Visual storytelling is the best way a brand can share with consumers about who they are, what they do and how it relates. In a world where video has steadily become the most consumed content across all media platforms, it is advised to give a visual portrayal of your brand through video. Not forgetting that it gives the ability to control the exact message being sent out and maximize impact.
With social media, consumers want their content to be delivered to them in a fast and efficient way—and on the device of their choice. Videos are the perfect option when it comes to consuming content fast, easy and on varied platforms. Videos not only are a great asset to stick out on social media, but they also increase general engagement and interactivity between a brand and their consumer-base.
Regardless of the brand, there are three signature videos needed. These include:
- a testimonial or case study video
- a video that explains the brand and why a consumer should care
- a personality video – consumers want to relate to the people behind a brand. In doing so they find similarities and develop a relationship.
Testimonial or Case Study
These videos are visual proof of what your brand can do for your target audience. Through a testimonial video, former and current clients are able to prove through their words that you are the best in the industry. With an actual consumer’s endorsement, your brand has the opportunity to get a more meaningful message out that will relate to potential new customers.
Explainer Video
A video introducing your brand and what you stand for resonates with a consumer in a way that text just cannot. Show the world who you are, and why your brand should matter to them. When creating an explainer video, keep these three things in mind:
- This is the time to show consumers the true people behind the brand.
- This is the time to stick to your brand’s strength.
- Give your viewers a reason to continue watching. Incorporate images, graphics, presentations and more.
Personality – Show the Lifestyle
A great brand does not just sell products—they sell a lifestyle. For example, think of Nike. Yes, they sell athletic gear, but it their ads they don’t just display their latest products. They portray them in someone’s life. Pushing them to be stronger, faster, better overall. Your videos shouldn’t just promise consumers that they’ll be superior with your products or services. It should show them. In doing so, consumers will gain a sense of belonging in your brand’s lifestyle and strengthen their relationship with the brand.
