My Personal Journey into Video

For some reason, I’ve been hesitant to dive deeper into the video realm. I tend to move around a lot in my daily work (I have a standing desk!), so the thought of confining myself to one specific area for filming felt limiting. Truthfully, that’s probably just an excuse.

I recently purchased a DJI Pocket 2 handheld camera, complete with a stabilizer, wireless microphone, and plenty of bells and whistles. Although I’m still in the process of getting everything set up, I’m looking forward to using this powerful little camera in a variety of ways and taking the leap to create more video content.

Authenticity and emotion win every time.

As you begin incorporating video into your marketing strategy, be sure to infuse your brand’s unique identity into each piece. This will help reinforce your brand message and further establish your business as a relatable, trustworthy entity in the eyes of your audience.
