These are the most common types of media you’ll see doing the rounds. Explainers are a perfect fit for an audience seeking to learn more about a product or service. They’ll have the intention of either solving a pain point or capitalising on an opportunity.
A great Explainer resonates with their current situation and gets them excited about how your product/service can achieve their ambitions. An Explainer video is a short, powerful video, think of it as an elevator pitch in video form.

Where an Explainer takes on the specific role of getting your audience excited about a product or service, a Brand video gets them excited about your company. They work particularly well front and centre on your home page and also on LinkedIn.
Our goal is to create a resonance between your brand values and your audiences so that their reaction is “I really like and want to work with this company.”

When going the whole hog on a TV Commercial isn’t an option, or you’re looking to advertise on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and the Google Display Network, then Social Hooks offer a compelling alternative.
They carry the same creative form as Commercials (a single proposition in a creative wrapper), but they run as short, silent, looping animations. If lead gen is your priority, then Social Hooks may be a very attractive and cost-effective option.

Explainers and Brand Videos aren’t the only useful tools in your arsenal when seeking to engage web visitors. Affectionately named Web Hooks are short, looping animations that can quickly help a viewer to gain a better understanding of a specific issue or function.
For example, if you have a list of product benefits, then a series of Web Hooks could sit alongside these, helping the viewer visualise the features or functionality which deliver each benefit.

Gone are the days when commercials cost an arm and a leg to get in front of your audience. The TV only ‘spray and pray’ approach has been replaced with much more nuanced and highly targeted platforms, such as Sky Adsmart, YouTube Pre-roll, 4oD, LinkedIn etc.
The power of a commercial lies in its ability to take a single proposition (the core essence of the product/service) and showcase it in a creative and compelling way. If you haven’t ever considered commercials, now may be a perfect time.
