Did you know that not only do I do still styling and photography but I do videos as well?  Yup that's right!  Given the recent algorithm changes on certain social media platforms, I realised that video was going to be an integral part of a winning digital marketing strategy.  Apart from paid advertising on these online platforms, video is the easiest and best way to ensure your brand's reach remains intact.

I created this video for one of my clients, SKIN ME as part of their product launch (best watched in HD, so click on the settings button below and update the playback quality to HD).  While setting up video is a bit more work than a photography shoot, the benefits of having video footage cannot be underestimated.
