12. BEST PRACTICE
FOCUS ON QUALITY FROM THE FIRST FRAME
Since videos auto-play silently in Feed, you should lead with imagery that
will catch a person’s eye from the very beginning
PREMIERE EXCLUSIVE VIDEO CONTENT
Post exclusive video content to your Page to reward them
with something that they can’t get anywhere else
PROVIDE CONTEXT
Set context by pulling out a key quote or moment from the
video as the copy of your post. This will help set
expectations for the experience ahead
OPTIMUM DURATION
The shorter, the better
Buzzfeed Video - 24 seconds, BBC News - 36 seconds
Generally it’s best practice to keep it under a minute (60 seconds)
13. BEST PRACTICE
ADD A VIDEO CALL-TO-ACTION
Use a call-to-action to invite people to visit
a destination of your choice after viewing
your video on Facebook. Examples for the
call-to-action include Learn More, Watch
More, Shop Now, and Sign Up.
TAG OTHER PAGES IN YOUR VIDEO POSTS
Tag the Pages of people that appear in your video or that you want to make
aware of your video to drive up organic distribution
REFINE YOUR STRATEGY WITH VIDEO INSIGHTS
For each video you post to your Page, you can view metrics like
video views, unique video views, the average duration people viewed
your video and audience retention. These metrics are designed to help
you learn what’s resonating with people and tune the length and
content for your video audience (Learn more here)
14. CASE STUDY: LEGO DUPLO
LEGO chose Facebook video over a TV campaign
They wanted to see how well the
platform could replace TV as the
primary channel for reaching
mums with its Duplo range
15. CASE STUDY: LEGO DUPLO
One-month campaign targeted at
women aged 25–44
Half the budget of a TV campaign
Market research - mums are increasingly
switching off their TVs and spending
more time on Facebook instead
LEGO Duplo created 4 videos that
extended its “so many ways to play” TV
idea, exploring what children could build
with a little creativity and imagination
Mums who saw the videos were then
retargeted with a link ad that
encouraged them to subscribe to a
monthly newsletter.

16. CASE STUDY: MCDONALDS
McDonald’s used real-time video for its global
World Cup campaign, FryFutbol
With 500 million football fans, Facebook was perfectly placed to help
McDonald’s execute only the second global campaign in its history
17. CASE STUDY: MCDONALDS
Before the World Cup, a model of a football stadium made entirely from McDonald’s
packaging was created inside Facebook’s London HQ
This became the stage to recreate the best plays of the day using nothing but
French fries and a few hastily assembled props
It began with historic moments leading up to the tournament, and continued with nearly
30 videos in 30 days - delivered to 37 different countries using Facebook ads
For the first time ever, these ads were targeted at scale to dynamic clusters of people who
had actually engaged with the World Cup during the previous 24 hours. This meant that
McDonald’s content was expertly delivered to the people most likely to engage with it
The moment the last game ended in Brazil, work started in London: 45 minutes to
storyboard; a midnight call to lawyers for approvals; 30 minutes for props; 4 hours to
shoot; 2 hours to edit; and then a sunrise wakeup call to the lawyers

FryFutbol was really designed to work on

to target an audience that was relevant

Promoted Videos featuring people in their
opening scenes are up to 2X more likely to
drive consumers to opt in to view beyond the
first few seconds of video play
Create videos that include a clear beginning,
middle, and end. Take consumers on a
narrative journey and deliver a resolution. This
approach tends be the most successful in
making a lasting impression and driving
earned impressions through Retweets.
Videos that highlight celebrities or influencers
can improve brand health, boasting recall up to
14% above benchmark and intent to share 6%.

26. BEST PRACTICE
KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
Periscope is connected to Twitter, that's where you'll be promoting
your broadcasts primarily. so do some research to find out when
they're most engaged with your posts
COME UP WITH A COMPELLING TITLE
Your title should describe what your video is and why people should
either tune in live or watch on replay.
SHARE ON TWITTER
By sharing your broadcast on Twitter, you’ll reach a bigger audience
and having it on Twitter means that more people will have the
opportunity to find your content and replay.

DON’T RELY ON SOUND
As Instagram videos are muted by default, there’s no guarantee that
viewers will actually activate the sound
DON’T OVER EDIT
Part of Instagram’s appeal is its authenticity. You don’t want to upload
anything that feels too commercial or inorganic.
31. CASE STUDY: MTV UK
MTV UK post content that reflects the youthful and fun vibe of
the brand and always follows the same theme - bright,
colourful and quirky with a combination of images and videos

36. BEST PRACTICE
Make it personal - don’t just repurpose existing content
Cyrene Quiamco, better known as CyreneQ on Snapchat, is one of the platform’s early stars
and has worked with brands like Marvel and NBC’s The Voice. She advises brands getting
into Snapchat to consider the experience before repurposing the same old content.
Shoot vertically rather than horizontally
9x more completion rate
Build anticipation through your snaps. Snapchat is
great for teaser content
Snapchat is a great place for collaborations,
using the takeover Q&A method that works
so well on Facebook, Twitter etc.

Adweek and asked their existing
communities to follow them on

The content was platform-

photos with clever captions that
poked fun at the banality of the
typical Sunday.
They also joked about real-time
aspects of the game and the
halftime show.
Many fans chose to share the
private snaps publicly to their
followers on Twitter, claiming
that the snaps from Audi were
the only enjoyable part of the
Super Bowl.

TEASE LONGER-FORM CONTENT
Some brands are really excelling at using micro-video to give the viewer a
taste of something longer by guiding them back to their
own website, or another social media platform
REACT QUICKLY
VINE IS ideal for a quick reaction to current events. With a little forethought,
brands and creators can be ready to respond to an event, and share their
Vines out over social media
GREAT FOR TENT-POLE CONTENT
Vine is made for tent-pole marketing content such as this nice little
hack from IKEA USA using one of its own kitchen products
43. CASE STUDY: AIRBNB
In 2013, Airbnb
created the FIRST film
made entirely out of
crowdsourced vines
To achieve this, the company
released a shot-list over Twitter
that anyone could film for
submission, and offered a $100
Airbnb credit to anyone lucky
enough to have their Vine
included in the final product.
750+SUBMISSIONS

44. CASE STUDY: AIRBNB
Award-winning screenwriter Ben York Jones
wrote a script, and each Vine shot was meant to
play into the overall theme of, “the transformative
journey of a simple piece of paper”
Airbnb leveraged Twitter as its
“director” by tweeting visual instructions
to communicate how different clips
should be created.
Following each shot list tweet, fans had
48 hours to submit their Vine, plus
#AirbnbHV and #S[shot number] for a
chance to be included and win $100
Airbnb credit if used
