What needs to happen for  video marketing budgets to increase? This question was asked by Portada to marketers at MediaVest, Horizon, Publicis Media and Dunkin’ Brands in a piece included in our just released 52 page 2017 Video Marketing Guide (Free Download).  Some key insights below.

00ce39dJennifer Weiss,VP, Connections Director, MediaVest (photo) tells Portada that “for Hispanic marketers in particular, there is still a lack of premium, relevant English-language content. Every source out there says the majority of Hispanics are consuming digital content in English, yet the majority of the premium, long-form, relevant video content is repurposed from Spanish language TV networks. Hulu has created some, but there is still a much bigger opportunity in this space. Advertisers are willing to pay more for great content that they know people are watching – and premium, long-form content doesn’t have the same viewability and fraud issues that less premium video content faces. There is also a huge migration of watching long-form content in the digital space, and our ads are less-intrusive there, so we definitely need to provide more content.”

In fact, they are more likely to watch ads on their smartphones if those ads exemplify aspects of their Latino culture. In addition, they consume online video content in both languages so it is imperative to provide consumers with both English and Spanish content and let the consumer choose the language in which they prefer to engage with our brand.”

Horizon’s Karina Dobarro, VP Managing Director of Multicultural Brand Strategy, Horizon Media,karina-dobarro agrees with Delloca-Pawlowski, “The biggest opportunity today with online video is being able to reach a captivated Hispanic audience with premium content in both languages.”

Off-line Sales Measurement Needed

MediaVest’s Weiss stresses that for video advertising to substantially grow it is necessary for buyers to obtain offline sales data. “We know the consumption is happening – consumers post on social media about seeing our ads online. Yet, many publishers are nervous about allowing closed-loop offline sales metrics. The more we can prove that our media dollars are working hard in the online video space, and with particular publishers, the more media dollars will be available for online video publishers.”

People-based Targeting Based on First Party Data

Weiss also has a interesting point to make when she speaks about the scarcity of first party data. “A key hurdle for Hispanic marketers in the online video space is targeting Hispanics on English language sites. We know that Hispanics are consuming General Market media online, yet most of the targeting data available comes from cookies – largely from people who have visited a Spanish language site. We need to make sure we’re able to reach those Hispanics who never visit a Spanish-language website. More 1st party data will help us deliver on that, and publishers need to do more to gather & share that data with advertisers. As the industry moves more towards programmatic private marketplace deals to buy video, this data becomes the holy grail. Many advertisers find it challenging to reach Hispanics with programmatic on English language sites right now, even though we know the audience is there. We must get over the cookie hurdle and move more towards people-based-targeting. “

Tailored Creative Messages

Marketers want to be as relevant as possible based on what they know about their intended consumer, which has been enabled in part by data-driven audience buying. Beyond that, also tailoring the message for differing video formats is crucial. On some platforms video will have audio, for instance, and in others the audio must be user initiated. Depending on functionality, marketers and agencies must design for success.”
