Video is an extremely important and integral part of modern marketing. Whether it is being used to promote your business, inform your clients or tell a unique story, the medium is so versatile that not only the delivery can vary greatly, but also the style and look!

Video has become one of the most used marketing tools for modern businesses – offering a gateway for connecting people and business. It is a very powerful way for you to communicate your value and brand and build a strong relationship between you, your customers and prospective audience. It is the most effective way to help tell your story. Video can be aligned to form an integral part of your marketing strategy.

Your video should be about the viewer

Any video you create should engage the viewer from the first second. It should also give them value and entice them to share it to other potential viewers. Keep it short and to the point. Online videos should vary between 15-30 for ads or 1 to 2 minutes for testimonials, brand videos and corporate video. People should know what your video is about immediately and how it will benefit them to keep watching.

If you engage your viewers with quality content, they will also share it with others. They will spend longer on your website and more time interacting with your brand.

Who is using video?

When it comes to reach, video is unstoppable. YouTube receives more than one billion unique visitors each month, which is more than any other internet channel, other than Facebook.

What is paid, earned, shared and owned media?

By Erica Williams • February 8, 2023

Media is complex. Much more than it used to be. Since the dawn of the internet and rise of social media, the number of media options has exploded. For a marketing manager, they are like pieces of a puzzle, interconnecting and working together. So, how does a marketing manager make the pieces form a nice, big, beautiful picture, to successfully stand out not only amongst the competition but above the vast array of media noise? American digital marketing expert, Gini Dietrich, identified four types of media: Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned. She called it the PESO model . Here we look at the four types of media. We describe and analyse each one and discuss how they all fit together.

When we launched in 2003, the trend in agencies was to provide a specialist service, like creative or media buying. But we saw the opportunity to offer full-service marketing to our clients, taking the pain away from managing multiple agencies with multiple processes. We’ve chosen to continue to base ourselves in the Macarthur region, moving to Campbelltown in our current office nearly six years ago. This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with many companies in our region including property developers, builders, manufacturers, local Councils, venues, and many more. We’ve also worked with loads of companies outside the region which is becoming so much easier with the aid of technology. We’re not just suppliers, but genuine business partners. I’d like to thank the many clients I’ve worked alongside in the past 20 years and look forward to continuing many of those relationships.
