In this episode:
Marketing, when broken down to its core idea, is telling a story to sell a product. Oftentimes, the latter half of that process is what gets emphasized. Traditional marketing can feel rote and predictable to audiences, failing to connect when it should. Meaningful storytelling in video marketing, however, can engage both potential clients and the business itself. It’s a bold change of pace that is not only compelling but also effective.
Melissa Costello specializes in these kinds of marketing videos, designed to build brands and tell their stories. She knows what works, having notable clients such as Mayor Rahm Emanuel and President Barack Obama. She recently has been focusing her award-winning storytelling on businesses, and now shares those same concepts with you.
