Why Diversity in Video Ads is a Game-Changer for SMEs
As the creative director at Envy Creative, I’ve had the distinct pleasure of producing a myriad of engaging, affordable, custom videos for local businesses right here in Simi Valley. One thing I’ve learned: neglecting to showcase diversity can be the Achilles heel of any marketing endeavor.
The business scene has inevitably evolved, so has the necessity of mirroring the world’s rich tapestry in our promotional content. I believe (now more than ever) that diversity in video ads isn’t an optional ‘bonus’; indeed, it’s a critical success pedestal for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
How It All Started: My Fair Share of Lessons
To paint a clearer picture, let’s take a step back to a few years ago. I was working with a local craft beer brewery that was keen on creating engaging video ads to boost their marketing efforts. The initial videos mainly featured the typical, archetypical craft beer consumers – middle-aged men. The outcome? Decent, but not quite groundbreaking.
Realizing we had inadvertently created a barrier, we reevaluated our approach and started incorporating a broader demo – women, millennials, seniors across different ethnicities. The outcome was night and day – higher viewer engagement, better brand positioning, and eventually leading to vast market growth for that client. That was a striking, practical lesson in the power of diversity.
Diversity in Ads: More Than Just Skin-Deep
Now, when we talk about diversity, it’s important to interpret it in a broader sense. It extends well beyond color or ethnicity, to include age, gender, socioeconomic status, abilities, lifestyle, beliefs, and even personality types. A successful ad campaign embraces this whole spectrum, illustrating its brand as relatable and inclusive.
