Why a well thought-out video strategy is essential for managers
A well-planned video strategy helps decision-makers to transform their communication channels in the digital world. Managers are increasingly turning to us with the question of how they can use video formats in a targeted manner to make their company visible and relevant. This is less about short-term effects and more about sustainable support and impetus in the creation, planning and distribution of video content.
In practice, there are many challenges: Unclear objectives, a lack of internal resources and uncertainty when selecting suitable channels. Managers often discuss these issues when they turn to our consulting services. A video strategy can help them to navigate the complex world of digital communication step by step and take sensible measures.
Elements of a successful video strategy
At the centre of every video strategy are clear objectives and a deep understanding of the target group. The first step is to precisely define what effect the video content should achieve. Is it about increasing brand awareness, supporting sales with product or explanatory videos or making specialist knowledge transparent? This cornerstone characterises both the content and form of the videos.
For decision-makers in SMEs or industry, it is often clear that the demand for authenticity is increasing. Clients often report that it is precisely the proximity to the company and the transparent presentation of processes that creates trust among customers. For example, short clips of production steps or employee interviews can be integrated into the communication strategy in a meaningful way.
Choosing the right distribution channels is also crucial. Platforms such as YouTube, LinkedIn or industry-specific forums can bring very different levels of success depending on the target group. An accompanying social media strategy can help to sustainably expand reach and ensure interaction.
Best practices from the industry
BEST PRACTICE at company XYZ (name changed due to NDA contract) A medium-sized production company developed a video strategy that combined internal process videos with customer communication. Targeted training videos improved customer advice, while social media content strengthened the brand in the long term. Video coaching sessions helped the management to communicate topics more confidently.
BEST PRACTICE at ABC (name changed due to NDA contract) A company from the technology sector opted for a video strategy that focussed on products that require particularly intensive explanation. Work steps were presented in short tutorials in a visually understandable and confidence-inspiring way. Clients often report that this significantly increased the conversion rate in the online shop.
BEST PRACTICE at DEF (name changed due to NDA contract) In the service sector, a video strategy was pursued that focussed primarily on the sustainability of content and regular publications. Monthly webinars and live streams provided impetus and demonstrably increased customer loyalty and visibility in relevant networks. The management particularly appreciates the continuous monitoring and adaptation of the content.
How a video strategy helps with online visibility
A video strategy is closely linked to visibility and search engine optimisation (SEO). We help you to prepare videos in such a way that they are easier to find in search engines and thus achieve a relevant reach. In addition to important aspects such as the choice of video titles and descriptions, we advise including subtitles and transcripts to support search algorithms and increase accessibility.
Nowadays, it is not only technical optimisation that counts, but also the combination of video strategy and social media marketing. Those who carefully adapt their video content to the specific goals and channels significantly increase user loyalty and engagement. Decision-makers often report that this holistic approach enables them to better manage their efforts and achieve measurable success.
What topics do decision-makers deal with as part of a video strategy?
Our discussions show that many managers are specifically looking for support when it comes to integrating video content into existing marketing processes. Topics such as time management, resource planning and the right message are key here. A video strategy can serve as a common thread that focusses projects and provides orientation.
From this experience, we know that external impulses in particular offer a valuable insight into existing structures. Our support therefore aims to use transruption coaching methods to enable project managers to manage and adapt the video strategy themselves.
