3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3© 2014 Demand Metric Research Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
It has been said that “All Marketing is Digital Marketing,” and with good reason! In the last decade, marketing has been transformed.
Marketing has moved from an environment in which traditional marketing, brick and mortar storefronts and Digital Marketing options all
competed for the time, attention and resources of the marketing department to one in which Digital Marketing reigns supreme (with an
occasional nod in the direction of the storefront or traditional marketing channels, such as direct mail and print advertising).
In our Digital Marketing Solution Study Series, we examine ten digital marketing components and offer independent reports for six of these. In
this report, we will focus on the growing practice area of Video Marketing and cover the following sections:

At Demand Metric, we define Video Marketing as the
strategies, processes and technologies employed by an
organization to generate interest in their brand, company and
products through the use of relevant, engaging video content.
Businesses utilize videos to provide information, education, advice
and/or entertainment to their target audience. These videos include
a powerful combination of elements – audio, cast/speaker(s),
images, graphics and text – that are exceptionally appealing and
effective at promoting messages.
Video Marketing encompasses a wide variety of activities, including
program planning, the alignment of target audience & video
content, video production, content distribution, video optimization
& monetization and program analysis.
The main goals of a Video Marketing program are to develop
brand awareness, to provide attention-grabbing content for
clients & prospects and to generate qualified, captivated leads.

Inherently, video is a form of content used to enhance the overall
customer experience. While the demand for video among
Internet users has created the need for a specialized Video
Marketing focus, it remains part of the broader Content
Marketing practice area. Learn more about Demand Metric’s
approach to Video Marketing and how it supports Content
Marketing with our Video Marketing Plan Methodology and our
How-To Guide: Enhancing Content with Video Marketing.
Role in Digital Marketing
Stemming from the larger umbrella of Content Marketing, Video
Marketing has become an integral part of the overall digital
experience. Video Marketing’s role in the digital landscape can be
seen in our Digital Marketing Framework (Figure 2).
Video Marketing processes and technologies are used primarily by
Content Marketing. However, several other roles contribute to video
content, including Strategic Communications, Demand Generation,
Community, Social Media and Customer Experience.

Video Marketing: Insights, Landscape & Vendor Analysis
6. As discussed earlier, videos are a powerful combination of elements.
When implemented properly, these elements work together to
produce a wide array of benefits for any organization, including:
Augments Content Marketing Initiatives – Video falls under
the unified umbrella of Content Marketing. Although Video
Marketing has taken on its own persona, ultimately, it
supplements content initiatives with a highly effective medium.
Provides Collateral for Social Media Marketing – Once
videos have been produced, they are powerful tools that should
be shared on all of an organization’s Social Media channels.
Video has become one of the most highly shared content
formats on the Internet, especially on Social Media networks.
Increases User Engagement – By choosing to “play” a video,
a viewer is already showing interest in your product/service.
With video, viewers have the option of actively choosing content
rather than just passively receiving content via email, ads, etc.
Produces Realistic Customer Experiences – For those
organizations that have little in-person contact with their clients,
video provides a platform for organizations to show the faces of
the organization and personalize communication to specific
buyer segments. In comparison to other content formats, video
content allows organizations to gain a manufactured face-to-face
interaction that allows them to connect personally with clients.
Generates Engaged and Qualified Leads – When video
content is strategically planned, produced and distributed for a
particular audience, it is more likely to generate prospects that are
invested in your message. One-minute of relevant, engaging
video content can be very powerful to the right audience and
increase the likelihood of a viewer following a call-to-action.
Enhances Brand Identity – Gaining an audience for your
videos, will improve viewers’ connection between your brand and
the message you are providing in the video. For this reason, it is
important to create a clear, relevant story that highlights the most
appealing attributes of your organization.

7. Improves SEO Efforts – According to Demand Metric’s Chief
Analyst, Jerry Rackley, “Marketers should keep in mind that
search engines will index properly tagged videos very well, and
they often include an attention-grabbing thumbnail pane in the
search results page.” Consequently, the more videos your
program produces, the higher your SEO rankings will become.
Creates Revenue – Some organizations choose to make their
videos fee-based, which would certainly provide more revenue, if
presented properly. However, even organizations that open video
content to everyone should expect a hike in revenue due to the
other projected benefits listed above. A strategic plan for the
production and distribution of a video marketing program will,
eventually, help generate revenue.

include these key benefits as the ultimate goals and objectives for
your Video Marketing program.
