Mobile marketing for product promotion videos

Mobile video marketing – case study 01

In the video here I will find some simple tips to improve the quality of my product video presentation.
In other words, simplicity pays off. Moreover, accepting one’s limits opens up unexpected spaces for creativity.

Benefit of this strategy

A product video presentation made with a smartphone cuts costs and time.
This allows me to make several of them and to emphasize, with each video, more details and benefits of the product.

Problem with this strategy

Simple does not mean sloppy.
Using a smartphone for my video presentation can make it necessary to work more on lighting, scripting, camera movements.

The power of hidden mobile cameras

Mobile video marketing – case study 02

In its “ChooseBeautiful” marketing campaign, Dove used a hidden camera to film a simple social experiment about women and self-confidence.
Even though they didn’t use a smartphone, this kind of social test (provocation versus reaction) is a creative idea that not only mobile phones allow, but even make it easier to use.

Benefit of this strategy

Hidden cameras make your “actors” look more natural and authentic. It boosts sympathy among viewers. In the end, it lowers resistance to my message.

Problem with this strategy

Not everyone likes to be filmed secretly.
I have to make sure that I get signed consent before using their image in my video campaign.

Film moments of pure action with your cellphone

Mobile video marketing- case study 03

To celebrate its 5th anniversary, the creative studio Slash Prod made a promotional video during a half marathon.

Thanks to the use of a DJI Osmo stabiliser, it was possible to maintain the dynamism of a cross-country race without creating the effect of seasickness in the viewer.

Benefit of this strategy

The size of the smartphone makes it a camera with immense shooting potential.
Subjective, dynamic, panoramic and underwater shots are some of the possible filming techniques that only a mobile device allows.

Problem with this strategy

If I don’t have a stabiliser, which doesn’t cost much more than 100 euros anyway, the quality of the footage may not be as breathtaking.
