Tom Has Increased Reach and Engagement With His Financial Education Content

Tom Brodie is the The Found Money Guy who teaches building owners accelerate their depreciation write-offs.  As a teacher in a complicated market, Tom uses Pictory to market his services with video. 

The Challenge

Here are the challenges Tom used to face in creating videos:

• Lack of Visual Appeal: Tom mentioned that he was making videos himself by getting in front of a cell phone camera, but he acknowledged that this approach had limitations.
• Time-Consuming Video Creation: Tom mentioned that creating videos himself took a lot of time. He discussed the need to write scripts, set up cameras, and edit the videos, which made the video creation process laborious and time-consuming.
• Difficulty in Finding the Right Content: Tom explained that one of the challenges with video creation was finding the right video clips to match his content. He noted that he spent a lot of time searching for the exact video clip to complement his script.
• Limited Resources: Tom mentioned that he had limited resources and was using desktop video editing software, which could be cumbersome, especially with older computers.
• Overwhelming Technical Jargon: Tom's industry involves technical concepts like cost segregation and accelerated depreciation.  He acknowledged that initially, he used too much technical jargon in his content, which may have made it less accessible.
