Course Overview

A message about testimonial and customer story video that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. Discounting solves a problem in story video today and creates a larger one next quarter. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the marketing and commercial practice discipline so that teams can disagree productively about it. Buying a tool rarely fixes testimonial and customer story video; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the practice within marketing and commercial practice. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make story video hard in practice. Participants gain a realistic view of what testimonial and customer story video costs and what it returns. Applied research in marketing and commercial practice consistently shows that early structure around story video reduces downstream rework. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of marketing and commercial practice survives a hostile question.
