  • Selling at scale

  • Large-production videos

  • Run them as ads on Facebook and YouTube and test them with the credit cards of the buyers!

  • Makes assumptions when making the video about what is on the mind of the customer

  • For example, Nerd skin care company, they assumed

    • customers want all natural

    • that the active ingredient of typical cream is bad

    • that it’s better to activate your own body’s defenses

  • Do the same thing with images in your ads

  • Send them to your home page

  • Sometimes volume and reach is more important than specificity in your ads

  • You’re charged a lot of money to reach a hyper-targeted segment

  • Viewers will self-select with video ads

  • Use retargeting to get back in front of prospects and present your other points to bring them back

  • Digital ad spending has overtaken traditional advertising

  • You need to get their attention, but you also need to build a relationship

  • Create a powerful message

  • Tell a memorable story

  • Don’t underestimate the value of entertainment and shock value

  • Focus on the sale, ultimately, over being creative

  • Video doesn’t have to always be expensive

  • The most important aspect of your video ad is your writing

  • Don’t try too hard

  • They used to make TV-oriented videos, but now they’re doing more video with spokespeople

  • They are abandoning the viral, big, crazy ads

  • Lots of ads in the newsfeed vs. the right column with an auto-play and a “Learn More” button

  • Then remarket in that newsfeed

  • Include closed captioning (over 60% of videos are watched on silent mode)

  • His biggest success has been with 3-5 minute video ads

  • With a TV commercial, you have more time to be more cinematic and develop the story

  • With digital advertising, you need more energy

  • With a spokesperson, there needs to be a gimmick
