1. Nike Hong Kong: Time Lapse Cinemagraph

A post shared by Nike Hong Kong (@nikehkg) on

This one by Nike Hong Kong combines both a time lapse and cinemagraph technique to create something unique. The two models in the foreground lean cooly against the railing, highlighting the Nike attire, while the bustling Hong Kong street scene adds some depth in the background and to the Nike story. This is what I like to call eye-catching!

2. Desjardins: Using Cinemagraphs on Websites

 

Cinemagraphs don’t only perform well on social media; they capture attention on websites, too. In fact, cinemagraphs have proven to outperform still photos on websites. We love how Desjardins used cinemagraphs on their website to get customers to click-through and learn more about the ways young adults can become more financially independent.

3. Starbucks: Cinemagraph Surprise on Twitter

Starbucks is no stranger to digital storytelling in their content marketing or using social media to speak to their audience’s tastes directly (#PumpkinSpiceLatte). They’re definitely great at using micro-video content, including cinemagraphs, across all of their social platforms. This cinemagraph has the element of surprise. The motion is small, yet unexpected, easily capturing attention in a Twitter feed. By the way – Twitter now auto-plays and auto-loops videos under 6 seconds, which means the platform is a great place to share cinemagraphs!

And there you have it, folks! Three of the best brand cinemagraphs from the month of September. Check out what other brand cinemagraphs made the cut in our monthly roundup video below! And if we missed any, or if  you have any questions at all, let us know in the comments.
