Why Video Content Should Be In Your 2023 Strategy

December 13, 2022

If a picture is worth 1000 words, the value of video could equate to the filmography of Quentin Tarantino, and his books for good measure.


Consider this impact when connecting with your audience, guiding their attention and compelling them to stick around and watch your brand’s story unfold. 

 

It’s projected that there will be 3.5 billion video watchers every month in 2023. With this in mind, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that video marketing should be at the forefront of your strategy.

Why video content?


You might still have your doubts. Do you have enough resources? Is it worth it? First things first, videos can make you some serious money. 

 

The effectiveness of video isn’t even that surprising, after all, vision is our most dominant sense. Videos also build trust. The whole concept of marketing is based on trust and long term relationships, so by providing useful information and igniting emotions, you foster trust and present your products in a conversational form. Finally? Google. Google loves videos. Put simply, longer exposure builds trust and signals to search engines that your site has good content. Good news all round. 


What kind of video content?


Videos come in so many different forms, it can be hard to know which one will hit the home run. The possibilities are limitless, and there are a few topics that seem to hit the mark harder than others:

 

  1. Customer or consumer partnerships and testimonials: A versatile way to build credibility and showcase features of your product or service
  2. How-tos: These videos are great not only for establishing expertise and authority but for capturing the all important ‘how-to’ queries
  3. Give a tour and introduce your culture - show the human side of your company, connect on an emotional level and let your personality shine through

 

Whatever video format you opt for, the purpose is usually to attract and engage your visitors, carrying them down the marketing funnel. With so many opportunities available, it’s no wonder a video content revolution is anticipated. 

 

As with any video strategy, it’s important your content has a detailed plan. Follow our best practices checklist to help achieve your full video potential!

CH x Euronics: Going the Extra Mile

By Aidan Patterson • May 12, 2026
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.

Utilising the Latest AI Tools to Boost Creativity

By Aidan Patterson • May 11, 2026
Generative AI can easily open doors to help create bespoke, crafted content to elevate a video beyond the usual approaches. Recently we tested the latest AI tools to create vast scenic landscapes, humorous underwater worlds and visual effects shots for several campaigns. The tools have advanced a long way over the last few years and the barriers to creating believable or imaginative worlds are fading away all the time. Need an underwater disco full of dancing fish? Got it. A speaking anthropomorphic clown fish? Absolutely. The Key is Consistency It was key to ensure a good amount of consistency across each video. We created multi-angle reference sheets of characters and key objects and use node-based tools to link these, and additional brand references, to ensure the look was maintained throughout. The tools are now in a place where you can also direct and control the results much more closely. Camera moves, lens choices and lighting can be defined and adjusted to get closer to the image or video that you’re looking for and as the creative options expand, options for creativity within each shot expand infinitely.
