Big Video Trends For 2023

February 23, 2023

We love video! It’s exciting and ever-changing with new styles, platforms, and technologies coming out all of the time. 


Let’s take a look at some of the expected video trends for 2023. 

Filming In Person


Covid can jog on from our point of view. We’re back, we’re filming and we’re travelling all over.


So, film professionally! Don’t revert back to a simple self-recorded piece of content that everybody is a bit tired of seeing nowadays. 


AI-Generated Videos 

Artificial intelligence has really taken off. It’s transforming the video landscape and we can expect to see more in 2023. 


AI-generated videos are making it easier for brands and content creators to produce high-quality video content. They can be used for a wide range of applications, including product demos, explainer videos, and social media content.


Short-Form Videos 

How short is too short?! Short-form videos are huge on TikTok and Instagram, and this trend is likely to continue in 2023.


Easy to consume, share, and create, they’re the perfect way to capture short attention spans and drive engagement. 


Vertical Videos 


Vertical videos are optimised for phone screens and give a more natural and immersive viewing experience. 


Keep the content visually compelling and engaging, with clear messages and consider if you need audio to ensure your content is accessible to everyone.

Interactive Videos 


A really engaging way to give a personalised experience, allowing viewers to make choices and interact with the content, for a more immersive and engaging experience. 


In 2023 you can expect more brands and content creators to leverage this as part of their marketing and content strategies on a range of applications from product demos and educational content to interactive games. 


Live Streaming 


It’s been around for a while but it’s been gaining more popularity in recent years, and is expected to continue in 2023. 


Used for product launches, Q&A sessions, and behind-the-scenes content, it’s an authentic and unfiltered experience, it’s an effective way to build trust and engagement with your audience. 


The key to success with this is really sure the content is compelling, engaging, and relevant to your target audience.

Video will continue to be the dominant force in the world of digital marketing in 2023. So whether it's short-form, live streaming, interactive video, vertical videos or AI, there's a trend for every brand to explore in 2023.

Lots of brands are pulling video production in house. On paper, it sounds efficient but in practice? We’re seeing a different story. Here’s what often gets overlooked. You’re Hiring Individuals - Not a Creative Team Once you factor in salaries, kit, software and overheads, most businesses end up with one or two junior to mid creatives. Talented, yes. But limited in scope. An agency gives you directors, animators, writers, cinematographers, strategists… activated only when you need them. Creativity Gets Stuck In house teams work on the same brand day in, day out. Agencies work across sectors, styles and problems and that cross pollination is where the best ideas come from. Retention Gets Hard and Expensive Strong creatives crave variety and progression. Small teams can’t always offer it, and when one person leaves, the whole system wobbles. Replacing technical talent is costly and the “savings” of in housing disappear fast. Who’s Challenging the Brief? Executing a brief is one thing. Challenging it is another. You should have someone asking, “Is this the right format?” or “What if we did it differently?”. That’s where outside perspective becomes invaluable.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
