Did you know that according to Aspencore’s 2025 Mind of the Engineer survey, 43% of engineers spend time viewing online videos and tutorials to gather work-related information, while 45% prefer webinars? In fact, 80% of engineers turn to YouTube for industry updates, tutorials, product deep dives, and thought leadership content.
Results show that although engineers are less active on social media, YouTube is one exception. It is an interactive learning hub where they connect with communities, explore new approaches, and consume complex technical concepts through simplified videos and visual content. Short-form videos are also gaining traction in B2B tech marketing. YouTube’s role as a search engine, social channel, and video hub makes it a thriving space for B2B engagement with engineers and beyond.
Are you maximizing YouTube’s triple power in your B2B marketing strategy?
YouTube is a Gold Mine in the B2B Marketing Space
Since the 1940s, video advertising has been the most reliable medium for marketing. Fast forward to today, and YouTube has amplified that strength. Connecting with the target audience via the video format is the simplest and most effective way of getting your information across. YouTube, the second-most-visited website after Google, is a gold mine for B2B brands to connect with their audience.
Users come here with their search queries to learn, to connect, and to dive deep into their areas of interest. You can humanize your brand, break down complex topics, showcase real-world expertise, and build trust through your content.
Engineers don’t just gather information from YouTube; they also engage with the content, creating a direct connection with the host. Credible, expert-led videos position your brand as a trusted resource early in the buyer journey.
What is the Ideal B2B Content Strategy for Videos
Having a robust content strategy is the bedrock of successful B2B video marketing. It ensures that the right people see your videos, drive meaningful engagement, and contribute to business goals. Let's break down the content strategy into the 3:TOFU, MOFU and BOFU.
Top of Funnel (TOFU)- Aware and attract
Draw the attention of your target audience with short-form videos. You can share quick tips and insights, tease problem solutions, and discuss industry trends and news. The key is to catch your target user’s attention and initiate the customer journey. This stage involves providing videos that solve your audience’s pain points for free instead of selling. It begins the journey of fostering an emotional connection via engaging videos.
Middle of Funnel (MOFU): Demonstrating value and nurturing your audience
Engaging your audience with valuable content that does not overwhelm them is key here. Product demos highlighting benefits and features, getting started guides, use case demonstration videos, solving challenges, and providing valuable insights– such solution-oriented content establishes authority and builds trust.
Bottom of Funnel (BOFU): Deep dive and convert your audience
Giving your audience the right resources at the right time can be the key to driving conversion. Real-time presentation videos showcasing product benefits, boosting customers’ confidence by providing clarity, and addressing final queries can be persuasive. BOFU videos involve detailed technical tutorials and implementation guides, highlighting advanced features and showing detailed integration examples. Success stories and use cases also portray compelling scenarios on the product.
How does Video Content on YouTube Manage to Influence Audiences?
Easily Accessible Content to Satisfy Curiosity
Being a video content hub, YouTube is a treasure trove of knowledge, forming the perfect medium for engineers to access content that they can't find elsewhere. Deep technical dives, simplified tutorials, real-world case studies, and easy-to-digest content make the platform highly accessible. Some users may arrive with the intention of skimming content but often discover in-depth discussions that capture their interest. Such instances increase brand trust and purchase confidence by 1.2 times (Source: Think with Google).
Spoilt for Choice of Devices and Formats
YouTube enables content consumption on any device and format. Whether it is a mobile, desktop, laptop, or connected TV, the flexibility it provides is unmatched. Audiences have the freedom to pick any device to watch content.
Acts as a Social Media Platform
Handling over 3 billion monthly searches, YouTube acts as a search engine as well as a social platform that garners community engagement. Users engage with content through likes, comments, shares, and subscriptions. Engineers and tech professionals ask questions, discuss use cases, and request new features in the comments. B2B brands that respond to comments, host live Q&As, and build relationships establish credibility and drive engagement with potential customers.
For instance, NVIDIA’s YouTube channel actively interacts with AI developers and engineers strengthening its community around GPUs. These conversations ensure the brand at the centre of AI discussions.
