Falco Creative Media is here for you!
First of all, I really hope everyone is safe, healthy and hanging in there. I am trying to turn the page this week and attempting to figure out a little more structure for my work and home life. LET’S TALK ABOUT WORK-LIFE BALANCE. Just kidding. That’s not what this blog is about because what the hell is a good work-life balance right now?! Seriously, if you know please fill me in ASAP.
I am not going to fake it or sugar coat it. I have been an anxious mess. Not only have I been worried about my loved ones getting sick or what is going on in the world, but I’ve also been trying to figure out how to take care of a 2-year-old, 1-year-old and run a now struggling company. To be quite frank, I totally checked out when it came to work. I felt numb and allowed myself some time to check out mentally. And I know I am not alone. There are many people going through so much worse right now, which absolutely breaks my heart. I wish so badly I can give all those struggling a hug. Just know that I am thinking about each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
But here is the thing, I love work. I love my work. I love Falco Creative Media. So, this week, I am hitting myself upside the head and telling myself to FIGURE IT OUT.
So, guess what? Falco Creative Media is still here, ready to work and help you make the best of this awful situation! Your customers, clients and audience need to hear from you right now and need to know you’re still there. Right now, more than ever, is a great time to build personalized and lasting relationships with your audience from a safe distance. The best way (and one of the very few ways) you can do that is virtually AKA through video. Cue, Falco Creative Media! There are many things I can do from afar as far as video goes. The best news is that you don’t even have to be a previous client of mine. I can create a video for you without ever meeting you. It’s what I do. That’s what I am good at. Let me do that for you.
Here are some options for video marketing that requires no video shoot/no contact.
Repurpose old footage- If you’re already a client of mine, great! I archive all the footage I shoot and receive so I can pull from previous footage, add music and graphics and make a great video for you! If I haven’t worked with you before BUT you do have footage or even old videos, you can send them my way via dropbox and I can create something new and fresh from it!
Graphic videos. Check out my Instagram page, @falcocreativemedia. I love creating short :5-:15 videos with just graphics. I can incorporate your branding, logo and message. These videos are a great bang for you buck as you can distribute them just about anywhere and as frequently as you want! Some suggestions for this would be your mission statement, your slogan, an uplifting message or even a quote that speaks to you.
Turn a long form video into a short highlight reel. If I have done a longer video for you in the past, I can turn that into a :30 highlight reel. It’s new content and a great way to keep your audience excited about you and what you have to offer.
Even though I can’t come to you or your business to shoot right now, there is nothing stopping me from being able to shoot in my own house! For example, if you’re a marketing company, I can pull out my camera in my home office and shoot some fun footage at my computer, taking notes, etc. Something that is relevant to your business.
Speaking of me being able to shoot video within my home. If you have marketing materials, or a product that you sell, I can capture footage of that! All you would have to do is drop whatever it is that you sell or give away in the mail and send it to me. I will capture some creative shots of it, add some graphics and music and voila! you have a video to share with your customers and clients!
STOCK FOOTAGE! I will have an online gallery up and running this week! Eeek! You can purchase (I am going to keep it very affordable during these times), download and share on your social media feeds as a way to stand out! Using high quality stock footage is a massive time saver and very versatile!
Even if your business is struggling or put on hold right now, it is still important to build awareness with your online audience. I am more than willing to work with you to make sure you remain financially healthy. Overall, there’s still a way to be creative in a world of social distancing, so use this opportunity to get creative, and explore new ways of expanding your reach. That is what I am here for. Let me help you stay relevant, keep the buzz going and continue to add value to the world.
