How to Promote Your Videos on Social Media

[How to Promote Your Videos on Social Media: Transcript]  Something that is often overlooked when people start creating digital content is how they’re going to buildup an audience for it.

Thought leadership marketing isn’t a “build it and they will come” situation. You need to offer real solutions to real problems or challenges.  You have to leave the viewer with something valuable they didn’t know before they watched your video.  And your work isn’t done after you posted the video, either.  Try promoting your videos through boost campaigns.  And post them anywhere your target audience spends time.  Make it easy for them to find it.  Don’t be passive and hope people see it – be active and make it hard for them NOT to see it.

So let’s say you’ve already gone through the process of creating a great video that you know speaks to your target audience.

Know Your Audience

First, determine the best platforms to share this content. I’m a proponent of posting video assets on as many channels as possible. But I also believe in only leveraging channels that will reach your target audience. Personally, I create my videos with my LinkedIn audience in mind. Why? Because I know that’s where the audience I want to reach will see them.

Stay Active Online

After posting the video, the next step is to engage with your audience.  It can’t just be you posting content and then ignoring it. All relationships are reciprocal. So if someone in your network comments on your video, be sure to reply.  Every unanswered comment is a lost opportunity to engage with a prospective customer.

Ask For Help

Another successful tactic, especially if you’re new to put out content, is asking contacts you know well to like, share and comment on your posts. It could be friends, clients, work colleagues – anyone that would love to help you.  Just make it easy for them.  Share it with a note asking them to check it out. Their engagement will expose your content to a wider audience while you slowly build an audience of people interested in the topics you’re an expert in.

In summary: decide what platforms are a priority, start cultivating relationships on that platform, and don’t be scared to ask for help. Focusing on these three simple tactics will help you build a following.

"Volunteer advocates are at the heart of Diabetes Canada’s efforts to bring about positive change. They represent the voice of the 11.7 million Canadians living with diabetes or pre-diabetes and speak for those who cannot speak up for themselves. Advocates help raise awareness of diabetes and the daily burden of living with the disease. They participate in Diabetes Canada advocacy campaigns and events across the country, and they help influence public policy by building relationships with elected officials in their ridings and promoting Diabetes Canada’s policy recommendations through their personal and professional networks. To support and grow this vital community, Diabetes Canada launched a new advocacy training series designed to make it easier than ever for people to get involved: Speak up & speak out Getting involved is easy Introducing Diabetes Advocacy 👉 Watch the videos and learn more here: DIABETES CANADA Bringing Advocacy to Life With Video Arc + Crown Media partnered with Diabetes Canada to help bring this important advocacy training to life through strategically designed animated videos, we helped make the training: 🎥 Clear and accessible Animation helped break down complex concepts into simple, visually engaging sequences, so viewers instantly grasp key ideas — like what advocacy is, how it works, and how they can participate. 📈 Action-oriented and motivating The pacing and progression were intentionally structured so someone watching could move from curiosity to confidence — ready to take action.

Video marketing continues to be a powerful way for professional services businesses to build relationships, communicate value, and connect authentically with potential clients. With more companies competing in digital spaces, your content must be thoughtful, professional, and designed to both engage and convert. Whether you're in accounting, law, consulting, or IT services, here are ten updated video ideas to help you stand out and strengthen your corporate communication strategy this year. 1. Launch AI-Driven Personalized Video Ads AI personalization is transforming video marketing. Create short, targeted video ads that adapt messaging based on viewer behavior or segment (e.g., small business owner vs. CFO). These videos perform well on platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, and they can be dynamically inserted into email campaigns or websites for maximum ROI. 2. Share Modern Client Success Stories Customer success stories are still gold—but in 2025, authenticity and storytelling are key. Focus on emotional storytelling and results-driven narratives. Use cinematic techniques, remote video capture tools, or even augmented reality (AR) elements to immerse viewers in your client's journey and how your service made a real difference. 3. Create Explainer Videos with a Corporate Edge Explainer videos remain essential but should now reflect your brand’s tone and professionalism. Use sleek motion design and branded templates. Consider producing industry-specific explainer series (e.g., “Tax Tips for Startups” or “Data Compliance for SMEs”) to demonstrate thought leadership and value. 4. Build Interactive Tutorial Videos Interactive video is a rising trend in corporate training and communication. Add clickable elements, branching scenarios, and built-in assessments to make tutorial videos more engaging and trackable. These are ideal for onboarding clients or guiding them through digital products and service platforms. 5. Live Stream Webinars and Internal Events Livestreaming isn’t just for public webinars anymore—use it for internal comms too. Broadcast leadership updates, town halls, or team celebrations. For external use, stream panels, roundtables, or client Q&As. Tools like LinkedIn Live, Zoom Webinars, and even custom internal platforms support high-quality broadcasts with audience interaction. 6. Use Animated Videos to Break Down Complex Topics Animation is now essential in simplifying corporate messages—especially in finance, legal, and tech. In 2025, use animated explainers not just for customers, but also for internal education, investor relations, or recruitment. Keep visuals clean, inclusive, and on-brand for professionalism and impact. 7. Create Motion Graphics for Microlearning Motion graphics videos (15–60 seconds) are great for sharing insights, facts, or step-by-step guides. These snackable videos are perfect for internal communications, compliance training, or highlighting service stats on social media. Add subtle kinetic text and icons to maintain clarity without overwhelming the viewer. 8. Design Data-Driven Infographic Videos Combine data visualization with narration or music to tell data-rich stories. Whether it’s market trends, client stats, or industry benchmarks, infographic videos are now expected in quarterly reporting, ESG updates, and performance reviews. Embed them into presentations or share as social content. 9. Showcase Company Culture with Behind-the-Scenes Videos Today’s clients and talent want to work with values-driven firms. Culture videos are now strategic. Highlight diversity, inclusion, leadership philosophies, or sustainability initiatives. Follow team members through their day, show off your remote or hybrid culture, or highlight community outreach projects. 10. Launch a Thought Leadership Video Series Create an ongoing series where your executives or subject matter experts share insights on current industry challenges. Use short episodes (2–3 minutes) with strong branding, intro/outro music, and subtitles. This builds credibility, boosts SEO, and aligns with 2025’s demand for expert-led content over pure advertising. Video is no longer optional—it’s an essential tool in both external marketing and internal corporate communications. From personalized outreach to interactive client education and internal alignment, businesses in 2025 that leverage strategic video content will lead the conversation and capture more attention. Start with one or two of these video strategies and scale from there. With the right message and format, video will not only help you generate leads—it will elevate your professional brand and deepen relationships in every direction.
