TopRank News: Video Takes the Content Marketing Spotlight

Is your brand ready for its closeup? Video content marketing is a hot topic for B2B marketers right now, and it’s clear why. Adults in the U.S. spend an average of four hours per day watching videos online. YouTube is now the second largest search engine in the world.? I wouldn’t say video killed the radio star — podcasts are still going strong — but video should be an area of interest for any marketing team.?

We’ve got some ground to make up. According to Content Marketing Institute, over two-thirds of marketers say video is more important to their business than last year, yet only 7% report that they’re using it to its full potential.?

This month, we’re looking at how B2B marketers use video, with plenty of useful advice you can put into practice now.

TL;DR Takeaways:

1. YouTube tags play a major role in searches on the site, more so than regular hashtags. Don’t neglect them!


2. LinkedIn’s new offering lets you target LinkedIn members on their home TVs.


3. Video can elevate all types of B2B content, from testimonials to demos to case studies.

At a Glance:

In the Edelman-LinkedIn report on thought leadership, two-thirds of respondents said above-average thought leadership has a unique format or style.

Video is a great way to level up your thought leadership content from good to great.

The Last Word:

Video isn’t replacing the rest of your content strategy, but it should be a part of your content plan. You don’t need a Hollywood studio to produce video that gets results. Try these simple formats:

  • A behind-the-scenes look at your corporate culture, shot on smartphones
  • YouTube shorts or Instagram reels highlighting your thought leadership
  • Livestreaming on LinkedIn
  • Explainer videos built with stock footage and animated text

At TopRank Marketing, we’re exploring video for clients and our own marketing. Like this one from Debbie Friez:
