Lights, Camera, Action! Video Production 101

Back in the day, we used to have brick and mortar retail stores, where organizations were able to connect with people on a personal level. They would have two minutes to market their products in person—we don’t have that luxury anymore. With prospects moving towards an “If I can’t see “it” then “it” doesn’t exist” mentality, and brick and mortar stores fading away, how do organizations connect with prospects on a personal level? How do they cut through the noise of all the other offers out there to prove that “it” exists? With Video!
