Ryan is joined by Chris Savage, the CEO and founder of Wistia, a video platform that allows businesses to utilise the power of video. Before founding Wistia, Chris graduated from Brown university, he is also the podcast host of Talking Too Loud and a proud coffee lover!
Chris talks about how he builds his vision strategy, the impact of planning for the future before making decisions today and the current content/video market and what you should be focusing on in your business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Wistia’s mission is to help businesses drive with video, there is a multitude of ways for them to deliver on this mission including creating content that helps their clients solve unique problems.
- Chris recognised early on that through platforms like YouTube, video content online no longer was restricted to those who could code and were tech-savvy, it would soon be open to almost everyone. This is how Wistia began.
- Being focused on your long-term strategy allows you to make the right decisions instead of being distracted by the immediate short-term.
- Consider your market and potential growth for the future, then work backwards from this point to build your business and its goals and direction.
- Audiences now have unlimited competition for their time, your content is effectively ‘stealing’ time from them, it needs to be top-tier!
- Consumption of all video has gone up since the pandemic, particularly long-form which is a dramatic change.
- The best growth strategy is to find an opinionated product, that solves a unique problem for your customer whilst constantly and consistently improving and adapting.
