There is this catch in video marketing with YouTube: if you just upload your corporate/product videos and do nothing else, it is about as effective as having brochures printed and then piling them under your desk. On the other hand, if you want organic reach for your brand on YouTube, this can easily turn into a full time job -- without guaranteed results. What if I tell you that there is a better way?
This kind of video is also known as case study or testimonial. It is one of the most powerful tools in the box. A well-made client testimonial gives the brand credibility AND explains the product. Two birds with one stone really. If you have outstanding relations with your clients, this type of video can be relatively easy to achieve.. This is why we also recommend it as a starting point if your company is just at the beginning of their video marketing journey. Today we’re going to dig deep into this type of video.

More and more companies are using video, and it was evident from the many discussions that there is a need for a more strategic approach. This encouraged me to create a series of blog posts to guide you marketers towards making informed decisions. Let’s start with a birds-eye view. In this post, we will explore how to use video throughout each stage of the customer journey in marine marketing.
Previously, we discussed the best video genres to get started with b2b video marketing. In particular: • The CEO Video Message • The Tech Explainer • The Customer Success Story Find the article here below if you missed it. Now, what are some good formats once you have mastered these basics?
Maybe you're tired of hearing it: The covid pandemic has been a major catalyst in many fields, and digital marketing is one of them. Until 2020 many b2b marketers neglected social media and online marketing. “The best marketing is word of mouth” they said, and “we meet our clients at our specific industry trade shows”.
We got a lot of encouragement in response to our rebrand earlier this month. I also got asked "but why?" by some. Obviously, we are expanding our focus on the commercial maritime sector. Why are we doing that?
