Everything we do starts with a strategy. With video being the predominant form of effective marketing, it’s increasingly important to make stand out content that stops your target audience from scrolling and encourages them to engage with your brand. For a project to be a true success, we need to understand who the audience is, where they watch their content, and when is best to reach them. 

As a video content agency working across every social media platform, we have an in-depth knowledge of the latest content trends and access to audience metrics, and anything we don't have, we can research. We’ll use this information to help develop the creative, and follow with calculated activation across identified media channels for maximum accurate reach. By getting your content in front of the right audiences at the right time, we can ensure increased engagement and a stronger return on investment. Thousands of views from your target audience are always worth more than millions from those that are inconsequential.

An introduction to the video strategy process

Stage 1:
Pre-Production

From the very start of every project we fully explore your target audience to identify the opportunities available to you, working with you to decide on campaign budgets, promotional channels, individual channel strategies and what success looks like. By looking at possible ad placements alongside your target audience, we can look at the channels and formats that will deliver the best results for you.

The benefit of us managing the activation of your video campaign is that we know the campaign and can seamlessly move from production to activation, managing the deployments of your new video content. Setting up the campaign is only the beginning, it's our job to get into the stats and translate what they’re telling us. We will continuously monitor performance making regular adjustments to make your budget work harder for you ensuring the best possible return on investment.

A quick case study - Ramblers Scotland.

After working previously with Ramblers Scotland on a campaign around wild camping, we were given the goal of reaching a 200k target audience reach with this latest project. Based on our audience analysis, we developed a series of comedic scripts and secured local comedy talent to deliver a series of 3x1min 9:16 films. We formed a marketing strategy which included paid social media promotion across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, running over a five month period from April to August in vertical ad placements including TikTok in-feed ads, Insta stories, and Snapchat video ads. We eclipsed our 200k target with 4.3m target audience impressions, the project winning Gold at the EVCOM London Film Awards in the Best Use of a Smaller Budget category, and nominated for Excellence in Marketing at the Edinburgh Business Awards.

Responsible use of fire is just one of the many problems newbie wild campers need to consider in this humorous and award winning film for Ramblers Scotland.

Overcrowding is another issue, how to get around it??

Take only pictures, leave only foot prints, goes the mantra. Our protagonists tell the story a different way in our third film for Ramblers.
