If you had to create an engaging, professional marketing video for your business today, could you pull it off?

If you’re like many consultants and other business professionals, you’d probably feel completely overwhelmed. 

Even finding a starting point might seem impossible.

And that’s frustrating, because you know if you want to grow your business, video is an essential part of your marketing, sales, and communications strategies. 

What you don’t know, though, is how to easily create marketing videos that:

❓ Strengthen your brand 
❓ Establish your authority, and 
❓ Make people want to do business with you.

That’s the problem we help solve with the vidwheel Creator Network.

What is the vidwheel Creator Network? It’s a community where entrepreneurs and consultants representing all industries can come together to master the simple steps to stabilize and grow your business through video. 

From strategy to audio and lighting, staging, preparation, to feeling 100% natural in front of the camera, the vidwheel Creator Network is where you can learn it all. 
It is a supportive, energizing place to learn, share feedback, and grow alongside a community of professionals a lot like you!

Our affordable membership package even includes a done-for-you equipment kit. A video studio-in-a-box for your home or office.

We’ve curated these kits for simplicity, versatility, and video creation power. 

No guesswork. No bins full of equipment you bought but didn’t need. 

It’s the trifecta of video mastery:

✅ Right training
✅ Right equipment
✅ Right community

Transcript:
Welcome to this episode of The Smarter Business Podcast, where we talk to professionals that are using video in interesting ways. And today we are talking to Nina Froriep of Clockwise Productions. Nina, it's great to have you on.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to talk about what I love talking about.

Yes, that's what we like to hear. So Nina, you own Clockwise Productions. Do you want to kind of start with an intro of that business and what you all do?

Yeah. So, Clockwise Productions has actually been around for 25 years. The last six years of which, we have have been working as video marketers, before that, we were just filmmaker, producer, director, that kind of stuff. So what we do now is we take people who want to grow their businesses with not just any client, but their ideal clients with video, and we show them how to create videos, but our focus really is not on the production end. Our focus is on the strategy and content part of it, because in the end, that is where you need to focus, if you are a small business owner or service provider, a business coach, which is a lot of our audience, are business coaches. You're in the business of disrupting something, you're in the business of helping people, so you need to be seen and heard. So strategy and content or content and strategy are sort of the focus of what we do.

Excellent. And that's what the business does. How about your own background? You said that the business has been around for a while. What kind of work were you doing 10 years ago and that type of thing?

Clockwise. So, yeah. So as I said, Clockwise has been in business for 25 years. I've been in the business for about 30 years. So Clockwise happened fairly quickly. We were a traditional production video or film back then, even production company.

“Social media is just a networking group that is scaleable” 

These days, networking is moving more towards digital and COVID may be responsible for accelerating it. Because of this, social media is more important than ever to expand your borders to meet people from around the world, showcase your brand with authenticity, and grow your business. 

Stephen Pope of SGP Labs help entrepreneurs and organizations leverage video, content repurposing and the power of social media to generate revenue. 

In this episode, Stephen discusses how to have a good marketing strategy, being more present, figuring out how to build a successful digital company, and how to move away from the traditional networking group by operating without borders through social media.
