Beauty brands are finding it more effective to show their customers how to use products versus telling them. QuickFrame, a video marketing production company, analyzed the most successful marketing videos from November 2020 to February 2021, and found that consumers respond better to product-centric videos versus those with humans as their main subjects. “Just because a brand can produce video content right now with a number of people doesn’t necessarily mean that they should,” said Lucas Piazza, chief marketing officer of QuickFrame.

With the advent of TikTok and the proliferation of streaming platforms, Piazza sees the video space as only growing more in the next year. “There will be an interesting dichotomy where it’s going to be a more competitive media environment, but a greater consumer willingness to buy products,” he said. “It’s critical that beauty brands are thinking about the different ways to captivate an audience’s attention right from the beginning.” Here, QuickFrame’s top 10 insights for video marketers.
