Navigating the Video Marketing Maze: Short-Form vs. Long-Form

Are you torn between using long-form or short-form videos for your small business marketing campaign? Well, you are not alone. Despite 89% of consumers wanting to see more brand videos, there is no one-size-fits-all answer about the ideal video length.

Both short-form and long-form videos offer unique advantages and come with their set of challenges. Join me as I uncover the benefits and limitations of each video format to help you make informed marketing decisions. What are Short-Form Videos? Short videos typically range from 30 seconds to less than 10 minutes long. T...

Opportunities for AI in Accessibility – A List Apart

In reading Joe Dolson’s recent piece on the intersection of AI and accessibility, I absolutely appreciated the skepticism that he has for AI in general as well as for the ways that many have been using it. In fact, I’m very skeptical of AI myself, despite my role at Microsoft as an accessibility innovation strategist who helps run the AI for Accessibility grant program. As with any tool, AI can be used in very constructive, inclusive, and accessible ways; and it can also be used in destructive, exclusive, and harmful ones. And there are a ton of uses somewhere in the mediocre middle as well. Article Continues Below I’d like you to consider this a “yes… and” piece to complement Joe’s post. I’m not trying to refute any of what he’s saying but rather provide some visibility to proje...

Disruptive Design: Raising the Bar of Content Marketing with Graphic Design

What if I told you that your content marketing strategy is only half as effective without using graphic design? It’s like serving a gourmet meal on a trash can lid – the quality is there, but the presentation is all wrong. Imagine that you’re scrolling through your favorite online platform – what stops your thumb in its tracks? Is it the lengthy posts, or the visuals that tell a story without even a single word? I think that answer is more obvious now than ever. As a digital marketer and graphic design veteran who has witnessed the evolution of the industry over the last 17+ years, I’ve come to a realization: in our rush to improve the process of content creation, most creators often underestimate the profound influence that graphic design has on their content. Every marketer knows t...

Rank Higher and Capture Leads with Video SEO

Search engine optimization is becoming incredibly challenging and unpredictable. As search engines are integrating generative AI and learning to surface more diverse results, creating a strategy to rank your pages in the top 5 takes a lot of trial and error. Video marketing is almost equally challenging. Gone are the days when you had to invest in professional equipment and hire an editor to be able to create a video. These days anyone can create great videos at home and edit them using affordable software. The competition is insane. So where is the opportunity here? It’s in combining these two marketing channels. Let me explain: Videos rank incredibly well in Google (they have their own sections in search results, so you are not competing with giants) Not many video mark...

The Art of Getting Booked: Mastering the Podcast Guesting Game

I didn’t think it was a big deal. We assumed these were typical results for those who focused and did the work. The gaping mouths and the bulging eyes were our first clues. My next clue should have been when one podcaster told me he gets 50 to 100 pitches a week and he chose ours. Finally, reality set in like a bolt of lightning striking fifty feet in front of me. The words still rumble in my head like fading thunder echoing through the sky: “I’ve never known anyone who booked 53 podcasts in two months.” – Ryan Deiss When Ryan said that from the stage at the M3 Mastermind, I finally realized my wife had done something extraordinary. This was no surprise. She is an amazing woman. Anyone who read her CaringBridge journal in 2021 already knows that. TLDR: The doctors gave up on me...

Time-Saving Effective Content Creation Tips

Creating niche content is something all brands should do in order to catch their audience at various stages of their buying cycles. Content diversifies your rankings, builds your brand’s recognizability, and helps create more conversion funnels throughout the site. But there’s one huge problem with publishing new content on your site: Time. Few brands can afford writing teams, and relying on freelancers brings in new risks like inconsistency in voice and lower quality. How to teach your in-house writers to create more content faster and more productively? Here are a few tips: Stop Agonizing About Word Count Somehow “long-form” content became the best content creation tactic at some point. Just about any content strategy started evolving around “the more words the bette...

How to Create Evergreen Content That Generates Traffic to Your Site

Every digital marketer understands that publishing articles or blog posts on your website is an excellent way to create content for your SEO strategy and build awareness. On top of that, you also get to connect to your audience on a deeper level. However, many marketers focus on publishing seasonal content or articles on trending topics, which can drive traffic, but only for a limited time. According to HubSpot’s State of Marketing Trends Report (2022), 83% of marketers say it’s better to focus on quality rather than quantity of content, even if it means publishing fewer blog posts. But if your content depends on trending topics, how can you create quality content that lasts? Enter evergreen content. First, let’s be honest; creating evergreen content isn’t a walk in the park.

Article Continues Below But how do you set up a content management system (CMS) to reach your audience now and in the future? I learned the hard way that creating a content model—a definition of content types, attributes, and relationships that let people and systems understand content—with my more familiar design-system thinking would capsize my customer’s omnichannel content strategy. You can avoid that outcome by creating content models that are semantic and ...

Whether to convey information, conduct transactions, or simply to check in on one another, people have yammered away, chattering and gesticulating, through spoken conversation for countless generations.

In the 1920s, Robert Moses designed a system of parkways surrounding New York City.

Article Continues Below Regardless of the details of Moses’s parkway project, it’s a particularly memorable reminder of the political power of design and the ways that choices can exclude various groups based on abilities and resources.

In marketing, transparency and vulnerability are unjustly stigmatized. The words conjure illusions of being frightened, imperfect, and powerless. And for companies that shove carefully curated personas in front of users, little is more terrifying than losing control of how people perceive the brand. Article Continues Below Let’s shatter this illusioned stigma. Authentic vulnerability and transparency are strengths masquerading as weaknesses.

We’ve all been there. A client or coworker shows us this amazing thing they (and maybe their entire team) have worked on for hours or weeks. They are so proud of it.

If your initial response is so negative that it slips through into your expression or voice or body language, it can completely sabotage any possibility of buy-in. And, far more seriously, it can ruin the relationship of trus...
