Facebook Video Drives Huge Brand Engagement
Forget the old conventional wisdom that most page posts on Facebook contain images and think links, at least in terms of volume.
In terms of interactions, video posts performed the strongest, followed by photos.
Quintly said in its study:
We found out that “moving pictures” are driving the highest interaction on Facebook. Videos, the highest engagement driver, are followed by image posts, which performed second best–with an increasing trend throughout the year.
As Timelines are getting more crowded every day, it is essential to choose the correct post type to unlock the potential your posts have.
The stats we analyzed underline the relevance of attention-grabbing images and video in social media strategies once again.

Facebook Video Ads Taking On YouTube
FACEBOOK VIDEO ADS: a game changer
Facebook is stepping up it’s video ad game in a big way. The social media giant has announced advertisers will only be charged if a video is viewed for at least 10 seconds vs being charged after a video would auto-play in the newsfeed for at least 3 seconds.
This, compared to YouTube‘s 30-second rule has recently resulted in Facebook video ads getting way more views vs those published on YouTube.
Facebook insists its video ads provide value the moment they’re displayed, but the platform has opened up to the 10-second option because of feedback from advertising partners. Facebook notes Nielsen research proving that video ads have value even if consumers view Facebook video ads for less than 10 seconds — noting powerful brand awareness increases.
Facebook Cranking Up The Heat On YouTube – Marketing Land
The massive potential for online video advertising growth has made competition more stiff among key players in recent months. Other social platforms are also starting to move heavily into video advertising too: Twitter recently announced its own video ad product, and will only charge advertisers if 100% of the video appears on a user’s screen for a minimum of 3 seconds.
BizBOXTV Video Advertising clients have found success on both Facebook & YouTube / Google Display Network platforms, depending on their advertising objectives and goals. As the digital world continues to evolve, we keep our fingers on the pulse to ensure our clients continue to stay ahead of the game & capture the market.

Advertisers Flock To Facebook Video
Videos on Facebook now get 4 billion daily views, almost four times the figure from a year ago, according to Fortune. And it’s working for online publishers too: Buzzfeed had 500 million video views on Facebook in April, while Mic saw 33 million views from 8 videos in just two months.
That kind of reach will increase Facebook video’s appeal to marketers. A recent survey by marketing firm Mixpo, charted for us by BI Intelligence, indicates Facebook is quickly becoming the choice of platform for video marketers. Of the 125 US marketing and media executives surveyed, 87% said they plan to run an ad campaign on Facebook’s video platform this year. That’s 24 percentage points up from the people who said they ran a video ad campaign on Facebook last year. Facebook’s video platform is also more popular than YouTube video now, according to the survey.
Since the survey only asked 125 people, the results should be taken with a grain of salt. And YouTube still owns a wider video creator base, a stronger copyright policy, and a more established revenue-sharing model than Facebook, BI Intelligence says. But it’s also proof that advertisers will only continue to spend more on social video, with Facebook video being a major recipient of their spending.

Businesses Flock To Facebook Video
Odds are that you don’t need stats to prove video is exploding on Facebook, however. Just scroll through your own News Feed. Video is everywhere.
The amount of video posted from people and brands to Facebook’s News Feed increased 260% year-over-year, Facebook recently reported.
With the proliferation of video on Facebook, it’s becoming increasingly important for businesses to incorporate it into their marketing strategies.
Facebook Media reported that more than half of all daily Facebook visitors in the U.S. watch at least one video a day. In fact, the number of video posts per person increased 94% in the U.S. over the past year. Further, 76% of Facebook users say they use the social network to discover videos.
Consumers want video, and Facebook has become the platform of choice for watching and, more importantly, sharing.
Brands are now posting to Facebook directly, rather than sharing YouTube videos on Facebook.
According to Socialbakers, brands posted more videos to Facebook than they did on YouTube last December.
Businesses don’t need gigantic advertising budgets to get videos in front of the right audience either. Facebook makes it easy for businesses to target nearby and relevant customers (so you aren’t paying to promote your videos to people that wouldn’t use your product) and track viewership as a tool for increased ROI
