5 ways to use B-roll clips to spice up Your Brand.
B-roll footage is a fantastic way to elevate your brand and make your marketing efforts more engaging. Once you've nailed your photos, incorporating video content is the logical next step. While anyone can capture basic footage with a smartphone, not everyone can create impactful, professional B-roll that aligns with their brand’s aesthetic and message. That’s where my brand photo + video B-roll packages come in—they include both horizontal and vertical clips that can be seamlessly integrated with your photos.
But first, let’s clarify what B-roll is. In film and video production, B-roll is supplemental or alternative footage that complements the main shots. For brand shoots, B-roll can include clips of you working, creating, engaging with clients, or even just being yourself—whether you’re looking away from the camera or directly at it like a living portrait.
Here are five powerful ways to use B-roll in your marketing toolbox:
GIFs for your Email Marketing
Transform short B-roll clips into 2-3 second looping GIFs that you can embed in your email marketing campaigns. These eye-catching animations can help grab your audience's attention and make your emails more memorable.
2. Create Video Offers in Canva
Upload your B-roll clips into Canva to create compelling video offers or quotes. Canva offers numerous video templates that allow you to design engaging social media content, enhancing the appeal of your posts.
3. Loop Video on Your Web pages.
Incorporate looping B-roll footage on key pages of your website, such as the homepage. This can instantly captivate visitors and give your site a dynamic, polished look. Horizontal B-roll clips are particularly effective as they occupy more screen space.
4. Video Pins on Pinterest
Pinterest doesn’t play audio on videos, but you can use B-roll clips to create visually appealing video pins with text overlays that direct viewers to your website or promote a message.
5. Create IG Reels or Facebook Video posts
Instagram Reels and Facebook video posts are highly effective tools for reaching and engaging with your audience. Using the in-app features, you can use B-roll footage to create captivating Reels or video posts, adding music, text, or special effects.
