What are your Three Words?

Happy Independence Day to America! I would also like to wish a “Happy Independence Day” to everyone who realizes their destiny is forever in their hands.

What did you do to your hand? The short answer is “I punched a wall”, the long answer is a little more embarrassing and a little  (okay, a lot) less indicative of anger problems.  On a totally nondescript Friday evening, after a productive (I think?) day of work, I was set about to sit down …

It’s coming up on a year since I first took the leap and bought myself the Apple Watch. Albeit, I bought the cheapest model, but it has worked wonderfully for me, integrating into my life so well that sometimes, just sometimes, I forget how amazing and magical it is. I try not to let my …

One of the unexpected perks of this job is getting One of the unexpected perks of this job is getting a little peek into how so many different businesses actually work.
 
Different industries, different teams, completely different ways of doing things and somehow I always walk away having noticed something I can apply to my own business too.

Another shoot with @freedomhousedetroit in the boo Another shoot with @freedomhousedetroit in the books! It was a hot one with plenty of walking, but getting to see familiar faces again made the day even better.

I also got the sweetest testimonial from FHD’s Chief Executive, which was such a lovely surprise! Always grateful when clients take the time to share kind words about working together. Definitely made the sweaty shoot day worth it.

It felt surreal to film for @spicerorchards as I grew up going to this Orchard. And while they knock it out of the park with their fall attractions, they're actually open year-round and have delicious treats and fun activities all year! (Christmas Train to see Santa anyone?)

Video marketing is a pretty broad term but for me, it means creating videos that businesses and nonprofits can actually use to share who they are, what they do and why it's important.
 
Website videos, social media content, testimonials, services, products, events, behind the scenes... basically anything that helps people understand what you do and get a better feel for the people behind it.
 
If you want to see a few examples of what I mean, comment VIDEO and we’ll happily send some over.
