"84% of consumers want to see more video from brands in 2026 - a figure that has been very consistent for the last 8 years."

So what's stopping you investing more of your marketing budget in video?

The State of Video Marketing 2026 report from Wyzowl highlighted the 3 big blockers:

Good creative ideas

Coming up with the great creative ideas that will help the business achieve it's big objectives is hard and often requires an external perspective.

Lack of time

Video is just one of the things on your "to-do" list - we get it. We've been there. And finding the time to develop your creative ideas, shoot and edit your content and get it published across the right channels takes a lot of time.

Unclear on the ROI

If you can't quantify the return in pounds and pence, you're not going to convince the people who need to be convinced that more of your budget should be allocated to video.

And that's where we come in

Great creative ideas

Our Strategy workshops help to build a pipeline of creative content ideas linked directly to your big targets.

More time

Now that the video content strategy is in place, you can focus on all your other marketing priorities.

Creating great videos - together

how is video content created in 2026

When you’re creating most of your content in-house, you usually lose access to a creative agency partner who can help you make the most of the time and money being invested.

That’s where our Video Content Strategy is different.

You can work with us to help create your content strategy, create solid project briefs and define the key success metrics.

Then you can create all of that content in-house or partner with us on some key projects.

It’s in your hands.

"Creativity is a 12X profit multiplier."

Creativity is a 12x profit multiplier

The ‘Creative Dividend’ report from System 1 analysed 1,265 winning EFFIE campaigns between 2007 and 2023 across America and Europe.

Creativity came second only to brand size as the biggest multiplier of profit – making a strong case for investing in the creative quality of the content you create and the campaigns you run.

Campaigns which win an EFFIE must demonstrate “higher incremental profit or revenue, more brand and business results, and greater ROI.”

 

Beware of the "Extraordinary cost of dull"

Dullness is the biggest threat facing the advertising industry.

That was one of the key findings of “The Extraordinary Cost of Dull” which puts pounds and pence figures on the cost of creating content that fails to stand out from the crowd.

The cost of dull isn't just damage - it's waste.

"Making interesting, emotional ads saves you money"

But there's a problem...

"33% of marketing budget is wasted due to poor briefs."

While almost all marketers say briefs are essential for evaluating ideas, only 15% actually use them (betterbriefs.com).

This costs time and money.

But that’s not the biggest problem:

Creative decisions are being made without access to the information required to deliver the return you need from your marketing investment.

Focus on your business objectives to create great video content

"Creative teams find themselves trying to satisfy everyone's opinion rather than solving the original business challenge."

Your briefing document should be your creative guide all the way through the process.

But all too often it’s left gathering dust having been used at the outset and then forgotten as the project develops.

Personal opinions and gut instinct inform the decisions being made.

And you get ever more disconnected from your original objective.

The result?

Lots & lots of invisible, disposable video content that no-one asked to see.

Around 20 million videos are uploaded to YouTube every day.

And 95 million photos and videos and videos get uploaded to Instagram every day.

The sad truth is that almost all of it is invisible to the very people who you want to see it.

Why?

A lack of clarity and specificity around the positioning, messaging, audience and desired end result.

So how did we get here?

It’s easier than it has ever been to create video content.

But without solid foundations, it’s a very easy way to waste a lot of time and money.

24 hour access to the video camera in our pocket has led to:

Quantity over quality os not a good video content strategy

A 'quantity over quality' approach

meaning channels are saturated with lots of really poor video content that none of us ever asked to see.

a reactive approach is not a good video content strategy

Reacting instead of planning

meaning your content lacks consistency leading to confused and passive audiences who aren’t sure what they’re supposed to do next.

short term engagement metrics do not represent a good video content strategy

Fixating on short term engagement metrics

requiring ever growing ad budgets to reach the right people while margins get tighter – and you can’t take likes and shares to Tesco!

No connection between video activity and the big business challenges

and no means of measuring the success of your video content creation efforts in pounds and pence terms – what impact has it had?

We're here to change that - and this is how we do it.
