Branded video content is a relatively new form of advertising that, when executed properly, is loved by both audiences and brands alike.
Through clear labelling, audiences are aware they’re watching an advert but are still receptive because the content is so good. The content has to work harder as the audience is ultimately watching an ad. That’s the deal with the viewer.
Brands and their agencies love well made, narrative rich, audience centric branded video content as it is proven to increase engagement, reach and conversion.
Original brand funded video content is here to stay. It is both transforming and supporting traditional media and advertising models.
Durations for branded video content is expanding from short-form length into long-form. Branded video content could be 3 seconds or 90 minutes. Arguably the Lego Movie series is the ultimate example of original brand funded video content, that is an advert. Audiences are happy to buy a ticket to see the content and engage with the brand as the content is so good. It’s a win win situation.
According to the quantitative study, “Storytelling: The Current State of Branded Content,” branded content’s impact is superior to display advertising in terms of recall, brand perception and intent/consideration.
