What is Social Media Camp?
Social Media Camp brings together the brightest minds in Social Media with people interested in learning more about the power of Community Based Marketing. The event follows the BarCamp / unconference format.

Did you attend the event? What did you think?

Post a comment. Initially I didn’t have huge expectations for the event, since it was on Saturday and the beach is preferred in Miami over tech events. I enjoyed myself, met a lot of new people but some of the presentations were a lame and a little too self promotion. Here is a video clip of one of great presentations from the day. The host Erica giving an overview about Social Media. Overall, she put together a great event…

Now after 2 months of experimentation, video has really changed everything for me. For example, almost twice a week someone NEW mentions seeing one of my videos. These online relationships are now more valuable because we have a more personal connection.

Also, I am seeing design, movies and marketing concepts a lot differently. It’s a new perspective on how to make things more beautiful and precise. In ecommerce, it is providing more credibility for websites with low brand awareness and will directly improve conversion rates. Or at least shrinks the buying sales process for new customers. Video reviews are great use for this space. Plus, creating video assets are more valuable than photos, graphs or articles. Videos have more viral opportunity so the long tail is even longer.

With each new video I complete, I take a step towards pushing my creativity and improving my career. The quality of the videos will get better along with my verbal skills. In the meantime, below is my first HD movie I put online (personal test). You can preview it below, or visit Vimeo for the full HD version.

Are you doing video?

Let me know – I would love to share thoughts on editing, concepts or collaborations.
