It's 2019 and we no longer simply "market" our products or companies -- we tell our stories. Your website shouldn't read like a brochure. Heck, your BROCHURE shouldn't read like a brochure! And it’s downright criminal to spend time and money on a colorful, “show-don’t-tell” Explainer video only to have the script read like a brochure.

Here's a great visual to help you get your business' storytelling right.

How Long Should Your Explainer Video Be?

This question comes up with clients as we begin every project. The answer is not a gut feeling or personal preference; it's about how long it takes to actually get the job done. Setting a specific time limit and restricting your text to it means you might not get your message across. Here's the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrox_3lMu_A&t=2s

Jeff Bezos Banned PowerPoint in Meetings. His Replacement Is Brilliant

We've been saying this for years...our brains are wired for narrative, not bullet points. While we create text-heavy decks if a client insists, we differentiate between those and a deck used in a meeting, which we call a "trigger deck": Each slide features only single phrases and large images meant to structure the conversation, not provide its content. That's for the speaker to do. https://www.inc.com/carmine-gallo/jeff-bezos-bans-powerpoint-in-meetings-his-replacement-is-brilliant.html
