A few years ago, a Microsoft study concluded that the average human attention span is just 8 seconds—shorter than a goldfish’s. Shorter attention spans make visual content, especially video marketing, especially relevant. Whether it’s creating engaging storytelling or improving the reach of social media platforms, video marketing is a pivotal tool to capture attention, drive traffic, and boost conversions. It allows brands to connect with audiences on a deeper level, conveying messages with authenticity and impact.

But video marketing is always evolving, with new technologies and trends – making it hard for even savvy marketeers to keep up. At Articulate, we’ve been helping brands stand out with video marketing for over 10 years. Building on this experience, we’ve summarized our insights into what makes a great video marketing strategy that actually works.

What is video marketing?

Video marketing involves using video content to attract and retain customers by promoting a product, service, or brand. It encompasses various strategies and forms of video, such as advertising campaigns, corporate videos aimed at strengthening brand image and credibility or educational videos that provide valuable information and insights to your audience.

This marketing strategy can include various digital channels and formats, such as a website, blog posts, social media platforms, and programmatic advertising. Video content’s versatility allows brands to engage with their audience more effectively, making it a vital component of today's marketing strategies.

It is important to point out that effective video marketing is not just about promoting products - it is about creating informative content that guides the brand persona through their buying journey, assists in decision-making, and nurtures long-term relationships.


Why video marketing matters

Video marketing is crucial for businesses because of its significant impact on engagement and conversion rates. The average person spends 100 minutes each day watching online videos. In terms of notoriety, brand messages are perceived more effectively in video format, with a retention rate of over 90%, compared to just 10% for text.

Videos increase the chances of a visitor staying on your site by 80%, and pages with videos are 53% more likely to appear on the first page of Google, making it an excellent way to improve SEO. These two data points are obviously connected: the longer someone stays on a certain page, the higher the likelihood of ranking higher for search engine queries. And, of course, good video marketing ensures that visitors stay longer.

Videos are highly shareable, enhancing brand visibility and driving organic reach.

As for product discovery, 7 out of 10 customers prefer to learn about a product or service by watching a video. Videos are also an incredible sales tool, with 70% of consumers indicating that online videos influence their brand or product choices.

Some brands have excelled at video marketing. GoPro famously encourages customers to share videos made with their cameras and republishes their content. This strategy increases visibility, conveys trust and, crucially, shows customer satisfaction and product quality.

Types of video marketing

From motion graphics to interviews or corporate events, there are several video formats that your brand can leverage to achieve specific results. Here’s a breakdown of the main ones.

Motion graphics

Motion graphics are dynamic, visual animations. It allows companies to demonstrate complex products accessibly, highlighting statistics and data engagingly. For instance, they can help in oil & gas marketing by explaining sustainability projects in a clear, engaging way. They can also be used in healthcare marketing to explain complex interventions or medical concepts to a wider audience. For tech companies, motion graphics can be a great solution for demo videos or tutorials. Even centuries-old banking brands can leverage this format to share their story when stock footage is not available or relevant.

Challenges of video marketing

Video marketing has become an essential tool for companies of all sizes worldwide. However, creating and implementing an effective video strategy can present several challenges.

1. Keeping videos short and informative

Online audience attention span is short, so it is crucial to keep videos concise and straight to the point. Short-form videos lasting less than 90 seconds manage to retain a viewer rate of 50%, while long videos can lose the audience's attention and lead to low engagement.

What to do: Set a clear goal for each video before you start recording. Edit your videos ruthlessly, removing any unnecessary scenes or irrelevant information. Use visuals, such as graphics and subtitles, to complement your message and keep your audience engaged.

2. Simplifying complex topics

Communicating complex ideas clearly and concisely in a video can be a challenge. The goal is to present enough information and keeping it simple so that everyone in the audience can understand.

What to do: Break down complex topics into smaller, easier-to-digest videos. Use simple language and avoid technical jargon. Incorporate practical examples and visual demonstrations to illustrate your points.

3. Keeping videos up to date

Information can become outdated quickly, and it's important to ensure that your videos reflect the latest trends, data, and practices in your sector.

What to do: Create an editorial calendar for your videos and plan updates. Monitor trends in your sector and update your videos as necessary. Encourage audience feedback and use it to improve your videos over time.

4. Creating a robust creation and validation process

Producing high-quality videos can be a time-consuming and expensive process, and it is important to have an efficient system to manage the workflow, from conception to publication. Without it, video creation can become disorganized and inefficient, leading to delays and cost overruns.

What to do: Develop a clear process for video creation, including steps for brainstorming, scripting, filming, editing, and publishing. Use project management tools such as our Articulate App to keep track of the schedule and budget.

5. Not measuring success

Without clear and consistent metrics to measure video success, it is hard to know if a video marketing strategy is working. Key performance indicators (KPIs) provide a way to measure progress and performance against specific targets, by evaluating the success of an organization, employee, or process in achieving their intent.

What to do: Set clear goals for your videos, such as increasing brand awareness, generating leads or boosting sales. Choose relevant KPIs - views, engagement, conversions and return on investment (ROI).

Video marketing trends


These are some of the most relevant video marketing trends at the moment.  

1. Video storytelling  

The power of storytelling has advanced towards a new and more real perspective. Telling the story of the company, the journey of creating some product, or introducing people working for the brand makes consumers feel closer and connected to it.  

If the intention is to increase the company's popularity and the number of online shares, consider investing in videos that tell the story of the consumers themselves, how they are having a positive experience with that brand, and how they use a certain type of service or product. 

2. AI in video marketing 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the creation and distribution of video content. AI tools can build videos from scratch, produce human-sounding audio, and improve image and sound quality. For those uncomfortable in front of the camera, AI can be a great help. For example, you can script a simple video tutorial and have an avatar deliver it. AI can handle tasks such as transcription, translation, and captioning, saving you considerable time. Some tools even offer video dubbing and can automatically summarize or sequence long videos.


However, AI is no substitute for human creativity. Videos that rely heavily on AI can sound robotic and lack empathy, especially when dealing with sensitive, human topics. For example, YouTube uses AI to translate videos into various languages, but the nuances of human emotion and context may not always be accurately conveyed. While AI assists in analyzing the audience to create engaging content, the human touch remains irreplaceable for authenticity and emotional connection.

3. Immersive video experiences 

Immersive and interactive experiences are revolutionizing how we experience content, offering more realistic and engaging experiences than ever before.

Here are a few exciting ways to do so:

  • 360-degree videos. These videos provide a panoramic view, placing the person in the middle of the action, which is ideal for sports, concerts, and live events – they get a CTR rate of 1.5% compared to just 0.35% for the average ad

  • Augmented Reality (AR) videos. Augmented Reality enhances reality by overlaying virtual elements like objects and information, making it perfect for entertainment, education, and commerce. More than half (55%) of consumers find shopping with AR more entertaining, and 92% of Gen Z show a strong interest in AR-based shopping. 

  • Shoppable videos. Shoppable videos are one of the most effective ways to connect a consumer with a product. It is simple: users just click on play, watch the video, and decide when they want to be redirected to the brand’s page to buy what they have just watched. Shoppable videos have a direct and beneficial impact on sales - the CTR of interactive videos is 10x higher than passive videos.


4. Not so silent videos 

It has been a longstanding mantra that 85% of videos on social media are seen without sound. In response, many companies focus on a clear, yet silent message. However, that is changing. Thanks to AI, having someone narrating the video is becoming cheaper. Also, while most users scroll Instagram with the sound off, that’s not true for Instagram Stories, where 60% turn on the sound. Because of the rise of Reels and shared TikTok content, more users are now increasing the volume. TikTok, on the other hand, is a "sound on" platform, with 88% of users considering sound essential, and brands using TikTok's music seeing a 120% increase in awareness. 

 

5. Serialized content 

Content serialization is the practice of breaking down a larger narrative or subject into a series of shorter, interconnected videos. This approach not only keeps the audience engaged by creating anticipation for the next installment but also allows for deeper exploration of a topic without overwhelming the viewer in a single session.

Serialization matters because it enhances viewer retention and loyalty, as audiences are more likely to return for subsequent episodes if they are invested in the story or information being presented. It also provides opportunities for brands to build a narrative arc, create cliffhangers, and engage with their audience through feedback and discussion between episodes.

Take Nike's "Dream Crazier" campaign, which used a series of inspirational short films to highlight female empowerment in sports. This serialized content not only garnered over 100 million views, but also sparked global conversations and significantly boosted Nike's brand image​​.


6. Influencer marketing 

Influencer marketing is not new, but it is growing. People tend to buy products or services recommended by those they trust. Influencers can establish authentic relationships with their followers, making their recommendations extremely valuable. The diversity of influencers allows brands to create relevant and authentic content for different audience segments that foster brand awareness. 


7. Real-world experiences

Authenticity, sharing real-world experiences, and connecting on a more personal level, are highly valued. Also, social media algorithms are increasingly prioritizing live video content, which boosts the chances of these videos appearing in users’ feeds, expanding reach and engagement. Consider live Q&A sessions, product demonstrations, and tutorials, virtual events, and live streams.

5. Choose your marketing channels

Identify the platforms where your audience is most active, such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or your own website. Each platform has unique characteristics and audience behaviors. Using the right channels ensures your videos reach the intended audience, maximizing engagement and impact.


6. Define your visual style

Establishing a consistent visual style for your videos is crucial to creating a recognizable brand identity. Decide on the aesthetic elements that will characterize your videos, such as color schemes, typography, and visual motifs. Whether you opt for minimalist motion graphics, bold and colorful visuals, or a style full of dynamic scenes and people, ensure that this visual line aligns with your brand’s overall look and feel. Consistency in visual style helps to create a cohesive brand image and makes your content instantly recognizable to your audience.

Here is a list of possible visual styles to consider for your video marketing strategy:

These styles can be mixed and matched to suit the message and target audience of your video content.


7.   Set a Clear Production Calendar

Establish a detailed production calendar to plan and schedule all stages of your video production process. This includes pre-production tasks like scripting and storyboarding, production activities such as filming, and post-production steps like editing and testing. A well-structured calendar ensures that every phase is executed on time, keeping your project on track and within budget. By setting clear deadlines and milestones, you can manage resources effectively and avoid last-minute rushes that can compromise quality.


8.   Invest in Storyboards, Moodboards, and Scripts

Utilize storyboards, moodboards, and scripts to visually and narratively map out your video content before production begins.

  • Storyboards provide a frame-by-frame breakdown of your video, helping you visualize scenes and transitions.

  • Moodboards compile visual elements, colors, and styles that convey the desired look and feel of the video.

  • Scripts outline dialogue and key points, ensuring clarity and consistency in messaging.

Investing in these tools helps communicate your vision to the production team and reduces the risk of misalignment during shooting or editing.

9.   Produce, Edit, Test

Once pre-production is complete, proceed with the production phase, capturing high-quality footage according to your storyboard and script. After filming, move to editing, where you refine the video, add effects, music, and other elements to enhance the final product. Testing is crucial—review the video internally and with a small audience segment to gather feedback on clarity, engagement, and overall impact. This iterative process helps identify any issues and make necessary adjustments before the final release.

10.    Incorporate Calls to Action (CTAs)

Include clear and compelling calls to action in your videos to guide viewers towards the desired outcome, whether it's visiting your website, subscribing to your channel, or purchasing a product. CTAs can be embedded within the video content itself or added as overlays. Ensure that your CTAs are specific, actionable, and aligned with the overall goal of your video marketing campaign.


11. Adjust for different platforms

Tailor your video content to fit the specifications and best practices of each platform you plan to use. This includes considering aspect ratios, video lengths, and specific features like captions or interactive elements. For instance, vertical videos work best on Instagram and TikTok, while longer, horizontal videos are more suitable for YouTube and LinkedIn. By optimizing your videos for each platform, you can enhance viewer engagement and improve the overall performance of your marketing efforts.


12. Optimize videos for SEO

To ensure your videos reach a wider audience and rank higher in search results, optimizing them for SEO is crucial. Here are the key steps to follow:

  • Use Relevant Keywords: Incorporate relevant keywords in your video title, description, and tags to improve search visibility.

  • Create an Engaging Thumbnail: Use a compelling and high-quality thumbnail to attract clicks and improve click-through rates.

  • Write a Detailed Description: Include a comprehensive description with keywords, timestamps, and links to related content to provide context and improve ranking.

  • Add Closed Captions and Subtitles: Use accurate captions and subtitles to make your video accessible and help search engines understand your content.

  • Your Website: Embed videos on your website to increase engagement and provide valuable content directly to your visitors.

  • Your Blog Posts: Embed videos in your blog posts to enhance the content, provide visual interest, and increase time spent on your site.


14. Repurpose and Distribute Content

Maximize the reach of your videos by repurposing them for different formats and channels. For example, a long-form video can be broken down into shorter clips for social media, or key moments can be turned into GIFs or still images. Additionally, distribute your videos across multiple platforms, including your website, email newsletters, and social media, to reach a broader audience and increase engagement.

15.   Track video statistics

Monitor key metrics like views, engagement rates, click-through rates, and conversions. Use tools like Google Analytics, YouTube Analytics, and social media insights to gather data and to reach accurate conclusions.
