As 2015 comes to a close and everyone puts together their top 10 lists (movies, books, TV shows, apps), we thought we’d join in on the action and pull together some of our favorite online marketing videos from 2015.
As usual, humorous online videos are often some of the most memorable and effective, but we also saw some great high tech, straightforward promotional videos and even emotional ones this year as well. One thing that’s for sure is that we’ve come a long way away from the typical bland and vanilla “explainer video.”
Do you have any favorites we missed? Let us know in the comments.
9 Online Marketing Videos from 2015
Poo-Pourri- “Imagine Where You Can Go”

Atmospheric string music, spare and sleek animations and great looking screenshots are able to give a “revolutionary” and dramatic feel to this complex product explained in a simple elegant way. You can’t help but say “Woah.”
Squatty Potty
Sorry for two examples of excrement-themed videos in one list, but this one was too hilarious to not include. Despite the bizarre, quirky sense of humor and visuals, this video still manages to clearly explain the problem and the need for the product. While it goes on a bit long, the jokes just keep on coming and it gets an A+ for copywriting.
Celery- Don’t Be a Pitch
This one wins major points for poking holes in the whole idea of “marketing itself,” by making fun of the market-y voice, tone and vocabulary common to so much promotional material these days.
