Seeing is Believing

This video was shot using an iPhone 6s paired with studio lighting, Rode microphones, and a high quality external lens. 

Your audience is reading and turning to video more than ever before. At least one-third of all online activity is spent watching videos. Simply having a video on your landing page can increase conversion rates by 80 percent. A recent survey of CEOs found that 59 percent would rather watch a video than read.

Video is a powerful tool and only gaining traction. It's now a skill every marketer and public relations professional must master. 

Madeira Public Relations recently had the pleasure to present our Digital Video 101 Workshop at the Florida Public Relations Association's annual conference in Orlando. Workshop attendees learned how to create compelling digital videos using just their cell phones paired with a few our favorite tools and accessories highlighted below:
