The missing piece to your marketing strategy

You know how important video is to connect with your audience.

I don’t need to convince you.

The stats are all there.

Video will make up 82% of all internet traffic this year.

How do you make sure your messaging doesn’t get lost?

You’re heard? Remembered?

How will you ensure your goal – the reason you want to get a message across – comes through?

I was training the CEO of a nationally known public company this week.

He was creating a video message for his employees.

He has the fancy equipment and team.

But he was missing the right words to reach his team.

And the tone and cadence.

The pieces to really move them.

Inspire them.

Make them act.

Video is powerful.

But you’re even more powerful.

So, what could you be missing from your marketing strategy?

Authenticity.

Vulnerability.

YOU.

Without YOU, video is weak.

This goes for Zoom video meetings, media interviews, website videos, social media videos and internal videos for your employees.

Don’t leave out YOU next week.

Your audiences came to the YOU party.

They chose to work with YOU.

Don’t disappoint.

When you shouldn’t go skinny dipping…

Now, there’s nothing wrong with skinny dipping in your backyard pool… but you can get burned in places.. well, you know what I mean. No one wants that.

I had two amazing people with loads of experience to pitch this week for media interviews.

Their backgrounds are full of the expertise that should have landed them media.

The problem?

The reporters googled my experts and they didn’t have a website or any other online marketing to back up their expertise.

It’s something I had mentioned to them – but they didn’t believe me that it mattered.

Listen: it matters.

It’s like going swimming in the ocean without your suit.​​​​​​​

Here’s what one reporter sent me. I blacked out some info and names to keep everyone’s privacy.

 

This writer could have just NOT responded. Instead, she replied with WHY she wasn’t going to use my expert. She gave my client really good information that will help him ramp up and score his next media opportunity.

Are you too busy to think about all of this?

Don’t think online marketing will do you any good?

Don’t know how to update your LinkedIn?

Have no idea how to create a professional company page on Facebook or LinkedIn?

Don’t have a website yet?

Don’t think you need an updated headshot?

Seventy percent of job seekers find their next job on LinkedIn thanks to a connection they have there. 70%!

Your future customers are there too. Looking for someone just like you.

I’m here for you. Just not if you feel like skinny dipping.

Are you ready to maximize your digital brand and get media/a new job/new customers/public speaking opportunities? I have a few more openings this week for free 30-minute phone consultations. Let’s talk.​​​​​​​
