The midpoint of the year is more than a milestone - it’s a wake-up call. As 2025 speeds by, it’s time to assess what’s working, drop what’s not, and set smart, forward-thinking goals to finish strong. If video marketing hasn’t been your top priority yet, now’s your chance to turn that around.

1. Create “Evergreen” Explainers That Work 24/7

Video Idea: Short, polished brand explainers or product demos

Marketing Goal: Improve customer understanding, reduce support tickets, and boost conversions

Your audience has questions. Your video should answer them - instantly, visually, and on demand. A 60–90 second evergreen explainer on your homepage, product page, or YouTube channel can drive results well into 2026.

Tip: Use animation or clean motion graphics to simplify complex topics. Use simple yet professional video to detail step-by-step processes.

2. Launch a Monthly “Behind the Brand” Series

Video Idea: A recurring mini-doc or vlog about your team, customers, or culture

Marketing Goal: Build community and trust through storytelling

Today’s audiences want transparency and connection. By showcasing your team, values, or client success stories, you create human-centered content that deepens brand loyalty.

Goal: Publish at least one “authentic” story-driven video per month from July–December.

3. Repurpose Content for Shorts & Reels

Video Idea: Turn long-form videos, webinars, or podcasts into short-form clips

Marketing Goal: Increase reach, engagement, and discoverability across platforms

Short-form is still dominating TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and now even LinkedIn. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel - just reshape it.

Goal: Batch-create 10–15 short videos per month from existing footage.

4. Test Personalized Video for Outreach & Sales

Video Idea: Custom-tailored videos for leads, customers, or partners

Marketing Goal: Improve email open rates, sales responses, or customer retention

Personalized video isn’t just for B2C anymore. B2B brands are using it to stand out in cold emails, nurture leads, and even onboard clients.

Goal: Run a 3-month test campaign using personalized video. Track responses, meetings booked, and deals closed.

5. Launch a Video Ad Campaign Before Q4

Video Idea: Targeted ads on YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok leading into the holidays

Marketing Goal: Drive traffic, build awareness, and warm up leads before the end-of-year rush

The holiday season starts earlier every year. If you plan to run paid video ads in Q4, now is the time to start producing creative that cuts through the noise.

Goal: Develop and test 2–3 ad creatives by September so you're ready to scale when Q4 hits.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Just Make Videos - Measure Them

As you execute these ideas, pair each with a measurable objective. Whether it’s video views, watch time, click-through rate, or sales attribution, having clear KPIs helps prove ROI and justify further investment.
