Fun video

January 5, 2012

Have I shown you this?  A clever client wanted to do a video because she understands that they make powerful marketing tools. She knows it’s a good way to capture a company’s vision or personality.

So much to say though. Where do you start? One nice approach is to consider a series – even just one or two.  Keep it simple. They make the best ones for watching, sharing and appreciating, anyway.  If you feel really bold and excited to show-off your widgets, or your widget designers, or happy customers — think about a whole bunch of videos. Short, pithy high-definition snippets about your widgets tell a tiny story that gives folks a taste for a little more.

We’ve got plans at Cleverhood for a whole bunch more.  Friend them on Facebook if you’re up for it. I know they’ll appreciate it. By the way, the soundtrack is from the Providence band Deer Tick, which they kindly offered as good Rhode Island buds.

How To Be a Know-It-All

June 9, 2011

Good, sweet informationThere is a torrential downpour in my office and I’m soaked in wonderful information. I’ve got insights into South Korea’s cleantech industry;  Oprah stats; breaking news, overviews, and wrap-ups.   I stumble into Boston.com and… wheeee I’m shopping (there’s that $31B online advertising market MediaPost Tweeted).  It’s Ferris Beuller’s anniversary, #Weinergate’s still trending and I’ve got Gene Kelly on the brain.

If information is power – then we are The Incredibles!

Meanwhile, my marketing colleagues are churning out lush, bountiful lists of handy tips.  How to Perdy Up Yer FacebookFive Things You Can Do with Twitter in the ShowerWhat Your Brand is Doing Behind Your Back…and What You Don’t Know About SEO This Morning!

I’m watching a webinar at 3 with Hubspot on how to get people to watch webinars.

Content is King, ladies and gentlemen.  Just wait til that iCloud releases its cleansing Monsoon of tropical exabytes.

But before you dash off, I just wanted to suggest you download my podcast on “I’m Viral, You’re Not.”  Just kidding.  Don’t click that.

Seriously, wait til you get the good news about Comcast’s secret Xcaliber – TV anywhere and everywhere, even in your underwear.  Ok, ok, I’ll stop. Don’t go.

I want to say that there is hope.  There is a ray of sunshine out there.  If you have any intention of capturing at least a smidgen of market share, or publicizing the excellent work you do, or just reaching some good ol’ fashioned customers…all you have you to do is scan this secret QR code:
