Video Strategy for Social Media | ÂŁ295 (or ÂŁ249 for email subscribers)
Coming soon
The Video Strategy for Social Media course is here to clarify which videos will work for you and your brand and where your valuable time and resources are best spent when it comes to creating social video content.
It is based on my years of experience in-house as Head of Video at leading UK brands, where my role was not only to oversee the creation of beautiful, on-brand content but – arguably more importantly – to strategise, test, adapt, prove and sustain the success of that video content against specific goals and targets.
This course is for you if any of these apply:
- you donât have a plan behind the content youâre putting out online
- you canât explain why youâre engaging with some video formats and not others
- you feel confused by inconsistent results with your video content
- you worry about not âmeasuring upâ with your online video content, based on your own skillset, budget or schedule
- you feel like you donât know where to start (or how to get better) with creating on-brand, quality video content
- you havenât defined what success with video actually looks like for you and your brand
Because with a solid video strategy in place, you will never again be staring at a blank page, wondering what to create. You wonât be sent back to Square One whenever a new video format, like Reels, or video platform, like Tik Tok, is announced. You wonât be fazed by blips in your stats (in fact, youâll learn here why some videos are purposefully designed to be slow burners!). And youâll be creating content which speaks to specific goals – rather than guesswork – which means youâll be better informed to measure your success.
The Video Strategy for Social Media course will run over two weeks and is made up of 6 key video chapters:
- An introduction to Video Strategy
- Understanding your goals and resources
- Two fool-proof video content verticals
- An overview of the common video formats
- Stories
- Lives
- Short-form content
- Longer-form content
- Quality control tips
- Designing a sustainable content plan
In addition to these key chapters, there will be a super-encouraging series of interviews with brands/individuals video with brilliant video strategies in action, plus live group sessions throughout the course to compliment your learning.
