Thank you, clients and collaborators!  It’s hard to believe 2021 is already in the books.

Video First, Video Always: Elevate Your Video Marketing Strategy

What do we always say is the most important thing?   Breakfast. Obviously, it’s breakfast. But a close second for marketers is – and always should be – video. Now, video may not be able to satisfy a serious craving for biscuits and gravy, but it does satisfy business needs and drive real engagement outcomes. And like breakfast, video isn’t so much a thing as it is a powerful collection of elements coming together to drive results. So, whereas the first,… Read more »

Understanding the role of video in 2021

There’s an old saying that goes, “Hindsight is 2020.” You’ve probably heard it – who hasn’t? But, as we push into the second half of 2021, we might adjust it to reflect how the challenges of this past year sit comfortably in our rear view.
