Video Ad Spending on Social Platforms Rising Fast
Ever since Facebook began selling autoplay video advertising in 2014, the other major social properties—Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat—have become equally aggressive at courting video marketers. As a result, social video spending is growing quickly, as explored in a new eMarketer report, “Video Ads in Social Media: With a Full Slate of Ad Products, the Social Properties Take Aim at TV.”
In a February 2016 survey from RBC Capital Markets and Advertising Age, 12% of US marketers had already purchased autoplay video ads on Facebook and an additional 57% were likely to in the next six months. Only 7% said they definitely would not buy Facebook autoplay ads.
In a study of its clients’ advertising activity on Facebook in North America, ad automation software company Nanigans found that spending on mobile video ads increased 26% between Q4 2015 and Q1 2016. For gaming advertisers in particular, 35% of mobile ad spend in Q1 2016 went to video. Video’s share of gaming companies’ mobile ad spend grew 122% between Q1 2015 and Q1 2016.

71% Of Marketers To Run Video Ads On Social Media This Year
70.8% of marketers are planning on running video ads on social media over the next 12 months, according to research by cloud-based video creation service Animoto, as reported by eMarketer.
Of the marketers planning to run video ads on social, the majority plan to do so on Facebook (65.8%), followed by YouTube (42.3%), Instagram (27.4%), Twitter (21.6%) and LinkedIn (10.3%).
The study highlights the emergence of video for Facebook. Previous research from December 2015 by market research firm Advertiser Perceptions showed marketers favoring YouTube for video ads (72%) compared to
Facebook (46%).
Video is becoming an increasingly important medium on mobile and social.
Social media platforms are going all in on video. Facebook updated its news feed algorithm to emphasize video, while both Facebook and Twitter have been vigorously promoting new live video streaming features on their platforms.
Video is also one of the most popular content types for mobile users, while consumers are watching digital ads on mobile at a fast-growing clip. Facebook received a whopping 84% of its ad revenue from mobile during the last quarter, and Google announced earlier this year that it is now serving more search queries on mobile than on desktop.
Facebook VP Nicola Mendelsohn predicted that the social media platform “will be definitely mobile” and “probably all video” in five years.
Marketers need to understand where their target audiences can be found, but if they’re on social and/or mobile, it’s a good bet that video messaging is an effective way to reach them.

Social Video – Big For Brands In 2016 💥
Social Video = Massive Marketing & Advertising Opportunity
First of all, let’s clarify what “Social Video” is.
Social Video = Social Media + Online Video Marketing & Advertising.
Essentially, creating video content that is designed for social media platforms such as:
Your Social videos need to be designed specifically for social networks. This is because social video appears in different ways on different social networks, and each network has a unique audience with different behaviours.
Many people confuse social video with viral videos, but there’s a massive difference. Social media videos may not get millions of views and can still be deemed a big success. For example: if your company sells something very niche, the story of how your business can help could be a big success with only 2000 views, if those views are by your exact target audience and/or generate leads.
Social video also is extremely unique in its ability to convey a powerful message to viewers, in a way that static forms of marketing & advertising can’t. Social media networks also favour online video in their algorithms, knowing this rich form of content is more appreciated by it’s users.
Businesses that don’t invest in social video very soon really do risk being left behind. In a recent survey by the Content Marketing Institute, over 73% of marketers reported using online video as a marketing tactic. 69% of businesses are already creating videos specifically for social media. In that same survey, almost 70% of businesses say their budgets for social online videos are increasing. It’s clear that companies are beginning to recognize the power of these videos. If you’re not investing in social video yet, your competitors probably are.
Some of the ways social video can drive results is via:
– increasing brand awareness
– generating leads
– increasing online sales (conversions)
– customer service/support, etc…
The ROI of social videos will depend on which way you choose to use it. Every business will have differing targets & goals when it comes to the use of social video. If your social media videos are being used for lead generation, leads generated through the video should be tracked. If social video is being used to sell a product via your website, sales & conversions should be tracked. If you’re looking for results beyond brand awareness, the key is to set specific goals and track the success of your social videos using widely available analytics. It’s only through tracking that you will learn what connects with your audience and what doesn’t, allowing you to refine your video strategy as you continue creating social videos in the future.
