As an online communication tool, video has arrived. Marketers are watching the tremendous growth of video sharing sites with mixed feelings: YouTube and the others are fascinating research tools, tantalizing brand messaging/marketing platforms, and totally beyond marketer control. As forward thinking brands move to enter this new space, they are finding that there's a lot to learn from the blogging world.
Brands joining the conversation successfully have learned their cluetrain lessons: transparency, authenticity, and a conversational (human) voice are critical. These core values apply to video as much as they apply to text. The companies that get it right often hire videobloggers as spokespersons, or they go a step further: they hire their customers.
At some companies, customers form a core of evangelists with whom they market. These brand communities suggest new products, test prototypes, and spread the word about new releases. As brand stewards move to provide video sharing tools to these communities, they are finding a wealth of research material, as well as authentic brand content. As an online communication tool, video has arrived.
