How Do I Create a Video Marketing Strategy?
Video marketing tactics have been around for some time. In the same vein as you wouldn't produce a TV ad and purchase Super Bowl airtime without due diligence and planning, creating a digital marketing video calls for a similar approach. A well-crafted video marketing strategy is your compass—it dictates your budget, deadlines, production methods, performance indicators, and more. Therefore, it's essential to have your strategy documented and finalized before embarking on video production.
Defining Your Video Objectives
The initial step is to clarify the aims of your video. You should ideally have content for every phase of the marketing funnel. Begin by deciding which funnel stage is the most critical to address:
- Awareness Stage: The viewer acknowledges a problem. Videos here should draw in new viewers and introduce them to your brand.
- Consideration Stage: The viewer is exploring solutions. This content should provide information, recommendations, and comparisons.
- Decision Stage: The viewer is close to making a choice. Use customer testimonials to show why your offering is superior.
Depending on your goals—whether to attract new customers, engage current ones, or support post-purchase satisfaction—you'll craft your video content accordingly.
Identifying Your Target Audience
Knowing the funnel stage informs who you're targeting. Crafting a buyer's persona, if not already in place, is vital for this step. Your video should be tailored to:
- The intended user of your product (buyer's persona).
- The video's role in the marketing funnel.
- The platforms where your audience is most active.
Answering these questions ensures you not only pinpoint your audience but also how to reach them effectively.
Determining Your Story's Narrative
The storytelling aspect is both exciting and challenging. Your story should include:
- A protagonist with a goal, mirroring your target demographic.
- A conflict, representing the customer's issue.
- A quest, introducing your product or service.
- A resolution, showcasing how you solve the problem.
Your narrative should resonate with your brand's mission and evoke the desired emotions from your audience, influencing every aspect of your video, from script to set design.

Aligning with Creative Demands
While you're weaving your video's narrative, be cognizant of the stakeholders involved in the approval process—managers, company founders, marketing teams, and so on. Their feedback is crucial and can significantly alter the direction of your video. Adjustments in script, messaging, and objectives can disrupt the production flow, which is why these are common hurdles.
"We also implemented a dynamic feedback loop, collecting user feedback through social media interactions such as comments, likes, and shares. "

Adhering to Your Schedule
In the realm of video production, timelines are your lifeline. From the initial concept to the final distribution, it's imperative to have a structured schedule. In fact, multiple timelines are recommended: one overarching timeline for the entire project, and separate ones for production, post-production, and distribution. These timelines act as checkpoints, providing clarity on progress and remaining tasks.
It's essential that each department—marketing, production, social media—operates with its own timeline, ensuring a cohesive workflow. Transparency is key; keep all team members abreast of any changes or milestones reached.

Working Within a Realistic Budget
Budgeting is a cornerstone of your strategy. Plan for in-house production versus outsourcing, and be aware of potential splurges and savings. Researching and comparing costs for different services and production methods is also crucial.
Leveraging AI Technology
AI tools can amplify your video marketing strategy's effectiveness and efficiency. Utilizing machine learning for video content analysis can yield insights into audience preferences, enabling targeted content creation. AI can also streamline video production and facilitate A/B testing and performance metrics analysis.
However, it's important to remember that the human element is irreplaceable in storytelling and emotional connection. While AI provides data-driven support, the creativity and originality that come from human input are what make content truly resonate with viewers.
