All fairly small scale, and I am a sole trader. Recently, a media graduate asked if they could do some work experience, which I was happy...

    It's got to engage, lifestyle productions are what sell products (not all products)- this product will do this for me. It maybe obvious but just look how ads works. Yes there is a lot of crap out there which works on the snake oil sell, but not every company.

    What role does Video play in Digital Marketing?

    Talk to my teenage son about how they engage with the world of consumerism. No golden bullets in this life but people engage through story telling, always have and always will. Will video turn your badly designed website into an overnight hit - no. Will it answer all SEO problems - no. It's...

    Video wont help you get to page 1 of Google but it "CAN" help improve your sites exposure, engage your audience and convert leads. Maybe even increase your ranking if you use it correctly.

    Not sure why a company wouldn't link it's various arms?

    Are you sure that embedding a YouTube video on your site wont improve your ranking with Google (even by very small amounts)?
