Making video content is like putting money into something. You should get something you can measure back. Many companies focus on making their videos look really good. What really matters is how well the videos help the company achieve its marketing goals, get people interested, and motivate them to take action. At Blazer Video, we see this happen a lot. Companies make videos that look great. They do not do very well because they did not have a good plan, did not show them to the right people, and did not keep track of how they were doing from the very beginning.

Social media video content includes any short- or long-form visual content created to inform, persuade, or entertain audiences on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Recent analyses show video now represents the largest share of social traffic and consistently outperforms static posts for engagement and conversions, so a focused social media video strategy is essential for growth. In this guide, we explain how video expands reach and emotional impact, which platform formats to prioritize, the trends shaping social media videos, and how to measure ROI with clear KPIs and analytics workflows.
