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.

We're thrilled to announce that we won not one, or two, but THREE Lens Awards at Communicate Magazine's prestigious awards event. We won awards for best One-off Video Campaign (Bronze) and Best Lifestyle and Wellbeing (Gold) for our work with Essity , a global hygiene and health leader that trusted us to transform essential H&S by producing a fresh and memorable induction video for visitors to their historic Oakenholt Mill. Delivering key messages with humour and heart, our approach stars children from real Essity employees as the mill’s pint-sized operators. It was a silver for Best Live or Experiential Video, celebrating our cinematic event work with PepsiCo . The Away from Home team’s breakout room at an international conference contained five ultrawide 4K screens stretching nearly 30 meters. Where we delivered 20 videos and nearly 70 assets overall, blending real footage, AI generated visuals, and synchronised side-screen magic. A panoramic feel that supported our client’s event in a whole new way. Thank you to our awesome team of in-house creatives. Photographed, a delegation from CH attended the event on behalf of the whole company.
