How to Start Video Marketing and Grow Your Brand
Video marketing isn’t just for big brands anymore—it’s now the most powerful, accessible tool any business can use to increase visibility, build trust, and grow faster.
Video has become the most effective way to attract, educate, and convert customers. Whether you're a business owner, marketer, or creator, video marketing can help you reach a wider audience and stand out in a crowded digital world. The challenge? Knowing where to start.
The good news: you don’t need to be an expert—or handle everything yourself. With the right strategy (and the right production partner), video marketing becomes manageable, repeatable, and incredibly impactful.
Here’s how to get started.
1. Start with Your Goals
Before filming anything, clarify what you want your videos to accomplish.
Are you trying to:
• Build brand awareness?
• Generate leads?
• Educate customers?
• Support your sales team?
Your goals determine the type of content you should create. A brand awareness video highlights your story and values, while a lead-gen video needs a strong call-to-action.
JSB Video helps clients shape these goals into a clear content plan that aligns with long-term business growth.
2. Know Your Audience
Effective video marketing speaks directly to the people you’re trying to reach.
Consider:
• What do they care about?
• What problems are they trying to solve?
• What tone or style resonates with them?
When you create videos your audience actually wants to watch, you build trust, loyalty, and stronger engagement. JSB Video ensures every video is crafted with your ideal customer in mind.
3. Choose the Right Type of Video
Different goals call for different formats. A few of the most effective:
• Brand Story Videos — build emotional connection and credibility.
• Explainer Videos — simplify complex products or services.
• Short-Form Social Content — quick, educational, snackable content for Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok.
• Sales & Event Videos — demos, testimonials, and trade show reels that move prospects down the funnel.
Not sure which format is right? We help clients choose the videos that deliver maximum impact.
4. Keep It Simple When Starting Out
You don’t need expensive equipment or complicated shots.
Focus on
• Good lighting
• Clear audio
• Clean, simple edits
While DIY is totally possible, many businesses prefer to skip the learning curve and partner with a production company. At JSB Video, we handle everything—lighting, sound, editing—so your video always looks polished and professional.
5. Be Consistent
One video won’t transform your brand, but consistent content will.
A content calendar keeps you organized and ensures your videos support your overall marketing goals. Whether weekly tips or monthly brand stories, consistency builds recognition and trust over time.
JSB Video helps businesses develop sustainable, easy-to-manage content plans.
6. Distribute Your Videos Strategically
Creating a great video is only half the work—getting it in front of the right audience is what drives results.
Distribute on:
• Social Media (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn)
• YouTube (best for longer content & SEO)
• Your Website (boosts conversion + search ranking)
• Email Campaigns (the word “video” increases open rates)
We help clients design distribution plans that maximize reach and engagement.
7. Analyze, Learn, Improve
Track performance through:
• Views
• Watch time
• Engagement
• Click-throughs
These insights help refine your strategy and guide your next round of content. JSB Video provides data-driven recommendations so every video performs better than the last.
