B2B sales messaging, visual storytelling and video scriptwriting. Stories sell!
As a professional B2B marketer, I've had to reinvent myself several times. First there was the evolution from producing offline print content (brochures, white papers, etc.) to also producing online content (websites, blogs, landing pages, demos), and having to learn the new tools and tactics (e.g. SEO) that came with it.
Then the rise of content marketing. The activities remained the same - strategy development (value proposition, target definition, messaging), content development (make sure it's relevant and useful to your targets) and distribution.
Next was social media. New tools, platforms, processes and metrics. All the while, as the web evolved to support larger files sizes, content was becoming more visual. Fewer words and more charts and images. With social, we also saw a rise in story as a vehicle for grabbing attention.
Two years ago I noticed three phenomena that caused me to reinvent myself yet again:
1. With the rise in the number of distractions (constant connection via tablet and smart phone), attention spans were shrinking.
2. Business people were (and are) BUSY. The recession reduced the number of workers at most companies, and those remaining had to take up the slack.
3. Ubiquitous broadband infrastructure (via fiber optics and wireless transmission) and screen devices (capable of receiving and rendering mulitmedia) eliminated any physical limitations to video delivery.
Video production is the way to deliver B2B marketing messages that prospects willingly consume. This time was more fun than the previous evolutions. It's also hard work - there's so much to learn regarding the technology. The most important new skill I learned wasn't technological, though... it was visual storytelling.
