Panasonic's UK marketing division was seeking a solution that would allow them to
produce high-quality video content without the costly rates and prolonged project
turnaround that are often associated with outsourcing to an agency.
“I wanted to be able to create videos quicker and cheaper than using an agency,”
“We went from creating 5 videos a year with an agency to about 5 videos a month, if
not more,” said Daniel Creasey, UK Marketing Manager at Panasonic.
From promoting whitepapers to creating product teasers and virtual event content,
Panasonic leverages its social media and sets a new standard for their industry.

#1 - YouTube Keyword Research
1. Look at YouTube’s autocomplete

2. Find keywords competitors are
using
3. Reference the keywords you’re
using for traditional SEO

relatively large search volume?

in the SERP?
4. Optional) Use tools designed for
YouTube Keyword Research
a. KeywordTool.io
What types of keywords and
videos rank best for video?
- How-to / question-based
- Reviews
- Tutorials

#2 - Publish High-Retention Videos
Include Summary
Include a summary of
your video right at the
start so people know
what to expect.
Get to the Point
Avoid long intros and
fluff. Immediately jump
into the main
takeaways to keep
viewers engaged.
Use Open Loops
Open loops are previews
throughout the video. Keep
people engaged by dropping a
preview of what will be discussed
later in the video.
Video Length
Similar to traditional SEO, focus on
producing videos that answer
people’s questions and provide
genuine value versus how long the
video should be.
