We've always liked something Steve Jobs attributed to Pablo Picasso- "good artists borrow, great artists steal." We unabashedly stole a post from Justin Oberman and turned it into a post on our agency site.
If I hear one more client say they are looking for a "digital agency" without knowing what the major 5 schools of advertising are- and, not understanding that all agencies are "digital" these days (when was the last time you say someone cutting rubylith or doing paste up?).

Influencer marketing is all the rage. We know that half the people read- and half watch video. We stress to our clients that you need video on the home page of your site, it's not negotiable.
We're experimenting with helping our neighbor/influencer with his videos.
The is the first, where we shot and edited his content. He has about 65K subscribers and in the first 24 hours about 10% of them watched.
He's been doing his videos solo for about 3 years- some of his viewers liked it- some, didn't, but the key will be how the video performs vs his other videos. This was also a "sponsored content" video- the battery company provided the equipment. This is newer territory for Mike.
Take a look and see what you think. And, if you need some help with your video game- or want to get influencers to talk about about your products- let us know.
