How do you see your business changing due to the changing times?
Corbett PR will continue to evolve and work closely with the media. We are seeing PR firms like ours asked to create video content for clients and sharing video with media outlets for news stories. Firms will be working more with streaming service applications including Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, Google and YouTube to reach larger audiences.
What advice would you give business owners?
Every business must immediately launch a video marketing strategy. If they already have one, double down. Prospective customers and clients want to learn about businesses, their owners, their solutions and service. This is done most effectively through the use of video.
