The Backstory

Garry Herbert, a marketing director at Harmelin Media, wanted to make a difference in his town. He became mayor of his town, Lansdale, and when it came time for re-election, he wanted to make a big statement and challenged me with helping him craft the narrative around his re-election that would result in at least a 5-10% bump in voter turnout. 

Garry and I implemented the B2A strategy for his campaign. Months before election day, he started deploying the branding videos. He had the full branding videos on his website, while he posted the 15 sec cut downs on social media. Taking it a step further, Garry started using the 15 sec cuts on Facebook ads to drive up his awareness.

As election day got closer, and his branding videos have been thoroughly distributed, he began to deploy his action video assets. He posted his action video on his website (he got a lot of traffic there), while posting 15 sec cuts on Facebook ads. His action video cuts had a very strong call to action- to vote for him on Nov. 2nd!

I'm very happy to report that Garry Herbert was re-elected as Mayor with a 95.6% bump in voter turnout. The videos created from the B2A strategy added multiple layers of trust, public support, and confidence that Garry was the perfect mayor for Lansdale, Pennsylvania.

What is the B2A Strategy?

The B2A Strategy, or it's full name Branding 2 Action Strategy, is a content creation plan that primes your customers to buy from you by giving them exactly what they want- connection.

This "give, then receive" approach allows you to show your customers that you value them. And in return, they will give you their respect, trust, and most importantly, their business.

Kristian's B2A Strategy is made up of two branding videos and one action video. In the strategy, the branding videos are posted first to drum up interest, excitement, and trust. Once your audience is primed with the branding videos, the action video gets posted to direct them to act.

All Cut Downs are Social Optimized

(but what does that mean?)

Accessibility is the name of the game.

The posts that are the easiest to consume, win.

All video cut downs have the option to be converted to social media friendly posts with text, subtitles, and timer line.

Adding social optimization to your videos will increase visibility, engagements, and most importantly, consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

“What does a branding video look like?”

There are so many different ways to create branding videos. It ultimately comes down to what you think your audience wants to see from you. This is something that my team and I cover in our initial consultation so that we can create branding videos that actually resonate with people. Plus, we have examples of some tried and true branding video styles!

“What does an action video look like?”

The action video is your mission statement. It tells a story of who you are, and why people should care about you. And the ending of the action video will have a strong CTA (call to action) that will make the right people buy from you.

“Why can't I just buy an action video?”

An action video alone is like a cold call. You may convert a very small percentage of sales, but the majority of people won't buy from you, even if your product is perfect for them.

When's the last time you turned a cold lead into a customer in one swoop?

“What do I get when I choose to "socially optimize" my videos?”

All cut down videos will have built in captions, titles, and branded backgrounds, that are designed to be posted to social media for optimized viewing.

All video cut downs can be customized to fit the context of the social platform (e.g. TikTok, Facebook, etc.)
