Social Media & Advertising
October 23, 2020
Social networks have become multimedia channels where video messages have taken a stellar role in recent years, generating more audience than other information formats.

What is Youtube? Some think that YouTube counts as a social network. Others see it more as an online video platform.
But the truth is that YouTube has two billion monthly registered users around the world and ranks as the most used online platform. This is not something that can be ignored by any brand.

Year after year we see how brands give after feet on YouTube and fail to understand that they must do things differently, from a creative point of view, in order to make effective use of this powerful channel. Until this is understood, we will continue to see fortunate phenomena that an independent producer has a much larger audience than economically powerful brands. We like that, as it places greater emphasis for success on creativity and strategy than on money.

But users often say that they are overwhelming, repetitive and irrelevant (this is the worst, we still do not understand the power of micro-segmentation).
Is there anything advertisers can do in their advertising design to improve the consumer experience?
