What Is Video Marketing?

Video marketing uses video content to promote a brand, product, or service—primarily across digital platforms.

It’s not just about YouTube ads or repurposed webinars. Modern video marketing involves:

• Brand storytelling
• Explainer videos
• Customer testimonials
• Product demos
• Social shorts and reels

This is the decade of video marketing. If your content team hasn’t made it a priority, it’s time.

Benefits of Video Marketing

Better engagement than text or images
Higher conversion rates
Stronger social media presence

Did you know?
64% of consumers have made a purchase after watching a brand’s video on social media.

And thanks to SEO, optimized videos drive organic traffic like no other content type.

Choose Your Style

Documentary? Explainer? Humor? Animation?
Your video style should reflect your brand personality and audience preferences.

4. Partner with Influencers

5. Stay On Brand

Your colors, fonts, and tone should stay consistent across every video.
