January 4, 2021

Get ready for 2021

Who’s already planning goals for 2021? At this time of year, it’s inevitable to start looking towards the year ahead. But I also want to encourage you to think about right now. What can you start doing today to help you take off running at the start of the new year? If you’re looking to attract more business putting yourself in a position to be more visible to your target audience is a great place to start. It doesn’t need to cost a lot of money. It just takes commitment to be consistent.

Do your goals include more business?

Are you looking for more business as one of your goals? More importantly, are you willing to put in the work to generate more business? The companies that did best coming out of the last recession were the ones that invested more in their marketing instead of pulling back.

I know it’s a very challenging time, and while some industries are thriving right now, others are not. But I think it’s important to continue being in front of your target market and showcasing what you can help them with. Over the last 34 weeks I’ve been maintaining on of my goals of putting out a video each week trying to focus on content that is informative, helpful and authentic and it has worked very well for me.

I’ve not only had existing contacts keep me top of mind for video work I can assist them with, but I’ve also seen an influx of new people outside of my network reaching out to me. As we’re gearing up for the new year it seems a lot of people are thinking about their strategies for 2021. I’ve heard people at various events talk about wanting to get things going in the new year and step up their online presence. If you really want to set yourself up well you need to start investing the time in your strategy right now. Start by creating a list of topic ideas based on commonly asked questions you receive, lay out a content calendar and set deadlines for yourself. Being too busy can’t be an excuse; as small business owners we need to constantly be filling our pipeline, so I encourage you to make the commitment. Don’t get hung up on minor details or trying to be perfect, just get started and set yourself up for a successful 2021.

And as always if we can help you in any way through our coaching , connecting you to one of my marketing contacts, or helping you get started with creating your own video content like this, please reach out to us here.

Video marketing continues to be a powerful way for professional services businesses to build relationships, communicate value, and connect authentically with potential clients. With more companies competing in digital spaces, your content must be thoughtful, professional, and designed to both engage and convert. Whether you're in accounting, law, consulting, or IT services, here are ten updated video ideas to help you stand out and strengthen your corporate communication strategy this year. 1. Launch AI-Driven Personalized Video Ads AI personalization is transforming video marketing. Create short, targeted video ads that adapt messaging based on viewer behavior or segment (e.g., small business owner vs. CFO). These videos perform well on platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, and they can be dynamically inserted into email campaigns or websites for maximum ROI. 2. Share Modern Client Success Stories Customer success stories are still gold—but in 2025, authenticity and storytelling are key. Focus on emotional storytelling and results-driven narratives. Use cinematic techniques, remote video capture tools, or even augmented reality (AR) elements to immerse viewers in your client's journey and how your service made a real difference. 3. Create Explainer Videos with a Corporate Edge Explainer videos remain essential but should now reflect your brand’s tone and professionalism. Use sleek motion design and branded templates. Consider producing industry-specific explainer series (e.g., “Tax Tips for Startups” or “Data Compliance for SMEs”) to demonstrate thought leadership and value. 4. Build Interactive Tutorial Videos Interactive video is a rising trend in corporate training and communication. Add clickable elements, branching scenarios, and built-in assessments to make tutorial videos more engaging and trackable. These are ideal for onboarding clients or guiding them through digital products and service platforms. 5. Live Stream Webinars and Internal Events Livestreaming isn’t just for public webinars anymore—use it for internal comms too. Broadcast leadership updates, town halls, or team celebrations. For external use, stream panels, roundtables, or client Q&As. Tools like LinkedIn Live, Zoom Webinars, and even custom internal platforms support high-quality broadcasts with audience interaction. 6. Use Animated Videos to Break Down Complex Topics Animation is now essential in simplifying corporate messages—especially in finance, legal, and tech. In 2025, use animated explainers not just for customers, but also for internal education, investor relations, or recruitment. Keep visuals clean, inclusive, and on-brand for professionalism and impact. 7. Create Motion Graphics for Microlearning Motion graphics videos (15–60 seconds) are great for sharing insights, facts, or step-by-step guides. These snackable videos are perfect for internal communications, compliance training, or highlighting service stats on social media. Add subtle kinetic text and icons to maintain clarity without overwhelming the viewer. 8. Design Data-Driven Infographic Videos Combine data visualization with narration or music to tell data-rich stories. Whether it’s market trends, client stats, or industry benchmarks, infographic videos are now expected in quarterly reporting, ESG updates, and performance reviews. Embed them into presentations or share as social content. 9. Showcase Company Culture with Behind-the-Scenes Videos Today’s clients and talent want to work with values-driven firms. Culture videos are now strategic. Highlight diversity, inclusion, leadership philosophies, or sustainability initiatives. Follow team members through their day, show off your remote or hybrid culture, or highlight community outreach projects. 10. Launch a Thought Leadership Video Series Create an ongoing series where your executives or subject matter experts share insights on current industry challenges. Use short episodes (2–3 minutes) with strong branding, intro/outro music, and subtitles. This builds credibility, boosts SEO, and aligns with 2025’s demand for expert-led content over pure advertising. Video is no longer optional—it’s an essential tool in both external marketing and internal corporate communications. From personalized outreach to interactive client education and internal alignment, businesses in 2025 that leverage strategic video content will lead the conversation and capture more attention. Start with one or two of these video strategies and scale from there. With the right message and format, video will not only help you generate leads—it will elevate your professional brand and deepen relationships in every direction.
