What This Means For Your Tech Company

Tech companies often under-invest in YouTube because they don’t consider it a direct-response channel, they saw poor results when they repurposed videos from other social channels and published them on YouTube, or they lack resources to produce quality video content.

Our recommendation is to view YouTube as a discovery channel to grow awareness, establish authority, and build your consideration set. This is particularly relevant given YouTube’s growing influence on AI search platforms and the introduction of the “short videos” tab on Google search results.

There are nuances to YouTube – such as thumbnail design and viewing habits – that make it unique compared to other social platforms. So it’s important to devise a strategy before you begin.
