CREATE:<br />

• Original video can serve as either an appetizer or a meal<br />

depending upon the complexity of the topic, run time of the<br />

piece, and the quantity and quality of resources allocated to<br />

production. On the one hand, you might crank out a series of 60-second videos<br />

that require very little investment in terms of budget or manpower. On the other<br />

hand, you might assign a high-level team to concept and craft a longer, more<br />

professional video.<br />

• You might produce individual videos, or invest longer term efforts into creating a<br />

cohesive series.<br />

• You can create your own YouTube channel to showcase all your existing video<br />

content in one place.<br />

CURATE:<br />

• Curating user-generated video collections is a tactic that has worked well<br />

for both consumer and B2B brands. For example, Big Apple Circus<br />

(videos.bigapplecircus.org) uses this strategy to share videos from third-party<br />

and user-generated sites to deliver diverse and unbiased content. A number of<br />

new platforms have launched to help content marketers curate a video banquet:<br />

Visible Gains, Brightcove, and Magnify are just a few.<br />

• You can also curate video one clip at a time – sharing relevant videos via your<br />

blog or social media channels.<br />
