Video Marketing
Show your business in motion. Build trust, reach new audiences, and drive bookings.
Video is now the highest-performing content format across every major platform — Google Search, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. For local businesses, a well-executed video strategy turns browsers into believers before they ever visit you.

Video marketing encompasses everything from YouTube pre-roll ads to Instagram Reels to in-feed Facebook video — and the strategies for each platform are completely different. YouTube Ads work like Google Ads for video: you target people actively searching for relevant content or browsing related channels, and pay when they choose to watch. Short-form video (Reels, Shorts, TikTok) works more like organic content distribution, where the algorithm shows your video to people based on their interests — you don't need a large following to go viral. For local businesses, the most powerful use case is often 'before and after' content (hair salons, cleaning services, fitness studios), 'how it works' explainers (dentists, financial advisors), and local atmosphere content (coffee shops, restaurants) that makes people want to come in.
How I approach Video Marketing
Video strategy and platform selection
I identify which video formats and platforms are the right fit for your business, budget, and audience — YouTube Ads, Instagram Reels, Facebook video, or a mix.
Content planning and scripting
I create a video content plan with briefs and scripts for each piece. For ads, I write scripts designed to hook viewers in the first 5 seconds and drive a clear action.
YouTube Ads campaign setup
For YouTube, I set up In-Stream or In-Feed ad campaigns with geographic targeting, audience layering, and keyword targeting to reach local customers actively researching your category.
Short-form video production guidance
I guide you (or your team) on shooting high-performing Reels and Shorts with your phone — lighting, framing, hooks, captions — so you don't need a production team.
Optimise and scale
I track view-through rates, engagement, and conversion events. Videos that perform get scaled; underperformers get replaced with new creative. Monthly reporting included.

Questions about Video Marketing
Do I need professional video equipment?
No. Modern smartphones shoot excellent video. I'll show you exactly how to capture content that looks polished — the right lighting, framing, and editing apps. Professional production is an option for hero brand videos, but most local business content works brilliantly with phone footage.
How much should I budget for YouTube Ads?
YouTube Ads can work from as little as $200–$400/month for local targeting. Because you only pay when someone watches at least 30 seconds (or the full ad if shorter), the cost-per-view is often very low. For a local service area, your ad can reach thousands of relevant prospects per month on a modest budget.
Will my Reels and Shorts get views without followers?
Yes — short-form platforms actively distribute new content to non-followers if it's engaging. Many of my clients' best-performing videos came from accounts with under 500 followers. The algorithm rewards content, not follower count.
Can video marketing work for B2B businesses?
Absolutely. YouTube and LinkedIn video ads are increasingly effective for B2B lead generation — especially explainer videos and case study content. The approach differs from consumer local businesses, but the underlying strategy is the same.
