You Have Been Using Video on Facebook Wrong, and Creative Factory Will Show You Why

Written by Tomas Javurek | May 01 2019

 

We were all told that year 2018 was supposed to be ‘the year of video’ in digital marketing, and especially in Facebook marketing. This time, the message fulfilled its own prophecy by bringing most brands to use video in their ads. But it never really happened as easily and effectively as we all intended, so perhaps 2019 will indeed finally be ‘the year of video’. You may well ask - what happened?

Advertisers just didn’t understand the main strengths of video on Facebook, as lower CPMs were not the main driver. By simply transforming TV-like shots to digital is just not the way to go. The main strengths of video to control are:

  1. Grabbing users attention - the ability to “thumb-stop” the user during scrolling can improve your visibility within the crowded newsfeed.
  2. Filtering out the right users from the crowd - think about engagement as a filter. In cooperation with the right content cross-roads, anybody who continues viewing after a specific question or product is signalling their interest.
  3. Identifying key attention elements/products - if you know specific product sets within video or the position of a product within the video duration, you immediately know how to personalise your message to right users.
  4. Start a precise funnel leading to ROI - video is not just about reach or brand awareness anymore, but can become the entrance to your funnel, where you can precisely lead the user through personalised content at the right time in the right place.

Let’s summarise - if you will be able to A) create videos easily, B) play with their design, C) create them at scale to test different variations and D) utilise all data quickly, then video stops being just another ad format, but a substantial part of your performance strategy.

Here’s the issue right? For such a solution, you would usually need a lot of people, time and manual work - a factory of some sort. We don’t agree here.

You just need to get your hands on a tool that will discard all those needs - introducing our new Creative Factory.

And solve everything within your ads creation process decreasing the necessary time from days to minutes or seconds. With this speed, you are able to react fast based on your data analysis and apply changes at any time.

Do you still need to create the design of the video? Not in the traditional way! With a few easy drag & drop selections, the process can be done within a few minutes (even by the digital marketer!). And by filtering based on Facebook or Google Analytics performance data, you can make these ads super relevant. Here’s how it looks:
