Short Form Video Landing Pages that book more discovery calls 🎥 Leading with Founder/C-Level Led Marketing and Social Proof by Transforming boring written testimonials into captivating Video Testimonials 🤩

A couple weeks ago, a client asked me "Can we have our logo and music show up for the first 5 seconds before we appear on camera, for each of our short form videos?" > Here was my answer. Me: "Why" Client: "Because we really like it, it's part of our branding, and we paid for it, so we would like to show it at the beginning and at the end for each of the short form videos." Me: "Do you know how many seconds you'll need to get your audience's attention?" Client: "Ummm, no, what do you mean?" Me: "Studies show that if the first 3 seconds aren't captivating, viewers are more likely to scroll past or click away from your video." So does it still make sense to have your logo and music play for the first 5 seconds of each video, or should your videos get right to the point?"

I feel like this goes hand in hand. Sometimes people as service providers forget that THEY are the experts. Not the other way around. Nice way of bringing it back. The reality is that as a good service provider it is our duty to tell the client sometimes: "Hey you hired us to do this because we know best how to do this!" Educational is 100% the way to go. It builds credibility along the way. Not bending a knee when you know you should not is the right play here but in a respectful way! Having the knowledge to educate instead of being snobby or coming from a higher place. Great post Jeff Giorgi!

I can think of some creative ways to have both a good hook and display the logo, but it definitely begs the question: "does it really make a difference?" Great topic Jeff!!

If it's really important, just put it at the end to leave people with a happy little tune (and your logo) playing in their head! Totally agree you have to get to the value add right away.

Definitely have to mind the line between what the client wants and what will produce the desired outcome when they’re not necessarily the same thing. Similar to what Jesse Sieff said, finding creative ways to do both makes you a rockstar.
