The biggest draw in marketing online has undoubtedly been digital video, with digital video production playing a key role in creating engaging content that captures attention.<\/p>\n<p>Some pertinent stats from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/solutions\/service-provider\/visual-networking-index-vni\/index.html\">CISCO Visual Networking Index forecast <\/a>sheds light on the Internet&#8217;s popularity in general, and of videos in particular:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cBy 2020, there will be nearly 4.1 billion global Internet users (more than 52 percent of the world&#8217;s population), up from 3.0 billion in 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Globally, IP video will represent 82 percent of all traffic by 2020, up from 70 percent in 2015.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Video production has been turned on its head in the age of the internet, with marketers thinking way outside the box for content and presentation. Digital video production has become a crucial part of this evolution, offering endless possibilities for creativity and innovation. Toolbox Studio brings to you some of the most stellar.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Seven winning digital production ideas<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>The value &amp; emotion based campaign <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Budweiser have been promoting their <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PxJjyNfgv9I\">#BestBuds campaign<\/a> for the last two years and more now. Built-around the theme of friendship, the campaign only has the loosest connection to the brand&#8217;s product. After all the only parallel is that the campaign is called \u201cbest buds\u201d and people often refer to a Budweiser beer as \u201cbud\u201d in common parlance. However, the ad reflects the ethos of camaraderie and values of friendship, and that too through an absolutely adorable protagonist and a narrative that will definitely tug the strings of your heart. This digital video perfectly captures the essence of storytelling without overt branding, making it a powerful example of emotional marketing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PxJjyNfgv9I\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/PxJjyNfgv9I<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>The quirky animated campaign <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Australia\u2019s Metro Trains Melbourne wanted people to be careful around trains and train tracks but knew that preaching through a boring safety video wasn\u2019t the way to go about it. Instead, they created a digital video with catchy music and a humorous (and slightly dark) theme \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IJNR2EpS0jw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dumb Ways to Die.<\/a> The animation features characters comically dying in absurd situations, reinforcing the message that while there are many ridiculous ways to die, failing to be cautious around trains is one of the most preventable. This campaign proves how creative digital video production can turn a serious message into an engaging and viral sensation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dumb Ways to Die\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IJNR2EpS0jw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>The &#8216;no-commentary&#8217; ad campaign <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Android launched their <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vnVuqfXohxc\">Friends Furever campaign<\/a>, quickly becoming one of the most popular online digital videos in the last year. The message, \u201cBe Together. Not the Same.\u201d was conveyed through adorable and unexpected animal friendships\u2014without a single word of voice-over or sales pitch. The approach may seem unconventional, but it resonated with audiences and became one of the most shared videos in 2015. This campaign showcases how digital video production can evoke emotions and deliver a strong brand message without direct promotion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vnVuqfXohxc\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/vnVuqfXohxc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>The shock value campaign<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Fanpage. It created the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/b2OcKQ_mbiQ\">\u201cSlap Her\u201d video<\/a> where kids in Italy were asked a few questions, then introduced to a young girl. When instructed to caress her or make a funny face, they complied. However, when asked to slap her, they hesitated and refused. The campaign leveraged digital video to deliver a powerful message\u2014domestic violence has no place in a child\u2019s world. The video quickly gained traction using shock tactics and raw reactions and became a widely discussed social commentary.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u201cSlap her&quot;: children&#039;s reactions\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b2OcKQ_mbiQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>The inspiring campaign <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Fitness is all about motivation, and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/bcJGh32e2Mw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reebok\u2019s 25,915 Days campaign<\/a> embodies this inspiration theme.

In this particular specimen, the \u201cInner Thoughts\u201d video, it shows what women are thinking while working out, and inspires viewers to get over their hang ups about workouts through a series of funny observations.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nike Women - Better For It - Inner Thoughts\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WF_HqZrrx0c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>The campaign that leverages pop culture <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Hanna-Barbera&#8217;s The Jetsons cartoon is a pop culture icon.
