Why Video Is the Next Big Thing for Personal Brands

For years, I’ve dreamed of incorporating video into my offerings alongside photography, but I couldn’t quite figure out how to make it happen. I’d been seeing everywhere that video was going to be the next big thing for personal brands, and I definitely wanted to be part of it.

Then along came Wendy Valentine—a client and podcaster I’ve worked with in the past—who strongly encouraged me to create a book promo trailer for her upcoming book release and tour.

OK, she more or less gave me a kick in the butt to do it. 😆

On top of that, she was flying all the way from Portugal to Chicago to make this happen. So of course, I said YES!

Well, I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out! Her marketing team and publisher love it, and I’d love for you to check it out too

Why Promo Videos Are a Game-Changer for Personal Brands

This project has me sooo excited about the power of video for personal brands. A well-crafted, brief promo video doesn’t just showcase what you do—it creates an emotional connection, elevates your credibility, and makes your brand truly unforgettable.

And if you’re wondering whether video is really worth it for your business, check this out:

👉 Short-form video is the most engaging type of content—with 66% of consumers saying they prefer to learn about a brand through video rather than text. (Source: HubSpot)

👉 Brands that use video grow revenue 49% faster than those that don’t. (Source: WordStream)

👉 90% of consumers say video helps them make purchasing decisions, and 64% say a video has directly influenced them to buy. (Source: Forbes)

Pretty compelling, right?
