How can you use video marketing to tell your brand’s story?
Video marketing is the number one way to engage an audience, generate leads, and increase sales for a business. If you’re not using video in your marketing, you’re missing out on an efficient and effective marketing tool to tell your brand’s story.
When you use video in marketing, you need to utilize emotion to inspire and engage your audience to connect with your product or service. Ultimately, you would tell your brand’s story or use a customer’s inspirational story to bridge between your brand and your audience’s emotional experience.
An example of using video marketing to create an emotional connection between brand and audience can be seen in this video for Blue Ventures by Gabriel Diamond.
Blue Ventures tells its brand’s story of being a marine conservation organization and how they help the planet by assisting rural communities, rebuilding fisheries, and restoring ocean life.
Now, what about using video to tell your brand’s story? What are the most important elements to include in your video? Let’s take some time and answer those questions. Plus, we’ll discuss how AudPop can help you create the most effective and eye-catching video for your marketing campaign.
What are the most important elements of telling a story through video?
It’s beneficial to consider what you’ll include in your video and how to implement those elements. Picturing the video and how you wish it to look and what you actually create may be miles apart. We’ve created a list of the most important elements, so you can make sure to produce the best video for your marketing.
- What’s your brand’s story? Thoroughly develop your brand’s story. There are many stories you could choose to tell, but make sure you find the one that will resonate with your audience in an emotionally compelling way.
- Scriptwriting is essential. You must hire the right scriptwriter to tell the story. Your audience needs to feel connected to your story, product, or service to want to buy your product or service or engage with your brand.
- Moving narrator and memorable music. Who will narrate your brand’s story? You’ll need a narrator that can actively pull people into your video, but make sure you’re showing your story, not just telling your story. Whether you have music in the forefront or background, your chosen music needs to be memorable.
- Get the right film crew and actors. Delivering high-quality and eye-catching footage is vital for your video to produce the desired results, so you need to hire the right film crew. If you’re including actors or actresses in your video, you’ll need to hire those that can pull off your brand’s inspirational story.
- Don’t forget your customers. Highlight how your brand’s products or services can help ease your audience’s lives, and that’s why they need you.
- Make sure your video tells your brand’s story. Make sure your video is recognizable as your brand’s story, with or without your brand’s name.
Ultimately, time and consideration need to be amply applied to the creation and production of your video.
Video is paramount in engaging your audience, but it can also backfire if you throw together a video without giving it proper attention and development. Don’t miss your chance to make an unforgettable impression on your audience.
