Everywhere you look video feels like it’s blowing up.

Incredible numbers right?
And most importantly video isn’t just a ‘pay a dude once’ activity anymore. You can develop your own video studio armed with a smartphone, decent light, audio and affordable software.
So why aren’t all of us making videos?
With this in mind, for our next Wednesdays@Aeona event we’re bringing back our inbound marketing expert Moby Siddique. Moby’s another marketer who thinks everyone needs to embrace video in 2017 because as far as the consumer is concerned ‘don’t tell me, show me’ reigns supreme.
He’ll be taking us through how we can all buy and create our own video marketing studio for less than $500.
Don’t miss out on this one. This class is the same Moby teaches in a workshop that costs around $1500, so we’re super lucky to be running this session for a fraction of that!
P.S. Numbers are limited and tickets are strictly limited to 3 per person.
And if that list didn’t illustrate the gravity of the situation then here’s a pretty picture as well 😉
