What is each piece of content?
FULL TALK RECORDING
A watchable and shareable video of your full presentation. Always ask your videographer for a “color graded, audio mixed .mp4 of the talk with the dead space trimmed off the beginning and end.”
RAW MEDIA
The original video and audio files from your presentation. These are not usable unless you are a professional video editor. Archive these files for future repurposing.
HIGHLIGHT VIDEOS
3-5 minute videos of your talk’s best moments. Focus on sharing a strong story, a novel insight/key takeaway, and a moment of great audience engagement.
SHORT VIDEO CLIPS
15-60 second videos to grab a viewers attention. Focus on one clear and complete idea per video. Consider moments that are entertaining, emotiv, or enlightening.

QUOTE GRAPHICS
Your favorite quote placed on top of your favorite photo of you speaking on stage. Include your name and logo.
NEWSLETTERS/EMAILS
Excerpts from your talk in written form. Do not include video or hyperlinks as your emails will be flagged as spam and blocked. Do include a quote graphic.
EVENT TAKEAWAY VIDEOS
Selfie videos intended to convert in person audiences from an event into digital audiences for continued engagement.
Add VALUE not NOISE. Recommended prompts:
"I'm speaking at [event] about [topic]. Here's why it matters..."
"A mistake I keep noticing at this conference is..."
"My biggest takeaway from this event was..."
TESTIMONIALS
1 minute video testimonies recorded immediately after your talk. Require testimonies from event organizers at every talk.
Tips for Testimonials
Generic Questions = Generic Answers. Instead ask:
“What surprised you”
“What was your favorite moment”
“What is something you’ll do differently”
Require complete sentences
Expand your network—tag and share testimonies on the person’s LinkedIn
STAGE/AUDIENCE PHOTOS
Capture a wide variety of photos—speaking on stage, selfies, shots of audience—both mingling and posed. Capture photos with and without event signage.
