Spin Creative • May 25, 2023

Thought leadership is a crucial strategy for brands looking to build their reputation in the market, and it involves more than just promoting your products or services.

It involves creating content that's educational, informative, and engaging, establishing your brand as an industry expert worthy of trust and attention. 

 

One effective way to achieve this is by using video. Read on to discover how brands can leverage the power of video to bolster their thought leadership and achieve their marketing goals.

 

1.    Use Video to Build Trust

One of the primary benefits of thought leadership is that it helps brands build trust with their audience. Video content is a powerful tool in achieving this because it's more engaging and memorable than written content. 

 

By creating informative and educational videos, you can establish your brand as an expert in your industry, helping your audience move through the sales funnel. Whether it's a product demo, a how-to guide, or a webinar, video content can help build credibility and increase trust with your audience.

 

2.    Use Video to Build Engagement

Another way to bolster your thought leadership is by creating video playlists that keep your audience coming back for more. By creating a series of videos that address different topics related to your industry, you can keep your audience engaged and informed. For example, if you own a skincare brand, you could create a series of videos on topics like "how to choose the right sunscreen," "the benefits of using serums," and "common skincare mistakes to avoid." This approach not only keeps your audience engaged but also demonstrates your brand's expertise in the industry.

 

3.    Use Video to Stay on Top of Your Audience's Mind

Creating a series of videos is not only an effective way to engage your audience, but it also helps you stay on top of their minds. By regularly posting videos on your social media channels and website, you can ensure that your audience is always thinking about your brand. Video content is more memorable than written content, making it easier for your audience to recall your brand when they need your products or services.

 

Essential Thought Leadership Strategies

 

In addition to using video, there are other strategies that brands can use to bolster their thought leadership. One important strategy is answering the expected questions of your audience. By creating content that answers your audience's common questions or addresses their pain points, you can establish your brand as an expert in your field. Consistency is also key, so brands should commit to regularly posting content on their website and social media channels to keep their audience engaged and informed.

 

Establish trust and credibility by becoming a thought leader

 

Video content is a powerful tool for brands looking to establish themselves as thought leaders in their industry. By creating informative, engaging videos, brands can build trust with their audience, keep them engaged, and stay top of their minds. 

 

When combined with other thought leadership strategies like answering the expected questions of your audience and posting content regularly, video content can help brands achieve their marketing goals and grow their business. Say hello to Spin Creative.

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.
