Grow Your Audience with Video and Search
Spin Creative • March 13, 2020
It’s one thing to try to build an audience for a new business; it’s an entirely different beast to launch a new product or reveal a rebrand. This requires marketing that straddles the line between your trusted, existing customer base and the potential new customers you hope to win.
Video can be a powerful tool when combined with search to help teach new and existing audiences about the exciting things your business has to offer. Below are three steps you can take to increase your audience with video and search.
Start with what your audience knows
If you were to poll your audience today – existing and target – what would they already know? What questions would they have?
The FAQs you feature on your website are an excellent place for mining content for video. Look at search queries to see what people are asking about your brand/product. You may notice that many people are using search terms such as, “What is Business X?” or “Does Product really work?” Instead of simply answering these questions on your website, you can create an entire video campaign that helps to introduce your new brand or new product/service to your audience.
Once you’ve looked at what people want to know about your brand/product, you can adjust your marketing strategy accordingly as your audience moves through the sales funnel.
Make videos that fit your call to action
What do you ultimately want your audience to do once they’ve learned about your rebrand or new product? These could look like very different objectives. You may be asking existing customers to head to a new website or download a different app (e.g. a health care company merging with another provider). Or, you may be asking new customers to reconsider buying a product from a brand that they previously thought wasn’t for them (e.g. men’s razor companies selling women’s products).
One video won’t fit these varied actions you want from viewers. You’ll need to have distinct calls to action paired with the appropriate video. Create video explaining the rebrand and how customers will benefit, then offer viewers a link to download the new app. Address that your company now sells products for a new audience, complete with a “Shop Now” button to let them know what’s available.
Video offers the opportunity to anticipate and address your audience’s needs
and give them the next step all in one place.
Boost search ads with video
According to a Google study, ad impact increases when viewers see both search and video ads. They have 45 percent higher ad recall, 43 percent higher purchase intent and 180 percent higher message retention.
When you understand how your audience is using the Internet, you can create a video campaign that complements anticipated audience behavior. Your goal is to get more people searching for and learning about your brand and/or product, which will ultimately lead to conversions.
Video and search are powerful tools for growing your audience. At Spin Creative, we’re excited to help you leverage video to help meet your goals. Say hello!
About Us
Spin Creative is a video production company and creative agency helping marketers create winning video and creative strategies that engage, inspire and activate targeted audiences. Spin is headquartered in Seattle with offices in San Francisco and London, serving brands around the globe.
At Spin Creative, we believe the most effective product stories go beyond features—they tap into a clear, emotionally resonant narrative that connects with real people. That’s the lens we brought to our collaboration with Microsoft Viva, where our challenge was clear: create a high-impact video that visually captures how Copilot AI empowers people at work.
The end result? A fully 3D-animated brand film designed to wow audiences at executive keynotes, tradeshows, and enterprise events. But how we got there is just as important as what we delivered.
At Spin Creative, we’ve always believed that the power of brand storytelling lies in connecting emotionally with real people. But as artificial intelligence transforms industries at lightning speed, many marketing and creative leaders are asking the same question: What’s next for agencies like ours—and how do we continue to drive value in this new era? Here’s our point of view: AI is a powerful new tool—but not a replacement for insight, strategy, and human connection.
In 2025, digital marketing continues to be a dynamic force—shaped by shifting consumer behaviors, ever-changing platform algorithms, and increasing privacy regulations. For brands looking to maintain relevance and performance in a crowded space, staying ahead means being strategic, adaptive, and creative. At Spin Creative, we believe that clarity in brand storytelling, paired with a smart digital approach, can help brands rise above the noise.
A great video marketing campaign doesn’t start with creative—it starts with strategy. To make an impact, your brand needs more than a beautiful video; it needs a plan that aligns with your audience’s needs, your business goals, and the right distribution channels.
