Did you know nearly 5 billion videos are watched everyday on YouTube, 100 million hours of video content is watched everyday on Facebook, and whopping 1200% more shares are generated by social media videos when compared to text and image posts? Well, that’s the power of video marketing in 2019.

CEO of Social Revelation Marketing, Ryan White, states that video content shared through Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and YouTube help brands tell their stories better. “This strategy helps you stand out with your content and will most definitely get you more eyeballs,” says the young entrepreneur, who launched his digital marketing agency in the year 2017 and built a 7-figure business in less than two years’ time.

White suggests that businesses must include video marketing in their overall digital marketing strategy. Video content plays a pivotal role in not just raising brand awareness but also spurs the buying decision of consumers.

Consistency in posting the video content is key to the success of any brand’s or individual’s video marketing plan. Besides, as per Ryan, creating high-quality video content is important to keep the audience hooked and maximize shares.

Brands can choose to create video content in the form of sixty-second videos which are perfect for IGTV, Instagram posts and Facebook posts to help increase followers organically. These could be one-minute educational, instructional or explainer videos about your product or service. Animated videos are yet another format to simplify complex concepts.

Posting high-quality stories on Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat a few times in a week consistently drive engagement as well as sales. These short-life stories invoke customer interest and generate views like no other format. Though Snapchat has 190 million daily users, Instagram stories have surpassed the platform with 400 million active daily users.

Another way to create engaging video content and tell brand stories in a better way is by turning live footage or media footage into a professional story and repurposes it across your social media channels. Event videos or show reels too garner views much higher than usual posts. Live videos on Facebook or Instagram give your audience a sneak peek into your company or brand’s day-to-day activities as well as special events/conferences. These videos get more comments in real time and viewers spend 8 times longer on live videos than others.

While creating your video marketing strategy, Ryan White suggests that brands should have a clear goal for the next five years. Based on this, the right perspective can be created or promoted through video and social media content. Also, short term goals like launching a new product, selling tickets for an event, or just boosting brand awareness must be clearly conveyed to ensure you derive the desired customer action. 64% of people are likely to buy a product after watching a product video.

The above figures put the spotlight on how indispensable video marketing has become in the past three years. If you have not yet leveraged the power of video content, it’s not too late to get started now.

When the stakes are highest, innovation shines brightest. As the NHL Playoffs brought an electric energy to the ice, entrepreneur Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros and his tech company Zooly AI delivered a first-of-its-kind fan experience for the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of real-time AI engagement in professional sports.

Leveraging Zooly’s flagship product, Photobomb, fans inside Amalie Arena during playoff games were given an entirely new way to connect with their team. With a simple QR code scan, spectators instantly received dynamic, personalized photos featuring the Lightning mascot ThunderBug, seamlessly inserted into their memories-no app download required, just pure surprise and delight.

In a setting where emotions run high and every moment matters, the Photobomb activation proved that artificial intelligence can enhance the magic of live events rather than distract from it. Fans flooded social media with their custom playoff memories, helping amplify the Lightning’s home-ice advantage beyond the rink and into the digital world.

“The playoffs are where legends are made,” said Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros, founder of Zooly AI. “It was important for us to show that AI can make these moments even more personal, not mechanical. We wanted fans to feel like they weren’t just spectators-they were part of the story.”

For the Lightning, it deepened fan loyalty. For Zooly, it validated a vision: building the connective tissue between live emotion and intelligent digital interaction.
