Final Lessons & Homework

About this event

According to Global Statistics, the number of social media users in the US is one of the highest in the world. In 2022, there were a reported 270.1 million active social media users in the US, accounting for almost 81% of the total connected population of the US.

And video accounted for over 78% of engaged traffic in these mediums.

But does video have to be complicated to work effectively?

Have you, yourself, or anyone in your organization or team expressed any of the following statements?

  • “I’ve tried it – social doesn’t work.”
  • “Video doesn’t work — It takes too much time, and I don’t see the results.”
  • “Too many people have video, and the only things that work — babies, cats, food, and politics — are areas that don’t fit my business, so it’s a waste of time and money.”
  • “It’s too expensive to do, and I don’t have the budget for it.”
  • “It’s too difficult to do right.”
  • “I’m looking at AI options right now that can just generate and post video for me, so I don’t have to worry about it.”


It usually comes down to one of four things: time, resources, ease of production, or money. Sound familiar?

But what if we told you that with a little bit of initial preparation ahead of time, diagnosing, defining, developing, and distributing meaningful video content in a meaningful and strategic way could be simplified over time and become second nature?

What if we could show you how to reduce the number of hours, resources, and expenses you put into it?

What if those efforts could repay that little bit of blood, sweat, and tears with more opportunities for your business brand in terms of brand awareness, consumer trust and loyalty, and eventually a more dependable flow of business and growth?

Would you invest the time to learn how?


What if we told you the investment came with not only key takeaways but tangible items that help you replicate what you’ve learned PLUS a free, professionally produced, 30-second branded video of you or a team member?

What if we told you it was in-person, with actual live instructors and small business community advocates, taking place in a convenient central location, and the cost was less than a nice dinner out for you and two or three of your family or friends—or to promote your brand’s best value position?

Would you invest then?


What if I told you it was in-person, with actual live instructors and small business community advocates, taking place in a convenient central location, and the cost was less than a nice dinner out for you and two or three of your family or friends—or 1/100th of most small business marketing budgets for the year?

Our hands-on workshop will help simplify the process of mapping out and implementing video into your content strategies.

We'll share tips, tactics, and resources that empower you to use branded video content in your brand strategy this year.


BUT THERE'S A CATCH — There are only 10 seats available at this workshop.

We need to keep the workshop small to ensure we have enough time to get through all the material, record your videos, and work with each of you on your in-session projects.

What we expect to accomplish during the workshop:

  1. Map out a content strategy that makes sense for your brand and incorporates video
  2. Create a branded strategy to obtain video testimonials or case studies
  3. Record a professionally produced 30-second business video card*

*final productions will be electronically delivered at a later date in a .mp4 video format

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have special video equipment for this workshop?

No. We will be using low-tech self-producing supportive software and will have a professional video producer on-site.

Will I learn about tools I will need to use to create video?

Yes. We're going to cover different ways you can create video to use in your content strategies and various tools and resources that you can use to help you easily meet that goal.

Will this workshop be recorded or photographed?

Yes. We may be using promotional footage for upcoming workshop opportunities and marketing. You can opt out of having your face/likeness shown or your name used if you like.

If I have to cancel is the session refundable?

The ticket is non-refundable. Because the workshop has limited seating, you're committing to taking a seat that someone else may have wanted. You can, however, transfer your seat to another person.
