Event Content
Whether you are celebrating your team’s successes, throwing the biggest festival of the year or hosting an intimate panel of speakers for a Q&A session, every event is a huge opportunity for your brand to shine. Events are times when your brand is putting its best foot forward, but more often than not, businesses forget to take full advantage of the marketing opportunities this provides.
An event video will ensure that the opportunities for brand awareness and engagement don’t run dry at the end of the night, but continue providing value well into the future.
What is an event video?
Event videos can take many shapes and sizes and can do everything from helping promote a brand or product, to extending the reach of an important message or celebrating your team.
Options for event videos can include capturing a polished and faithful version of your entire event, to the popular “sizzle reel”, which takes the best moments from your event and craftily pieces them together into a fast-paced, vibrant video to attract, excite and engage your audience. No matter which format you choose, professionally produced event videos will deliver authentic, personable content to make the most of your event.
Why are event videos so impactful?
Every event comes with a need to see your time, efforts and expense rewarded, and the good news is that video is an incredibly simple way to make the most of your event and give your engagement and lead generation a huge boost.
For many brands, the core purpose of an event is to drive visibility, so video of your event is simply the logical choice to extend your reach well beyond your immediate circle through all marketing channels. And in terms of capturing attention we know video works, with research showing us that 86% of people are wanting more video content from brands and they are twice as likely to share video content with their friends compared to any other type of content.
Beyond simply being valuable marketing collateral, for events that are not purely celebratory but driven by a cause or core need, video is a crucial tool to maximise publicity and drive your important message to a wider audience.
How to make a great event video
When it comes to making an event video, there are a few key elements involved to ensure it is exceptional.
Plan your content
From a single event you can capture an incredible array of footage which can be used to create many pieces of content. Rather than leaving it to chance, think about and plan your “must have” content in advance so that your production team can ensure it is ready to use.
Tailor to your audience
Great event videos don’t just mirror what happened on the day, but they ensure that the content is relevant and appealing to the target audience. Think about what content will appeal to your audience the most and tailor your video to meet this need.
Use a hook
Never underestimate the power of a great opening sequence to draw your viewer in and keep them engaged in your content and wanting more from your brand.
