My personal promo video? That could be the Sensation U.S Tour 2013.

My Opinion

Our loyal readers will know that by know. I have been writing on the power of viral and social videos here for many years. Or see our related stories at the bottom of this page.

Web, social and viral videos are not only weapons of mass affection, they can also create you the winning pitch. My big surprise however?

Most agencies are like record labels when it comes to social videos. They know it is coming, but are worried about the ROI, focusing on TV commercials only.

They should have jumped 5 years ago. Many are now boiling frogs, a few dead men walking.

For many large leading brands and SME’s it’s not too late. So see how you can create winning pitches using video. I hope these examples inspired you.
