What’s Happened?⤵

We’ve had yet another crazy week at V21, and here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to.

• Tom, Oliver, and Anna (Our Production Crew!) are currently in Scotland to film a series of product explainer videos with a great client of ours, Starrett.

• We released a project we’ve been working on for a brand called ByTerry, and it looks amazing. Check out the Behind The Scenes YouTube video here.

• We had two new brands sign on the dotted line for us to take their social media presence up a notch with slick, regular social videos! (More coming soon).

• The team is packed and ready for a 3-week production across four different countries for our biggest project ever, starting next week.

• We finally created all 25+ episodes for our video creation training course, Converted. Modules 1-3 are live now, and 4-7 are coming at the end of March. (Use code ‘GLITCHED20’ at Checkout for 20% off).

It’s been busy, to say the least, and it seems like things are only getting busier here. Exciting times ahead 🎉

Websites That Feel Illegal To Know, But Aren't 👩🏼‍💻

We’ve hand-picked five favourites that are going to take your workflow, and speed of creating top-notch content, to the next level this week. These five hidden gems are:

1. TinyWow

2. Synthesia

3. Jasper

4. Jitter

5. Otter

These five websites will help you to create better video content and attention-grabbing copy, remove backgrounds, clean up images, track your creative conversations, and everything in between.

Trust us, you’ll be saving hours of time by using just one of these websites, let alone all five of them!

TinyWow

TinyWow does everything. Literally…

Need to remove the background of your image? Done. Need to generate an image for your website? Done. But what if you need to remove a person from an image? It can do that too.

Consider TinyWow to be a small arsenal of handy essentials that should be in the hands of every great marketer, or creative.

Synthesia

With the entire marketing world having its eyes opened to Artificial Intelligence, Synthesia adds yet another element to consider if you’re not too keen on getting in front of the camera yourself.

It’s as easy as selecting your AI Presenter, typing in the script for your video, and wallah! A video that you can use to promote your brand. Gosh, this technology can do anything…

Jasper

Artificial Intelligence has come a long way, and it's enormously impactful when put to the right use. Jasper has been an invaluable ally this past year in creating compelling content - which is easier said than done.

To show you how powerful this is, this section of the newsletter is entirely written by Jasper.

Working with Jasper gives you the ability to make your copy truly feel special. Tailoring every word and sentence towards a particular audience and emotion, transforming mediocre ideas into captivating copy. If you're looking for impressive results from your content strategy, then check it out for yourself.

(It didn’t do too badly. We’re impressed!).

Jitter

If you don’t have the budget for an in-house creative team, and you don’t want to pay a freelancer to create some slick motion-design assets for your latest website, video, adverts, and more, then check out Jitter.

Yes, there are a ton of free solutions out there, but for $12/month (the price of two coffees from a hipster cafe) it very quickly makes all of your marketing assets and public-facing content look much more premium and established.

Otter

Have you ever been in an important meeting, and two weeks later you wish you could remember what the team had specifically said? Same.

This incredibly useful tool syncs straight into your video call software, and as you’re speaking, Otter will keep track of everything everybody has said, capture slides that have been shared, and generate a summary of the conversation when your call has finished.

We’ve found this very useful when it comes to taking notes for large projects where we need to keep track of every tiny detail, and if you’re on a lot of calls, it saves you hours in note-taking and file management.

All of these websites are incredibly powerful tools that can be used to elevate the quality, efficiency, and impactfulness of your marketing material over 2023, and we wish you the best of success in using them!

Our Recommendation!

Software and technology are brilliant to have, but nothing beats learning the skill needed to create powerful content by yourself.

Do you know the power of video, but don’t know where to start? Well, don't let your videos be left unviewed in a sea of competing content.

Converted gives you an on-demand training course so you can learn how to create videos that grab attention and engage your audience - transforming them into paying customers.

With guidance from our team of experts, discover tips on video planning, scriptwriting, and storyboarding; save time with filming and editing your videos; and harness analytical insights for optimization when you post.

Until then, see you in next week’s newsletter!
