Parody Marketing Videos and Viral Videos

Parody Marketing is becoming more prevalent due to the influence of social media video content and the many platforms there are, and also the fame of viral videos.

Meet our corporate brand video client, La Romantica Beds

La Romantica Beds discovered us by coming across our own parody marketing skits that we had produced for ourselves. Our skits had been getting lots of new attention to our site and brand. They approached us with the task of creating a parody marketing video production that we hadn't done for any of clients before. A short and witty film that would help them to gain new customers with a laid back approach. With the purpose of selling beds and mattresses, we worked with La Romantica closely to infuse their slogan 'beds to fall in love with,' with a sharp and funny edge. With inspiration from the popular TV show First Dates, we created a parody clip of the show featuring a contestant named Amy, who was looking for the perfect relationship. You can see the film right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6rBIev0ATA&t=4s Working with La Romantica was a delight, and for us to try something new with our filmmaking, they were the perfect collaborative partners. We made sure we listened to every concern the client had on how they wanted to approach the video, and in the end we couldn't be happier with how the project came together. From this, we are pleased to say we are very excited to work on more parody marketing in the future. Working in such a fun environment to create something we can look back on again and again for a chuckle brings us a lot of joy. We have lots of plans for our [...]

Top tips for a better Video Strategy

Have you got a video strategy in place? If not, then here are some of our top tips to get you started. Most companies will have a good marketing plan in place which is reviewed each year. However not everyone has a video strategy. If you’re using video in your business it’s key that you have a separate video strategy that feeds into your overarching marketing or communications plan. This ensures any content you create is delivering against your main marcomms objectives, hitting the mark and helping you to achieve the results you’re looking for. Web video When thinking about your video strategy it is important to understand how video is going to be utilised on the website. We're not just talking about creating a video and putting this on the homepage. This is only the start... If you have multiple pages on your website detailing specific products or service areas, it’s important to think about how your main brand film or corporate video can be re purposed into smaller bitesize chunks. This will help your audience to move through your website and benefit from smaller, more specific pieces of information delivered through engaging video content. Video works best when it’s short (unless its for a specific purpose like a training video for example) so it’s important to remember NOT to cram every message into one video. Break it down, make it more accessible for your audience so they are leaving each video with one simple overall message or [...]
