Case Study: Increase Blog Views by 38.5% in Just 90 Days

 Content Shapes PRWhen my client, Percussion Software, wanted to increase readership around their thought leadership platform - content marketing.  We was thrilled when we decided to launch a video blog series. When they asked me to host the interview series I was hesitant.  I was passionate about the topic,  could imagine a list of fantastic guests, but would we be able to provide consistency? Would I have enough to wear? How much do I hate my voice on film? Seriously, these are the thoughts that went through my head.I'm pleased to report that with less than $400 in equipment and 90 days we introduced two video formats - interviews and talks.  My fears were completely unwarranted and we've seen tremendous success. Driving 38.5% increase in blog views and increasing traffic to both video and non-video content.I hope this success inspires you to jump in to video with both feet but if you need a little inspiration check out some of my favorite marketers sharing a peak inside their world:
