Any "startup" that meets your criteria is not a startup, but either a) a very successful business with money to burn, or b) riding the VC train to shutdowns-ville. Ask not what your startup can do for you, but what you can do for your start

I think the product is the obvious part of brand experience and the one that most startups think is the silver bullet. It isn't...there is no silver bullet. It is about delighting people every single time they come in contact with your comp

While this data is not specific to "explainer" videos, it is data compiled over the viewing of business videos. http://wistia.com/blog/does-length-matter-it-does-for-video/ Bottom line, keep it as short and as punchy as possible.

Hey, I don't want to come off like I'm just shilling for my company, but what you are trying to do may possibly be more easily done with a video hosting platform with an API. By taking this approach, you won't have to worry about tuning enc

Clicktale does this ( http://www.clicktale.com/ ). They only capture a subset of the page views and are somewhat expensive. We tried it out for a month or two when we were very early on but we just weren't able to see the value at that

I sort of watched over his shoulder as he went through this process and it was quite amazing to observe. The guy he ended up working with, for $3 an hour, was quite sharp and motivated. When you think of the 30 hours he saved and the fact
