Remote Video Capture with Robert Weiss

“See you in front of the camera” is the salutation with which Robert Weiss, of Multivision Digital, one of the top video production companies in NYC, signs his emails. These days, we’re all in front of the camera. Not only are we in front of cameras more often than ever, but the flip side is that we’re all watching more video than ever before, too. There is an opportunity to produce strategic content to meet this demand and the means to do so safely despite the pandemic. In this episode Robert and I discuss three approaches to safely creating content now, during the pandemic, with a focus on remote video capture. We look forward to a post-pandemic period when remote video capture will remain a means of producing content at scale across a broad geographic footprint.

Recorded December 15, 2020 via Zoom.

Immediate Results with Niche Content a conversation with Jim Shenwick

At a Deliberate Solos meeting at the end of 2017 I heard Jim Shenwick recount how he’d built a niche content strategy to reach taxi medallion owners facing financial stress in the face of the industry disruption from apps like Uber, Lyft and Via. In this conversation, Jim describes how after reading an article in Crane’s business he recognized this un-met client need and business development opportunity and began creating content to reach these potential clients. Deftly implementing a strategy of writing content of value for these clients, he’s become a go to resource not only for underwater taxi medallion owners but also journalists and investors.

You can read his writing on the topic at his blog.
