Why doesn't every brand or company just hire a film crew, one comedy writer, and just turn their entire business into a daily sitcom? Every single client I work with wants to get into video, so they create how-tos, they'll do like behind-the-scenes stuff, they even use their employees to hold products and model. I think they got to go deeper than that. I think if brands want people to follow their story, they need to play the story game. Turn everybody in your business into a character just as they are. Let a film crew shoot it and piece it together. It doesn't need to be comedy. I've seen this with like advertising agencies did this back in the day. I forget some show. It might've been like The Pitch. I would like to see the interior workings of every single business in America. Okay. That was just a random idea. I'll get back in my lane.
