How To Incorporate Branded Video Content With Your Business ...
In Internet marketing, brand-building is one of the single most important things you can do.
To inspire a sale online you have to get yourself noticed by people who are actively seeking businesses like yours, and you are going to be competing with hundreds or thousands of other websites who are all offering very similar products or services. The only way you can convince people that your business is the best in your market is through brand-building.
Branded video content is one of the most effective ways of doing this. Videos marketing reach out to people, and can communicate a lot of information quickly. Like a well-produced TV advert, a good social video tells people who you are, what you stand for, and why they should do business with you? and not with any of those other guys.
The Clear Benefits Of Branded Video Content
Tell a story: More than most forms of text, video can be used to really tell a story that ropes people. It might be your company?s story, or an incident from your history, or just a story that involves your product in some way.
Link your brand to an idea: Branded video content allows you to directly associate your company with ideas and attitudes you select. Placing your brand in a certain situation will cause people to associate those things, such as beer and beach parties or perfume and foreign cities. Where you place your brand tells people a lot about how you view it and who you?re appealing to.
Spread the word: Unlike traditional advertisements, Internet video is freely spread and shared among users. Creating a branded video that people enjoy inspires them to pass it along, putting your brand in front of that many more new viewers. Incorporating apps that make social sharing easy speeds this process along!
Carve out your own space: When you?re on social media, you?re using shared messaging space where you?re automatically competing with stronger brands for attention. When you have a video on YouTube, it?s YouTube?s branding that people will see first, and you need to overcome that. Strong branded video content helps you create a space that?s ?yours? even if you?re having to share it with other brands.
Plus, on top of all that, creating branded videos is quite inexpensive, and with software and hardware rarely costing more than a few hundred dollars for a basic setup. Unlike in years past, video marketing is available to nearly any business of any size.
Incorporating Branded Video Content In Your Website
If you?re wanting to start embedding your new YouTube videos in your website and see them spread socially, here are a few important tips to keep in mind:
Don?t be heavy-handed. Sparing use of a brand is better than hammering viewers over the head with it.
Use your brand organically. You get the best response and the best recall if your brand is incorporated organically into a story, rather than being the focus.
Keep your colors consistent. From your branded videos to your website to your printed materials, keep your branding and colors consistent throughout. Consistent color schemes are one of those ?little touches? that mark a high-class company.
Make it clickable. Use plugins or software to make your brand itself clickable within the video, so that it leads to your website or Facebook page.
Building a brand online isn?t easy, but with branded video content you?ll be getting off to a great start. Stake your claim, make your business?s ideals and goals clear, and try to reach out to the customers you most want to see on your site.

Publisher Tribune emerges from four-year bankruptcy
(Reuters) - U.S. media giant Tribune Co emerged from bankruptcy on Monday, ending four years of Chapter 11 reorganization and potentially setting itself up for a future without newspapers.
Tribune's controlling owners, which include hedge funds Oaktree Capital and Angelo, Gordon & Co, and JPMorgan Chase & Co intend to sell most, if not all, of its newspapers and already have expressions of interest for The Los Angeles Times, The Orlando Sentinel and others, Reuters has reported.
For now at least, the Chicago-based company said its portfolio would include eight major daily newspapers and 23 TV stations.
Tribune's newspapers remain profitable despite the falloff in readers and advertising. Veteran newspaper analyst John Morton, President of Morton Research, estimated the Los Angeles Times could fetch $130 million at an auction, while the Chicago Tribune could garner $86 million in a sale.
Oaktree is the biggest Tribune shareholder, owning about 23 percent of the company while Angelo Gordon and JP Morgan each hold a 9 percent stake.
"Tribune will emerge as a dynamic multi-media company with a great mix of profitable assets, powerful brands in major markets, sufficient liquidity for operations and investments and significantly less debt," Chief Executive Eddy Hartenstein said in a statement.
As part of the Chapter 11 exit, the company closed on a new $1.1 billion senior secured term loan and a new $300 million asset-based revolving credit facility.
The term loan will be used to fund certain payments under the plan of reorganization and the revolving credit facility will be used to fund ongoing operations, the company said.
Tribune's most actively traded debt, a $5.5 billion loan due in May 2014, was most recently trading at 83 cents on the dollar, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Upon exiting bankruptcy, Tribune will have issued to former creditors a mix of about 100 million shares of new class A common stock and new class B common stock, and new warrants to purchase shares of new class A or class B common stock.
Hartenstein will remain CEO until the new Tribune board names a new management team. Peter Liguori, a former Discovery Communications chief operating officer, is expected to be named CEO.
The company announced a seven-person board that includes Hartenstein, Liguori, former Yahoo CEO Ross Levinsohn and Peter Murphy, Walt Disney's former top strategic planning executive.
Tribune is expected to focus on building its TV operations. In its portfolio, it owns WGN America, a national feed of Tribune's Chicago TV stations that it distributes through cable and satellite to more than 76 million U.S. homes.
Horizon Media analyst Brad Adgate said WGN could expand its base by 20 million to 25 million homes if it adds original programming to its lineup.
Tribune's TV operations are estimated to account for $2.85 billion of the company's $7 billion valuation, while its publishing assets are estimated to represent $623 million, according to a report by its financial advisor, Lazard. The rest of its value resides in assets including its 30 percent stake in the Food Network and its cash balance.
In November, Tribune received regulatory approval from the Federal Communications Commission to transfer its broadcast licenses to the owners who would take it over after emerging from bankruptcy.
Real estate magnate Sam Zell stunned the media industry when he took the company private in 2007 in an $8.2 billion leveraged buyout that burdened the company with debt and that many observers warned would be disastrous. Tribune was forced into bankruptcy in 2008.
The company's reorganization plan was confirmed by the Delaware bankruptcy court in July.
The case is In re: Tribune Co et al, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, No. 08-13141.
