ONLINE VIDEO - STRATEGY & SUCCESS

About the course


For best results, with fun exercises throughout, this is generally a two day course.

1 day course

This course is generally consumed as an efficient, presentation led, one day workshop, powering through the essential elements that can lead to success with online video strategy and publishing.

2 day course

Some clients prefer a two day version of this course that allows delegates to break up the presentation with project specific exercises that they can apply to their own content. This allows delegates to leave with not just a new skill set, but an immediate, measurable improvement to their the online video presence.

5 day course

A three day version of this course not only allows delegates to break up the presentation with project specific exercises that they can apply to their own content, but also learn how to edit and re-version video of their own specifically for each platform, for maximum audience engagement and retention.  This allows delegates to leave with not just a new skill set, but an immediate, measurable improvement to their the online video presence.

Course Summary

COURSE SUMMARY
For most of us, ‘broadcasting’ video means publishing online. But do we consider all the variables of platforms we are publishing on? Is the ‘build it and they will come’ mentality really working for us?
We need to understand who are audiences are on each platform? We need to have a bigger overall strategy for what we want our audiences to do once they’ve consumed our media?
And we really need to understand what success really looks like and how we measure it? So often companies think it’s all about clicks and sharing but that is so wrong.
This course busts the myths about online video, platform behaviour, aspect ratios, sharing and more. It looks at the important detailed considerations of video media campaigns, delves into algorithms and analytics specific to each platform.
The course shows you how YOU can take control, shape your audience and drive their online behaviour. It’s time to get more people not just watching your video, but watching it all the way through and engaging with it!

WHO’S IT FOR
This course is for anyone, from journalists to public relations, agencies, marketers, YouTubers, sales and many more – anyone who publishes video online and then wonders why the audience isn’t responding as well as they had hoped.
