Important Takeaways
Strategy + People + Emotion = Corporate Communication Success
Strategy: every video project needs one. Do this before you start the creative process. Hold yourself accountable to it.
People: pick likable people to be in your videos. Audiences are attracted to bright personalities. Selecting the right people will make your company/organization more relatable to your audience.
Emotion: target the emotions of your audience. The bigger the emotions you tap, the bigger the success you’ll have; however, targeting smaller emotions is okay too. If you simply leave your audience feeling good about your company or product/service, that’s great! Remember, storytelling is the shortcut to the human heart.
