Video Production Trends to Look Out for in 2022

January 4, 2022

Whether it’s a six second ad or a compilation, video is one of the most popular and engaging ways of capturing audiences.

As video looks set to be even more of a powerhouse for companies and advertisers in 2022, we wanted to share our predictions for trends to look out for. Keep your eyes peeled!


Personalised Videos

Much like email marketing, adding personalisation into your content shows promising results in user engagement. For video content, although this is not widely used, it's certainly an up and coming trend. The principle is simple, allowing parts of the video to include the viewer's name, behaviours, preferences etc. 

 

According to Forbes, personalization in marketing converts 202% better than non personalized media and offers 20x the ROI. Combined with video’s dominance as the number one form of media used today, it's clear to see why personalised video is set to be the strongest way to capture attention in 2022. 

Search Optimized Videos

Labelling and segmenting content according to the topics you are covering, allows Google to optimise search results and place your video in front of the right people. Using tags also allows you to better target your content to specific search queries. This is another area relatively new to markets, but it's a trend worth exploring in the following year. 

Short Form Videos 

In 2022, we expect a majority of brands to turn to short-form, explainer videos for their content. With most platforms (Instagram Reels, TikTok, Twitter etc) expanding their short form offerings, brands should utilise and prioritise short-form content offerings. Short form videos add value that audiences can use in their day to day, increasing retention opportunities. 

 

According to HubSpot’s 2022 Marketing Industry Trends Survey, 30% of social media marketers plan to invest more in short-form video than any other strategy in 2022. Meanwhile, 33% plan to leverage short-form video for the first time in 2022. 

 

Short form videos are particularly lucrative, as predicted by Statista. Statista stated that the number of TikTok users is set to grow by 1,110,000 users in 2022.

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.
