Industry-wide studies on consumer behavior from the Cohley Insights team.
When dynamic visuals and audio join forces in one medium, you’ve got yourself the holy grail of storytelling: video. In fact, according to a report from HubSpot Research, more than 50% of consumers want to see videos from brands - more than any other type of content. Despite the prevalence of video in the marketing world, running video ads is a strategy that most marketers still haven’t cracked.
Video might have been introduced by your creative team as an awareness play, focused on expensive production and little analysis to show for it. But the value of video is that it can be produced cost-effectively and used in an actionable, measurable way. In fact, we often find that expensive, professionally shot videos don’t perform as well as user-generated selfie video testimonials when it comes to ads.
The fact of the matter is, if you’re not running video ads, you’re behind. But even if are already incorporating video as part of your larger marketing strategy, are you optimizing your ads with the best performing content? Have you A/B tested different types of video formats and messaging? Truth is, how your videos will perform varies depending on your brand and there’s really only one way to find out what performs best…TESTING!
Between unboxings, video selfies, professional videography, GIFs, and boomerangs, it’s hard to know what actually drives the best results. That’s why we’re constantly building out tools to help brands save valuable time, money, and energy when it comes to generating different videos formats at scale.
Our Video Campaigns give brands the opportunity to work with Neemos, standard influencers, and professional content creators to streamline the content generating process.
