I designed this stats-driven infographic to illustrate how online video production, marketing and viewership have been, and will be, trending over the years and why marketers should care. Here’s the text version as well:

Online Video Marketing Trends
Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.

WHY INVEST IN ONLINE VIDEOS?

Because being left behind sucks.

Every 3 years, businesses double the amount of money they spend on online videos, nationwide!

35% of all online spending was expended on video production in 2013, and 49% of marketers plan to enlarge their video budgets in 2014.

But, why are we spending so much on video?

AUDIENCE

in 2013, 188.2 million Americans viewed 50 billion online videos per month. Holy trucking shitake!

76% of marketers who don;t have video, are planning to add.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

People friggin’ love online video.

By 2017, online video will be 90% of all internet traffic.

Take all the internet!

We test attention, clarity, emotional hits, and ad fatigue to deliver the strongest performing version of each creative.

Production — “Lights, Camera, Let’s Break the Algorithm

Depending on the chosen creative style, production may include:
  • Live-action shoots
  • Voiceover recording

Kickoff & Strategy — “Let’s Figure Out What Makes Your Game Addicting”

We dig into your game: the mechanics, the art, the rage-quitting moments, the dopamine loops, the Easter eggs, the villains, the power-ups… and that one mechanic you think nobody notices but we absolutely do.

We identify:
  • Which emotions drive installs
  • Which gameplay moments create FOMO
  • What hooks will stop scrolls
  • Which creative styles match your goals and budget
This is where we decide how to make your game irresistible—or dangerously irresistible.
