Create a Cohesive Video Marketing Strategy

Creating a cohesive video marketing strategy is the best bang for your buck.  Start-up companies frequently focus on building the biggest + best businesses, then serve it up on a paper plate.  Where’s the gold platter?

However your business came to be, you realize that it should have been built with a business plan first.  Your video marketing is no different.  Before you start creating videos willy nilly, let’s set up a template.

Your goal is to have a viewer watch your video and recognize where it came from, who made it, or “who is talking.”  Ideally, you have created a marketing position that differentiates you from your competitors.  (Most small businesses skip this step.)  To carry this “position” over to video, you’ll want to create a visual metaphor that continues your theme.

For example, Coke’s strategic marketing position (differentiator) is “Happiness.”  Visually they use smiles and sunlight to unify every video they create.  Then they make sure their titles are always consistent.
