Even if you haven’t used an electric scooter yet, you’ve likely seen one on the street and been curious about them—and GOTRAX is using video marketing to show you exactly how fun they can be. 

They’ve also implemented an effective voiceover, which explains how their products differ from competitors. By showcasing their products and happy customers, they’ve created an appealing visual element to make potential customers want to learn more about the experience. 

Plus, by combining the visuals and the voiceover, this video creates an emotional response for the audience. Between the smiling people in the video and the optimistic voiceover, GOTRAX is aiming to leave viewers feeling happy—and inspired to go to their website. 

This video is clearly focused on acquiring new customers and marketing their available products. If you can focus on your goals throughout the entire video production process, you’ll be able to spend more time creating video content rather than worrying about smaller details.

Quay 

Anatomy of the Video

Style: Short-Form Ad 

Industry: Fashion and Apparel 

Platform: TikTok

Elements: On-screen text, voiceover, social media trend 

Objective: eCommerce and Brand Marketing

Turnaround: 2 weeks

Analysis of the Creative

Quay is taking note of the “morning routine” social media trend and using it as an opportunity to show off their products through a UGC-style video. 

Through this fun and relatable content type, the actor shares footage from different moments in their day—including getting ready, going to the gym, and having a meal—and then discusses how Quay products fit into those experiences. Even though the actor doesn’t try on every pair of sunglasses, viewers can still get a glimpse into other product options from the brand. 

By seizing the opportunity of a relevant trend, this content will seem like a standard TikTok video, rather than an ad. With this strategy, Quay hopes to gain the attention of a wider audience, showcase their products, and grow their brand across social media. 

Though this is a successful example, remember: not every trend is for every brand. Before jumping on a social media trend, make sure it aligns with your brand’s values, goals, and objectives.
