    A brand’s emotional appeal begins by connecting customers and prospects to a story.  Stories pull us in and create long-lasting impressions.  Realizing this should be your motivation to start telling memorable video stories about your business.  Moving pictures and good storytelling, that’s the winning combination to create a connection with customers.

    JANUARY  NEWSLETTER

    Holiday Video

    NOVEMBER  NEWSLETTER

    Even though brands aren’t people, this time of year businesses like to show their brand in a humanized light.  Usually, it’s with a perfunctory gratitude phrase such as “Thank you for your business,” or “We are grateful to our clients.”   But when pleasantries are automated, the sentiment carries little meaning.

    OCTOBER NEWSLETTER

    The single most important content marketing strategy today is video. Basically, video advertising has transformed the medium from a singular marketing tactic to a complete business strategy.

    Whether you’re using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, video has revolutionized marketing. In your Autumn seasonal marketing mix, do you include short, compelling story movies about your business?  The immediate engagement and accessibility of such videos is the way forward to attract new clients or donors.
    TIP:  Make Them Worth Watching

    This is an important tip that is often overlooked. True branded videos are going to be interesting, informative or some combination of both to offer value for viewers.  Just because you’ve commissioned a video doesn’t guarantee it will be fresh, not standard.

    SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER

    How can businesses learn from royal branding?  Use the power of visuals regularly and strategically.   Video and photography posted online can be strategically planned to humanize your brand, soften your image and make it more acceptable and accessible to your customers and prospects. 

    Video is the powerful way to control and humanize how you are relevant, responsive and respected in your industry. 

    Example:  We produced this short video for a Congressman that humanizes him and staff and shows they are accessible, relevant, responsive and respected.

    VIDEO REMEDY FOR THE GREAT RESIGNATION

    An unprecedented exodus of workers from nearly all industries designates 2021 as the year of “The Great Resignation.” In August alone, 4.3 million–nearly 3% of the workforce–quit their jobs according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    A video that doesn’t succinctly define a problem, challenge or need in the opening is not answering “why” — why viewers matter to your agency or company and why they should want to watch.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS

    In storytelling, a video that doesn’t succinctly define a problem, challenge or need in the open is not answering “why” — why viewers matter to your business or nonprofit and why they should want to watch. If the why isn’t compelling and clear, they will click away after 10-15 seconds.

    One common mistake is opening a video with a long series of still pictures without any text or narration explaining them. Even if accompanied by good music, without the important information added, viewers will not be enticed to stay till the end. They need a compelling reason to engage with your video.
