Less Freedom of Action for Video Advertisers

Many analysts believe in Trump’s effort to limit the freedom of speech in media and press by suing the journalists who gave him a lot of trouble during the election campaign. Some even say that this will be a key priority of his presidency (which is unlikely). However, despite Trump’s claims, Dick O’Brien (the representative of American Association of Advertising Agencies) believes that “…we in business can expect a more beneficial treatment than we might have had dealing with Secretary Clinton.” Trump is an entrepreneur, and perhaps he will be more loyal to the business and advertising sectors. But his own words contradict this so far.

Increasing Advertising Costs?

Marketers argue on this. The fact that Trump wants to change the tax laws, which will affect the entire economy, including the advertising business and video production. Rino Scanzoni argues that advertising spending will increase as long as Trump continues on a clear course of action in relation to the tax code. It only remains to be seen what the next decision of the president elect will be. But in any case, the pricing of advertising will change.

Further Popularization of Social Networks Video

Donald Trump’s website has widely shared video content that has the largest index among all candidates. His video content on YouTube also showed the best performance. At the same time, his election campaign was not staked on Pinterest (unlike Clinton). Where does it lead? By taking the pre-election strategy of Trump as an example, video marketers will continue to rely on social media, focusing on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter for video promotion. The newly elected president has confirmed the effectiveness of the use of video in social networks once again. Here is a truly a brilliant piece with some stats and examples:
