratings, but rather than succumb to this supposed conflict, we executed systematic A/B tests of identical creative and targeting on both platforms to set the story straight and provide deep insights into the respective strengths of video advertising on YouTube and Facebook.
The results prove that the two platforms serve different but very complementary roles. The combination of video advertising on both YouTube and Facebook is the key to dismantling TV’s media spend dominance.
YouTube’s TrueView ads on average deliver a much higher view rate and video completion rate (up to four times higher) than Facebook. The ability to target contextually for ad placements (e.g., by channel or video) has a measurable impact on video completion rates and audience retention—we’ve seen 1.5 times higher view rates when using placement targets (targeting specific channels) compared to standard affinity targets. YouTube also offers a lower cost per view in an apples-to-apples comparison of TrueView-style :30 plus (or whole ad) views. Sure, Facebook’s advertised :03 views are cheap, but most advertisers are rightfully skeptical about the impact of such a short exposure.
Facebook video ads, on the other hand, drive clicks and higher clickthrough rates than YouTube, and overall they lead to higher user engagement rates in simple interactions (likes, shares), given the social nature of the platform. While TrueView offers several interactive elements like info cards and companion banners, Facebook’s interactive elements are simpler and easier to understand, and take up significantly more screen real estate, making it easier for users to interact.
Google and Facebook offer near-perfect cross-device user data (and targeting capabilities), which is essential as mobile video viewing keeps growing. As marketers segment budget across platforms and devices, the cost efficiencies of each platform are important to understand. On Facebook, mobile ads tend to be cheaper than desktop (75 percent the cost in our tests). On YouTube, mobile ads are more expensive than desktop (130 percent the cost). Cost per view on mobile is comparable between Facebook and YouTube, and for clickthrough rate-driven campaigns, 30-second assets on mobile perform best across both platforms.
The reach of Facebook plus the long watch times driven by intent on YouTube equals better engagement and campaign performance when both platforms are used in combination. It’s an equation that will prove to even the most TV-loyal advertisers that they’re resisting budget allocation to a supremely effective medium.
Cross-platform online video campaigns—with the reach of TV and the engagement of digital—are the future of brand advertising.

71% Marketers: Video Converts Best
A new study based on feedback from marketers, confirms that video has been found to convert better than other forms of digital content, with 71% saying online video performs better for them than text and images.
86% of those surveyed in the report from Vidyard and Ascend2, “Video Content Marketing: Identifying Metrics and Measuring Impact” also confirmed that they were seeing very positive engagement rates from using video, while 69% of respondents indicated that video had been a good vehicle for lead generation.
95% of respondents to the survey confirmed that video was an important and valuable form of marketing content. The overwelming majority indicated that video was far more important now than it had ever been, with another 32% acknowledging it was somewhat more important. None of those polled (from a pool that were using video as part of their marketing campaigns) said that video wasn’t important to them.
How well does video perform compared to other types of content at generating conversions (sales, downloads etc) for organizations? 71% confirmed that video was better at driving conversions than other type of content, with a further 27% indicating that it held its own. Only 2% of those polled said that video wasn’t performing as well as it should for them.
Brands and companies that are using a combination of self-hosting, and exposure on other websites, like YouTube, are seeing the greatest Return on Investment (ROI) for their video marketing efforts. Only 11% were choosing to host videos exclusively on their own properties, while 43% were exclusively posting content to external platforms like YouTube and Vimeo.
In terms of ROI, publication to a brand-owned property, plus an external portal such as YouTube, provided the best investment return, particularly if there were 51+ videos being created per year.

Video In Marketing: Why Wouldn’t You?
Those who read my “stuff” as the late George Carlin would refer to it, know I don’t usually use such direct, conversational titles. I write very conversationally, however I am not one prone to using that tone when it comes to titles of my articles.
But in this case, after toying with a more traditional approach, I pretty much said: the heck with it and went with Using Video In Marketing: Why Wouldn’t You? because it’s exactly how I feel. Consider just some of the following stats, courtesy of CodeFuel, when it comes to video then ask yourself: Why wouldn’t you?
– 70% of marketing professionals report that video converts better than any other medium.
– The average internet user spends 88% more time on a website with video than without.
– 64% of consumers are more likely to buy a product after watching a video about it.
– Using the word “Video” in an email subject line boosts open rates by 19%, click-through rates by 65%, and reduces unsubscribe rates by 26%.
– 69% of smartphone users say videos are a perfect solution for smartphone viewing as it offers a quick way for consumers to grasp an overview of a product.
I could go on, trust me. But I will stop here.
So, if you’re a marketer and you’re not using video as part of your overall integrated marketing endeavors: Why Wouldn’t You?
Well before you answer, let me tell you if you are not using video, you’re not alone. Here’s one more stat to chew on: Only 24% of brands are using online video to market to consumers .
Big And Small
As for the 24% of brands who are using video, you can count both large and small brands among them. The CEO of Gempacked, Cyrus Nemani says “we use video marketing to give tutorials on how to use the different jewelry making components that we sell.”
One of the larger brands is one you may have heard of before. They’re the ones with the golden arches. I asked Matt Biespiel, McDonald’s Senior Director Global Brand Development how they incorporate video into their overall content strategy.
“McDonald’s was one of the first companies to build a brand and drive our business with television advertising,” he told me. “As viewing habits evolved, we also evolved our strategy to continue being part of the conversation. Today, we look at creating unique video content across multiple platforms.”
He added that the in-store experience is benefitting from video, too telling me that many restaurants are shifting to digital menu boards, giving them an exciting opportunity for video storytelling at the point of sale.
Biespiel warns that video is not one size fits all. “Marketers need to understand that one size does not fit all. Marketers can’t expect to cut a 30-second TV commercial and use that exact edit on a YouTube pre-roll. It won’t work. At McDonald’s, we look for the idea first, then customize the content across multiple channels.”
