It’s not too difficult to get your story out there.
There are myriad social media platforms that streamline your content creation process. But, with hordes of videos, blogs, tweets, Snapchats, Instagrams and updates added constantly, it’s difficult for your message to reach the surface in this sea of content.
What can a brand do to stand out? What are the secrets to finding your way into the lives of your audience? Why can a 10-year-old do this stuff better than me? These are the tough questions that struggling media marketers ask every day.
This week features the dynamic social media marketing duo of Amy Schmittauer and Vincenzo Landino.
Amy is the creator and host of the widely successful vlog, Sexy Savvy Social. To the untrained eye, her simple video format may seem ordinary, but the techniques used are remarkably powerful.
Amy has crucial advice for any blogger, vlogger, Youtuber or story marketer trying to get noticed in the cacophony of media. Amy also is the author of bestselling book, Vlog Like a Boss: How to Kill it Online With Video Blogging.
Vincenzo, the creative director of Aftermarq and host of the Brand Boost Podcast, has worked with brands to bring stories to life through creative videos. He helps organizations manifest the “start-up sexy” marketing ideology that commands total brand appeal.
