Explainer video

Know your audience and reach them where they engage

Social video ads aren’t just repurposed videos thrown onto social media. Each platform has its own vibe, and the most effective ads are tailored to fit that, supported with targeted placements to achieve specific goals. A common pitfall? Simply using an existing video without optimizing it for social – a missed opportunity for better engagement.

Who benefits from social video ads?

Social video ads are a perfect fit for brands or nonprofits that need to engage a specific target audience while pursuing clearly defined objectives. These ads are tailored to drive measurable results, making them ideal for organizations that need to track return on investment (ROI) and gauge the effectiveness of their campaigns. By focusing on social platforms where their audience already engages, these video ads deliver precise messaging, ensuring that your content reaches the right people at the right time. Whether you're aiming to raise awareness, promote a cause, or drive conversions, social video ads offer a dynamic and measurable way to reach your goals.

Top 3 Ways to Leverage Social Video

Social video can serve many purposes, but these three focus on driving brand visibility, audience action, and meaningful engagement.

  • Social videos are perfect for building brand identity and fostering engagement. By showcasing your company's values, mission, or products in a creative way, videos grab attention quickly, making it easier for your audience to remember your brand.

  • Video content on social platforms can be optimized to drive traffic to websites, encourage sign-ups, or increase sales. Well-executed social videos with strong calls-to-action (CTAs) guide viewers towards specific actions, making it a key tool for conversions.

  • Educational videos, tutorials, or explainer videos can build trust and credibility by providing valuable information. These videos are particularly effective on platforms like YouTube or Instagram where users often search for quick solutions or learning opportunities.
