That used to be an easy task when companies only needed couple of images for print ads and a 30 second commercial for TV. For decades the ‘MadMen’ mantra had ruled the shoot. The right (single) message, to the right people (your choice of TV, print, direct mail or OOH), the right number of times (the rule of thumb 3 frequency).Today, a ‘simple’ shoot isn’t so simple. There is a lot to consider and to get it right, we need to spend more time than ever before in pre-production planning.Let’s use a video campaign to illustrate this point. When the video is shot, we’ll need to think about how it will be optimized for 9x16 Instagram Stories, 4x5 Facebook newsfeed sound off environment, 16x9 skippable YouTube TruView ads and passive TV consumers. Take all the other supporting assets for Pinterest, Blogs, Vlogs, LinkedIn, email, etc. and I think you can see how complicated this can get.The Complexity of Content Marketing Shoots
