Matching Creativity to Clients

Matching creativity to clients

A video is, by definition, a creative process. It’s turning an idea, a thought or a message into something informative or entertaining; that is simple to understand and unambiguous; and most important, gives an accurate representation of your company.

It can be a tough ask to turn a subject such as expense budgeting into a series of videos that are not only compelling to watch, but also educational. The creative process means thinking outside the subject, taking clues from the language used, and, perhaps, most importantly, understanding the client and the audience and knowing just how creative they want to and can be.

FOMO? WTF?!

One white-haired elderly lady has caused a sensation. Pictured at the premiere of Johnny Depp’s latest film Black Mass, this lady was the only one in the crowd not watching the event via a smart phone or iPad. She stands out because she is the only one actually living the event and not recording it.

Soon-to-be defunct band One Direction recently played six sold-out nights at London’s O2 arena. The entire crowd around me were all using their smart devices and all suffered from the same affliction – FOMO – the Fear of Missing Out.

Should you watch video at work ?

As a boss, you make a contract with your employees. You will pay them as long as they do the work you ask them to. So it seems logical to remove any distractions or diversions in order to ensure maximum productivity. And if you subscribe to that theory, then blocking certain websites will improve employee output.

And if you run the IT department, blocking websites is one guard against unwittingly allowing viruses into the system. Plus, also not allowing access to certain sites can prevent network connectivity problems caused by streaming music and video. One example is the case of Procter & Gamble. It discovered its employees were watching 50,000 YouTube videos and listening to 4,000 hours of music on a typical workday, choking its digital pipeline.
