What are the most effective tools for promoting your brand online?
Nobody wanted to talk to me before I became a filmmaker. I had never landed more than a few thousand dollars in business. Now, I regularly charge upwards of $5k for a few days work, investors trust me with hundreds of thousands of dollars of their money, and other stuff. Anyway, the point is video is a powerful connector, but it’s also one of the easiest means of driving client action. And by easy I mean painfully hard and expensive — because it’s so hard to produce, it also stands out when it’s well done. The biggest thing I talk to my clients about is this notion that it elevates most conversations — if you have great video content to support what you’re doing, every conversation is much, much easier to navigate.
