The festive season is upon us, with only a few days until Christmas. Let’s take a look at some of the best Christmas adverts this year!
Aldi returns with Kevin the Carrot!
This year Kevin teaches lessons of joy and goodwill to boring, rude Banana Scrooge. The animated advert features a cameo from a footballer, Marcus Rashford, or should I say Radishford! This year Marcus helped feed hungry children up and down the country, so it only seemed right to include him in the heartwarming ad.
You can also notice the fun poke at rival M&S, after the caterpillar cake incident this year. You can see him being arrested by two police lemons!
No Celebrations for the lonely Bounty…
A more comedic advert as opposed to the tearjerkers, but it can’t help make you feel sorry for the Bounty bar! It tells a story of no one liking the Bounty bar on a dating site or at a singles’ night. But in the end, he finds his perfect match with a not-so-favourite Christmas vegetable, a Brussel Sprout. We really like this comedic advert by Celebrations.
John Lewis, the one everyone has been waiting for.
A young boy teaches the joy of Christmas to a young alien called Skye after her ship crashed on Earth. He takes her through all the traditional festive period activities, including showing her how to eat a mince pie. Where she proceeds to eat the tinfoil, then is immediately told not to, which made viewers chuckle.
Whilst it is a lovely advert, many people were let down by it, multiple said it hasn’t met their expectations. What do you think of it?
Consequences of the pandemic with Amazon
Amazon celebrates love and kindness this year. Soundtracked by Adele, with her new song ‘Hold On’
They show a woman noticing her younger neighbour, who seems to be dealing with anxiety after the global pandemic, due to COVID19. She shares a smile with her whilst she feeds the birds, which leads to her gifting her neighbour with a bird feeder of her own. Showing how small, yet, effective acts of kindness can be.
Frozen in time
This year Sainsbury’s advert shows everyone back together for Christmas, with a freeze-frame. In this freeze frame, they travel through Christmas in everybody’s eyes including; eating Christmas dinner, the tired family members and the children playing. It is a really cool and different way to capture every family members ways of spending Christmas Day.
That concludes our list of favourite Christmas adverts from 2021, let us know your favourite ones below!
If you thought TikTok was just a kids app for dancing, you’re wrong! TikTok marketing has so much potential for you and your business. It is one of the best platforms to grow as you get a fair shot at being in the algorithm.
This is on people’s ‘FYP’ aka For You Page, which is the equivalent of a newsfeed but custom videos for you. Recently, if you haven’t seen, brands have been taking TikTok by storm!
Corporate TikTok Marketing trendsetters…
Popular European airline company RyanAir has really set the lead for other businesses on TikTok. Over the past year they have gained 1.2M followers and over 34M likes. You’re probably thinking, how did they do this? Using new, fun marketing that is on trend. Opposed to your standard corporate marketing, that is quite dull and to the point.
A famous video format for them is putting their face onto an airplane and pretending that the airplane is a character. It has also become a big thing as people want to know who the admin behind the TikTok is. However, they are yet to come forward. They match this format with popular, trending sounds on the app to formulate the perfect outcome.
Gain a worldwide fan base…
Putting views and likes aside, the comment section of their TikTok’s are something else, in a good way. They have won so many people’s promised custom from these videos, even people outside of Europe are jealous, especially those in America.
People want to be noticed by the admin in the comments constantly, so everyone comments in hopes they will also get a reply, i’m not joking when I say this admin is an internet celebrity!
Not all comments are great, which RyanAir takes to an advantage by bantering with them back, showing they are self-aware and not completely shutting someone down publicly. Which has also them been recycled into TikTok content for them, via various trends. So overall, RyanAir has been killing it on TikTok!
Get with the times, start your TikTok venture!
Coming off from this, it is wild to look back and see how much corporate marketing has changed, from even two years back. If you told me RyanAir would be making TikTok’s as such to promote their brand, I wouldn’t have believed you. But times are ever changing and brands need to start thinking about how to target their ideal audience. Using each platform to identify what works, something on Facebook could be unsuccessful if posted on Twitter for example.
I strongly suggest you start using TikTok to advertise your business on, take inspiration from RyanAir, look at the latest trends, songs and sounds going around and utilise that for your marketing. Like I said earlier, you also get a fair shot at being on the FYP. Which is great for organic growth, as long as you remember to hashtag it #FYP! Have fun on your new TikTok venture and don’t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to your social media branding!

You’ve created the perfect video and have added it to your website and all your social media channels… what next?
You’ll want to see how your video is performing. For example, has it encouraged anyone to like your social media profiles, visit your website or ask for a quote?
Here are four of the best ways to help you see if your video is doing well.
Number of views
The most straightforward metric of all – the number of views shows how many times people have seen your video. It can be an easy way of seeing how far your reach is.
Bear in mind that a view doesn’t necessarily mean someone has watched your whole video. For example, in YouTube, a view is logged once someone has watched 30 seconds of a video. In Facebook and Instagram however, a view is tracked when a viewer is three seconds in!
This can make the next metric all the more useful…
Watch time
How much of your video are your prospective customers watching?
This metric will show how much of your video your viewers see before they go off and do something else.
A high watch time is a good sign that people are loving your new video. Conversely, a quick drop-off rate means that some people may be finding your video boring or too long-winded.
Our top tip – put your most valuable information at the start of your video. That way, if viewers stop watching, they’ll still have seen your key message!
Likes, shares and comments
Measuring the number of likes, shares and comments your video receives can help you see if it is resonating with your target audience. The more social engagement and shares you receive, the more people are talking about your video.
Remember to reply to any comments made, whether they are positive or negative. Social media should always be a two-way channel of communication.
If you have Google Analytics installed and have goals set up, you can use it to see how many people visited your site through one of your videos. You can then see if they requested a quote, clicked on an email address, signed up to your newsletter or bought one of your products.
Conversion rate can be a bit of a tricky metric to calculate, but it can be one of the most helpful as you can see how much money you are making from your videos!
Don’t forget to set your goals!
Before you start tracking metrics, be sure to put goals in place. This will give you something to work towards when measuring your video analytics
Don’t forget, if you are looking for a video that will inform, entertain and most importantly… engage your customers, we’re here to help.
How can I make a low-cost video?
When you run a business or oversee a marketing department, you want to do all you can to make every single penny count.
What if we told you that you can create your own videos, even if you’re on a small budget?
Here are some ways you can create inspiring B2B and B2C videos without breaking the bank.
Film with your phone
A professional video camera can cost upwards of £1,000, but did you know that you already have a great video-making device in your back pocket?
Modern-day smartphones are more than capable of creating high-quality video and photo footage. For example, a smartphone camera from the year 2000 had a resolution of 0.11 megapixels. Twenty-one years later, you can buy a phone with a 108-megapixel camera, an increase of over 9,8000%!
Not only can you record footage on your phone, but you can edit it too. You can use many free apps to stitch together videos, add sounds, and create special effects.
Use content you already have
Upcycling is on-trend at the moment, and the great news is that you can recycle your existing photos and video footage to create new content.
Look at your photo drive and see what you already have. For example, you can take photos that a professional photographer took and put them together to create your own low-cost video.
Plan ahead
You may be eager to get out there and start filming. Before you begin though, sit down and think about what you want your video to achieve.
Do you want to raise awareness of your brand, promote a new product or service or encourage prospective customers to complete a specific goal? Knowing what you want your outcome to be will help you create your content.
All videos need a start, a middle and an end, so think ahead about what you want to talk about in your video. The more organised your footage, the more likely viewers will react positively to it.
Remember the five Ps: “Prior planning prevents poor performance!”
Live videos and streaming can be an exciting way to reach out to new customers if you are on a budget. You don’t need to spend money on fancy cameras or editing – just get out your phone and start filming!
Remember that quality counts when it comes to creating videos
Even though it is possible to make a low-cost video that will appeal to your customers, sometimes investing in your video creation can make all the difference.
Using a company to plan, film and edit your video will result in a well-made, well-thought-out piece of footage that you can use in the months and years to come.
Think of your video as a return on investment for your business. The sales you make off the back of your brand new content will pay for it several times over!

New to the world of video marketing? Here are three of the reasons why you should be using it to help move your business forward.
1. People like watching videos
If you had to learn about a topic, would you prefer to go through a long-winded 2,000-word article, or an informative and fun five-minute video?
People enjoy watching videos as they are fun to watch, simple to understand and can be easily consumed on mobile phone or tablet. An incredible 98% of users advise they have watched an explainer video to find out more about a product or service.
2. You can incorporate videos into all of your other marketing channels
An advantage of a high-quality, well-thought-out video is that you can use it across all of your marketing channels.
You can upload it to social media, you can add it to your website… you can even use it as part of your pay per click advertising campaigns!
Videos work especially well on social. 93% of brands have said that they have got at least one new customer off the back of a video on their social media profile.
With a video, you won’t have something that you can just use once; you will have something that you can repurpose and use again and again!
3. You can use videos to boost your rankings in the search engines
Search engines like Bing and Google like to link to video content.
What does this mean for your business? It means that any videos you create are more likely to rank at the top of the search results, increasing the odds of people finding out more about you.
Plus, as an added bonus, the second most popular search engine in the world after Google… is YouTube!
Creating video content for your website has a wide range of benefits. You can increase brand awareness, grow your leads and increase the time prospective buyers spend on your site.
However, did you know that videos can help boost your search engine rankings too, making your site more likely to be found? Let’s look at how videos can improve your SEO.
What is SEO?
SEO is short for ‘search engine optimisation’. It’s when you optimise your website content so that you appear higher in search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo.
When people search for specific keywords on search engines, you want your website to appear as close to the top of the search results as possible, ideally on the first page.
In fact, the top five results on the first page of Google account for two out of every three clicks!
Three ways how videos can boost your SEO
Now that you know what SEO does, you’ll want to see how a good quality video can help get you to the top of the rankings.
Here are three ways that a video can help with search engine optimisation.
1. Video increases the amount of time people stay on your website.
The amount of time visitors spend on your website is a positive ranking signal for SEO. This means that the longer people stay, the more likely the search engines will think your site is a good source of information.
It’s essential to make any videos you create as interesting as possible – you want to hold your visitor’s attention as long as you can.
2. Video increases the odds of backlinks.
Backlinks are another way that you can improve your SEO. When other high-quality websites link back to you, it’s a sign that your site is a trusted source of information.
With an entertaining or informative video, you provide value to other sites and increase the likelihood of them sharing your content with their own visitors.
Adding share buttons on or next to any videos you create makes it easier for people to promote your content.
3. Search engines prefer to link to video content.
Both Bing and Google have separate tabs for video content, meaning that with a video, you’re more likely to show up in the search engines!
If you have a video on your page, Google will add a short snippet to go alongsideyour page listing, making visitors more likely to click.
Our top tip… did you know that YouTube is the second most popular search engine in the world after Google? Upload your video to YouTube for increased visibility!
