We could overwhelm you with stats and numbers and charts and graphs speaking to the power of video marketing. But we wouldn’t put you through that. No, instead we’re going to summon our inner Bill Nye and tout the benefits of video content through a blend of behavioral science, biology and even a little chemistry.
We call him Bill, and he loves all things “cool” (especially using the word). Our Executive Coolness Creative Director has worked in advertising for more than 25 years, breaking into the industry in Chicago at Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, Foote Cone and Belding, and Campbell Mithun Esty. He has produced work for many well-known national and international brands including Gatorade, Coors, Sears, Windex, Boeing, Wilson Sports, Craftsman Tools and Mattel.

Google “disruptive advertising” and you’re likely to get a number of very different definitions, and if you make the mistake of YouTubing it, prepare yourself for some unsettling stuff.
Truth’s “Body Bags” comes to mind.
That crashing sound you hear coming from advertising agencies across the country is the sound of walls coming down.
