Creative Thought #10
🟠 Video Won't Close Your Deals
[aka here's me, again, almost shooting myself in the foot]
🔸 Content Isn’t Sales.
A great commercial doesn’t chase leads.
A powerful testimonial doesn’t handle objections.
🔸 Selling?
That’s for your SDRs.
Your Account Executives.
Sales.
🔸 Putting content in it’s right place
Content should be your company’s gravity core.
Like in space and your the star!! get it?
Video pulls.
Stirs curiosity.
If it’s great, it makes people feel like it was made just for them.
Within the first 5 seconds.
🔸 CTA
Video’s only CTA should feel like a soft magnetic field [again, star references],
welcoming the viewer to explore deeper into the company’s sales orbit.
THAT’S IT!
Stop killing it by pushing so hard.
Like some dude who's trying to impress his date by mentioning every hobby he does, then asks her immediately if she wanna marry.
🔸 Content Stages
If you ask me, you should split your content strategy into two stages:
🔸 Awareness Stage
The goal: SPARK CURIOSITY.
Make the viewer feel something.
Don't try to sell.
Here content should feel authentic, grounded, and human.
If your brand were a café, this is the part where someone walks by and sees a warm, inviting space with a quiet seat by the window waiting just for them.

🔸 Conversion Stage
Now the viewer has stepped inside.
Here, content SUPPORTS.
It’s the menu, clear and beautiful as can be.
The tone.
The atmosphere that makes people feel they’re in the right place.
If done right, this content helps the customer recognize their need and see your solution as a natural fit.

🔸 Build the Cave
So I think your creative shouldn't push.
Make it echo.
In a way that lingers in the mind, until curiosity turns to action.
