How we did it
We started with an idea to repurpose a talk our client gave, where she speaks about the incredible product she designed. Then we:
- Identified high retention points and captivating hooks from the talk, highlighting unique moments and showcasing the product’s distinctive features and benefits.
- Sourced engaging b-roll from other existing videos they had that showed customers using the product, so viewers could see it in action alongside the audio.
- Added captions to keep people engaged and ensure we get the message across even if audio is muted.
- Created multiple variants so that we had a few different versions of the audio and b-roll combined together. More shots on net!
- Packaged and optimized and then published the Shorts to the channel.
