Here are the highlights of this episode:

Christina ideally would like to work with those who want to try something new & unique in the marketplace, having complex products or services, and those who have a story to tell and want to use the video medium to tell it. Some of them felt that they hit the ceiling when it comes to doing their sales and marketing, perhaps they made an ineffective video in the past or maybe no video at all. She states that people need to get to know you first for them to like you, and then they make emotional decisions about your company or brand within seconds. You must gain their trust before you can ask for money. Christine explains to us that the video world is actually an 'ecosystem', and she elaborates this in the interview. Depending on your audience and platform, that's when you need to figure out if you need a professional crew to create your video. Please don't think that just making a video is going to help you, she explains that you need to be intention, strategic, and be considerate in not providing much information too soon. Put some very basic strategy behind why you're doing what you're doing.
