Engage Video Marketing Podcast

Do you cringe when you see yourself on video or hear the sound of your own voice recorded and played back to you?

In marketing and in business communicating your message clearly, in a way that connects quickly with your ideal customer is critical, AND when we consider the massive amounts of noise online getting your message noticed is now more difficult than ever, BUT still so many marketers are continuing to push out message after message that is failing to connect, without any real clarity on why an audience should even care, THEREFORE by understanding the power of the simple ABT story framework you’ll learn in today’s episode you’ll be setting your marketing and communications up for clarity and success.Park Howell is known as The World’s Most Industrious Storyteller helping leaders of purpose-driven brands grow by as much as 600 percent.

Confidence. It’s a funny old thing… often so difficult to gain, but can be quick to disappear. You can develop it without ever realising that you have… and likewise a lack of it, can hold you back without you being conscious of it doing so. Let’s talk about confidence as a video strategist.

This episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast is a bit out of the ordinary, as recently I was interviewed by my friend and fellow video strategist over in the UK, Simon Banks. It was such a good chat that I wanted to bring it here to the Engage Video Marketing Podcast for you.

In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast, I'm going to break down for you one of the most common questions that I get when delivering completed video content to our clients. And this question is around, how are we going to actually host the videos so that we can embed them in the right places on our website? For many businesses, they immediately think of YouTube, right? But YouTube is not always the best option. So in today's episode, I'm going to break this common question down. 

In his book Endless Referrals, author Bob Burg wrote... “All things being equal, people do business with, and refer business to people they know, like and trust.”  Now, sure Bob might never have heard of the term Inbound Marketing, a phrase coined much later by Sales and Automation Company Hubspot but it’s this concept that is at the heart of what I believe fuels good marketing and business today.So what role does video play in building the know, like and trust factor in marketing… and how can business owners generate Inbound leads using video?  We explore this, and more in today’s interview.Chris van Praag is a sales consultant for top global HubSpot partner BabelQuest.

In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast, I’m going to take things back to the start and ask the question “Why have a video strategy in the first place?”As I'm sure you recognise online video is everywhere these days across all social media, in email campaigns, paid advertising, in websites, blogs and more. But when it comes to the role that online video is playing in business today, I like to break it down to these two things - democratization and overwhelm.

I’m sure we all recognise the power in humour when it comes to engaging people through video but if you’re like me, the idea of trying to be funny in a corporate video makes me cringe, as I know that although it’s incredibly powerful it’s also incredibly hard to get right.But getting this balance between humour and sales right is exactly what my guest today has achieved, and he’s built his company off the back of it.My guest today is Joseph Wilkins - Founder of Funny Sales Videos.com and Host of the podcast How to Make a Video Go Viral.Joseph Wilkins founded ProCreative Studios in 2000, an agency that produced infomercials, TV commercials and web sales videos.

How are you dealing with the data available around your video strategy? Is it a case of every now and then just opening your analytics trunk, poke around a bit, and then close it back up again? Or do you get overwhelmed by it all, and metaphorically sweep it under a rug? Or perhaps you’re handpicking a few bits of data that you can make sense of, and simply letting the rest pass you by? The fact is that understanding the data, and setting things up to effectively measure and interpret that data can be your video marketing secret weapon.

The role for video in modern business today in 2021 has never been more important. It’s no longer just about top of funnel video campaigns, advertising, and marketing with video, rather… video has become integrated into so much of the way we do business today. The way we communicate with prospects, educate our industry, and build relationships with our clients.Join me in today's episode as we explore the evolution of video in modern business today with Tyler Lessard.Tyler is VP Marketing at Vidyard where he helps sales and marketing teams embrace on-demand, one-to-one, and interactive video as a new way to connect with buyers.

What value does video strategy actually bring to the table? For a business choosing to work with a video company to produce their videos, how does the conversation change when the focus is on strategy first?In today’s interview we’ll be exploring just that.My guest today is a video strategist (and an awesome student of the Online Video Strategy Blueprint Program) who together with her husband run their own video production and strategy company based in Canada.Fiorella Cunha is Co-founder & Video Strategist at Storia Photo Video.  Where her main role is working with business owners in designing an effective video strategy which forms the foundation for all other aspects of video production and distribution.   She also manages client accounts, production schedules and works to acquire and build new client relationships. A Ryerson graduate with 22+ years of experience as a business owner, and 12 years of experience in the corporate universe prior to that, Fiorella is no stranger to the world of business, public relations, and the importance of constantly growing your client base and capturing your target audience in tailored and engaging ways. Storia’s focus today remains the client; and creating, producing, and distributing video content for businesses to help them leverage the power of video marketing.

As video producers I think it’s so important for us to realise that our clients don’t actually want a video. What they really want is the results that the right video used in the right way will get for their business.You wouldn’t board a train if there are no tracks laid, right? Or if the tracks were heading in the wrong direction!The purpose of the train to get you to a destination. The train… just like a video is a vehicle to achieve a desired outcome.My guest today is a video producer who understands the importance of this wholeheartedly… and it was this realisation that kicked off his own journey from video producer to video strategist which we’ll be exploring in today’s episode.Josh got his start in video as a photographer for a local news station in Virginia. After studying journalism and international relations at university, he began a career in marketing and rediscovered his love for video. Today he serves as the communications director for a large church in Tallahassee, Florida, where he regularly uses the unique storytelling power of video. He also operates his own company, Joshua King Media, where he helps businesses plan the video they need to get the results they want. He also hosts his own podcast, The Video Strategist, where he shares advice and best practices for growing your business with video.

In this episode we’re going to be talking about corporate videos and the stigma wrapped around it. Are you really resigned to the idea that your videos will be talking heads and b-roll, stock music and a couple of carefully placed slow motion footsteps down a corridor?Do all corporate videos basically fit the same mold?My guest today is Guy Bauer, Founder and Creative Director of Umault, an agency that makes wildly creative B2B video marketing campaigns people actually want to watch. Guy has been making commercial videos for over 20 years and is the author of Death to the Corporate Video: A Modern Approach that Works. He started the agency in 2010 after a decade of working in TV, film, and radio. Umault’s goal is to make sure an amazing product or service stands out in a sea of mediocre content. Guy believes that in video marketing, the idea is everything and his fleet of creatives and producers excels at shepherding an idea through the entire process, from concepting to scripting through to delivery of the final videos. When he isn’t helping his clients tell a story that resonates and delights while hitting all of their key messages and business prompts, Guy enjoys spending time at his home in Chicago with his two young children and kicking himself for being a Cincinnati Bengals fan.

In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast I’m sharing Part 7 of my special 7-part mini series called Video Strategy 101. We’re going to be talking about the final element for an effective online video strategy  which is… production.The final element to consider as part of an effective online video strategy is the actual production of the content.  As a video producer, it may surprise you to hear me say that this really should be the last thing to consider when defining how online video content can best reach a market and achieve a goal for a business. Too often video producers, (and often the business owners as well) get hung up on aspects of production such as which cameras or software to use, where to film content or whether to use a green screen or not. What should be done, however, is to first define the audience, goals, the content plan, the distribution and promotion strategy, how is success going to be measured and then (and only then) it should be discussed how you are actually going to film and edit the desired content.

In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast I’m sharing Part 6 of my special 7-part mini series called Video Strategy 101. We’re going to be talking about the sixth element for an effective online video strategy  which is… metrics.The only real way to gauge the success or effectiveness of an online video strategy is to measure it. This is where the real power of digital marketing becomes evident. As opposed to traditional (offline) marketing, online marketing provides access to masses of information, data and reports that allow extremely detailed insight into what activity is happening around the online video content. The critical part of defining a strategy however is in identifying which metrics actually matter.

In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast I’m sharing Part 5 of my special 7-part mini series called Video Strategy 101. We’re going to be talking about the fifth element for an effective online video strategy  which is… optimisation.Optimisation of video content is the process of ensuring that the content is found and engaged with online, and with over 500 hours of new video content being uploaded to YouTube alone every 60 seconds, being found is often the hardest part to building an effective strategy. At this point I must stress that optimisation is not the most important factor to consider to ensure that videos are getting watched, a distribution strategy will be much more effective at driving content engagement than any search engine optimisation ever will. That said, without the right optimisation strategies applied to your client’s video content they’ll be missing out on any possibility of benefit that their content strategy will bring to their brand’s overall digital footprint.

In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast I’m sharing Part 4 of my special 7-part mini series called Video Strategy 101. We’re going to be talking about the fourth element for an effective online video strategy  which is… distribution.Without distribution of your video content, your strategy will, quite simply, reach no one. Distribution strategy, however, is not simply a matter of deciding which platforms to host your videos on, or where to embed them on a website. To develop a more strategic understanding of the possibilities of content distribution we need to consider certain aspects.

In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast I’m sharing Part 3 of my special 7-part mini series called Video Strategy 101. We’re going to be talking about the third element for an effective online video strategy  which is… content.This is where you need to start brainstorming ideas for the actual pieces of video content that are going to be created within the strategy. With a strategy first perspective you’ll have a greater understanding of not only what to make the videos about but also what style of videos will best suit the strategy.

In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast I’m sharing Part 2 of my special 7-part mini series called Video Strategy 101. We’re going to unpack the second element essential to a video marketing strategy which is… goals.Without defining goals for a video strategy, you really have no chance of achieving success. In fact, without clear goals in place you really have no idea of what success actually is for your strategy or your clients’.

Let’s take things back to basics.In this episode of the Engage Video Marketing Podcast I’m kicking off a special 7 part ‘Video Strategy 101’ Series in which I’ll be breaking down an overview of the 7 elements that I believe are critical to success when planning for video marketing. Master these 7 elements and you’ll be on your way to becoming a video marketing legend for your business or your clients.The first element is ‘Audience’, and it’s all about really understanding who it is that your video strategy is intended for, and how you’ll engage them to take action in the right way.Be sure to subscribe as the next 6 episodes in this series are coming your way.Don’t forget… The Video Strategist’s Facebook group is open right now, and it’s 100% free to join.
