Why a Video Workshop?

 

Call it content marketing or branded content; video content is all about storytelling. The story of your products, services, business history and your board, The purpose of content creation is to help your company to stand out from the crowd, be seen as the ‘go to’ people for useful, current and engaging information. Together, through this workshop we can clarify who you want to speak to and what you want to say and most importantly, what is the story you want to tell.

 

Video used to be seen as the poor relation in marketing. It would be commissioned only if there was any money left in the annual budgets. Things have now changed and video must be a fundamental part of your planning. It allows your brand to be on different platforms and shared by different organisations, and as they share your content, your reach increases worldwide. While ad hoc tactical video has its place, working strategically with video is cost effective and sensible. It allows you to produce content that has longevity, can be versioned and updated easily online today and into the future.
