Just love pure creativity, where ever I see.. ‘What if?’ is the magical question to create insane experiences, and then obsessive attention to detail..
reminded of the chaand/mars video we did.. imagining Indian train travellers in space.. Yashaswi Dev Devanshu Biswas .. can’t wait to jam on more such scenarios
*Spotted in a Tokyo mall, Japan is something else
LinkedIn is a video platform same as Instagram or Facebook or TikTok or Twitter.. LinkedIn is like Instagram in a suit..
your audience already has a user behaviour validated by other platforms.. your prospect.. your client on LinkedIn already uses other platforms.. it’s just that the packaging is different on LinkedIn, and never before existed a platform solely for B2B to thrive..
it’s time to focus on creating share worthy content on LinkedIn because it’s not like B2C where we are selling plane tickets.. B2B is like selling the freaking plane and instead of making five follow-up phone calls over six months..let the content do the magic for you..
When your content on LinkedIn becomes part of audience’s lives, speaks to them.. earns their shares and engagement.. it keeps your brand relevant in their life.. so when you call or reach out you’re already relevant and it’s not a cold outreach
Also it’s not about peddling your product videos as video content it’s about creating content which genuinely drives engagement.. the goal is not recall.. it’s about relevance.. it’s about keeping your brand alive in their lives and that happens with engagement the goal is not for them to see your content or get reach.. the goal is for them to save it.. screenshot it.. and share in their peer Whatsapp groups.. that’s the true goal
so if you’re still sitting on the sidelines about content on LinkedIn it’s time to wake up because if you don’t.. your competition will
Topical content may last a day or week, but this video is still circulating on Instagram, just found that it was shared by 186,000 people recently.. (https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9ohYnvvCgW/)
To create timeless content:
1.. Focus on the basics, storytelling above all else, more real it feels the better.
2.. Dive deep into audience research, get to the tiniest micro-moments and pain points. Your products solves for one pain point of the audience, for all other pain points on the orbit.. use your content to solve them, your brand exists to make the lives of the audience better, through your products and content.
3.. Create authentically, no fancy graphics were used in this video.. actual book was printed and a top shot, oh and those are my hands
Always remember: You’re creating for the audience of the client or boss, not to please them. When the audience is happy, everyone is happy – all stakeholders, the client, the boss and you.
There must be razor focus on providing value in every second to the audience. The video is made for them, and the purpose is for it to be worthy of sharing, not just watching. Sharing is the highest order of engagement for your work and skills.
So If you have a client or a boss who keeps changing the scope, align your direction with the audience because, in the long term, your skills and creativity in service of the audience will make you rise exponentially in your career.
If you keep pleasing everyone else, you’re just part of the rat race – maybe a faster rat.
