308 - How to Start A YouTube Channel for Your Brand with Avi Shenkar

The Marketing Millennials

Don’t believe everything you hear: YouTube (especially with its Shorts feature) isn’t dead or going downhill anytime soon. Just ask this week’s guest, Avi Shenkar.

YouTube is a great platform for a mix of news and behind the scenes content. From product reviews to education, the creative opportunities are endless. What’s the REAL best cheesesteak in Philly? Avi tells us how he learned from a video that it’s not Pat’s or Geno’s. (And without viewing that video, he wouldn’t have had the best cheesesteak ever.)

Plus, you can reformat your textual content, like articles, into videos. Everything is a remix, and that’s a way to grow your content library, share your thoughts, and circle back. However, there’s a balance between quality viewers and people who’ll view your content briefly. How do you get them to stick around?

And, brands are making a huge mistake on YouTube—find out what Avi has to say about it.

If you’re on the fence about scaling your brand on YouTube or exploring video options for your brand, this is the episode for YOU.
