Video marketing has the capacity to create a connection and tell a multifaceted story that words or audio don’t always match, however, creating content consistently has to be the one biggest takeaway from this episode.

 

I’m joined today by Nina Froriep from Clockwise productions to discuss what it takes to drive a successful video marketing campaign for a small business, why you need to be on video, what the biggest mistakes to avoid as well as some interesting tips on building self-compassion.



Tips For Successful Video Marketing Online

 

Shorter is better — 90 seconds is ideal for a marketing video, but honing your skill while working your way down from a 2.5-minute production is just fine.

 

Choosing a platform — First, find out where your potential audience goes for their information, then show up there.

 

Biggest video marketing mistakes — Inconsistency, investing in too much equipment, and being too high-concept.

 

People work with people — be authentic, talk about what you know, be consistent, and let potential customers know what it might be like working with you.

About Our Guest

 

Nina has seen it all from the early days on independent features, to big national TV commercials, corporate mega-shows, and many documentary films, including one she wrote, directed, and produced about Muslim kids in New York, called Abraham's Children. In short, there’s no film- or video-production scenario she hasn't taken care of.

 

Along the journey, she’s met many, many awesomely wonderful people and a few bad-asses. She’s worked with stars like Sophia Loren, John Malkovich, and Wynton Marsalis, she’s interviewed Fortune 500 CEOs, she’s worked on Emmy award-winning and Emmy-nominated documentaries, and produced hundreds of videos for uber-corporate shows.

 

She’s negotiated with teamsters, clients (big and small), actors, crew, children, police officers, a few dogs, and one snake.
