- Plan every final version, approval and usage right early.
- Measure the action the video should create, not only views.
Meet Rohan. Rohan runs a coaching centre in Pune. The team made a good-looking video, but nobody decided where it would be shown or what viewers should do next. Rohan now starts with the audience, one message and one useful next step.
This is a made-up example to explain the idea. It is not a client result.
