How does video help bring awareness to your brand and services?
Video is such a dynamic tool when sharing on social media. Our voices are our power and strength - what better way to reach our target audience? Poison Waters is an experience, and with video I can take my viewers on that journey with me.
Could you tell us about your last Facebook video ad?
During Pride month lots of individuals and companies are looking to support any way they can. With my Facebook ad, we targeted folks in the industry that tend to hire me. This way we were able to use the ad spend to specifically reach those who were more likely to be in the market for my services.
Note: With eye-catching visuals and a strong call to action, Poison's video ads drove over 1,500 visitors to her website and reached over 60,000 viewers on Facebook, Instagram Feed, and Instagram Stories.
When it comes to marketing, what advice would you give entrepreneurs in your field?
I definitely recommend video to other brands and businesses for their marketing campaigns.
Each brand has its own unique story, and an equally unique audience. Properly targeting that audience can help your video message have a wider and more sustainable impact for your brand. Engage your viewers by sharing the history, purpose, and passion behind your brand, and then invite them to inquire further. Our Service Brand Story template helps you create a social-ready video in minutes.
