Video Marketing For Business Course
Video Marketing For Business Course

So, if you've been paying attention to marketing stats over the last couple years you've noticed video is near the top when it comes to effective strategies and it's only getting better. You've probably decided that video would be a great direction to go in, but there's not really a clear starting place to learn how to create great video marketing strategies. That's why I developed this new course. It was made with business owners and marketers in mind. It starts from basic marketing techniques and goes on to explain the many options you have to tell a great story to your audience. Then I explain how to deliver it in a way that get's their attention. (hint: it's not whiteboard animations) This course is available now at www.makesaleswithvideo.com

🔥Added a new @thecsca #creativebest award on the shelf last night for our work on @makingmidwest

Our Story

We're a creative content agency focused on solving business problems.

There’s something you need to know about your audience. Just like you, they don’t want to be sold to as “consumers” — They want to be understood and they want to be inspired.

Just a decade or two ago, you could simply pay for air time and people would rush out to buy whatever you were selling. Since then, it’s gotten very noisy out there with everyone yelling about why you need to buy their new thing. It’s estimated that we’re advertised to up to 5,000 times per day. With all that noise, people have trained themselves to tune out traditional advertising. They’re ignoring banner ads and they’re skipping commercials. So, how do you get through to people? The answer — You have to play a different game.

We exist to help brands reach their audience by helping you fight through the noise. We don’t do it by creating more ad pollution that will just be ignored, we do it by creating content your audience WANTS to watch.
