Video Guidelines

Maroon Oak’s Video Blog is another awesome step in our initiative to grow Member reach and provide them more visibility with their audience. Members can share a short video about their work and tip(s).

Maroon Oak will share your video across the web and social media.

All you need to do this is to record a short video related to you and your work and email or text it to us.

What we want

Short videos featuring you and content from your area of expertise. The goal is to share and educate, not self-promote!

Guidelines make it easy!

We have enclosed 4 key tips on creating impactful videos.

Share Content your Audience loves

The most popular video content — how-to’s and tips, hands down! Share a tip (or many) about something from your area of expertise.

E.g. A quick primer on the benefits of yoga. Or top 5 reasons to have a beauty routine. Hidden hacks about Facebook pages. Why I volunteer.

Duration — Attention Spans are shrinking

We suggest keeping it to under 2 minutes — that’s plenty to share something meaningful AND not losing your audience. (Most of the most popular ads don’t exceed 30–40 seconds).

Styling — Make it interesting, fun, humorous, thought provoking

Breakdown your video into 3 main parts. A handy script or cheatsheet always helps (think fewer takes).

Head: Start with your name and company. (I am xyz, the owner/founder of or a PR head with…). Tell us what you’re going to share.

Body: You can show or tell your message. Use a demo, share a screen with voiceover or stay in frame yourself — it’s all up to you.

End: I’m (your full name) and a ‘thanks for watching’ message.

The Maroon Oak team will take care of adding captions, so your name and company name is clearly visible to viewers.

Layout — Always Horizontal!

You can record with your phone, but remember to turn it sideways before recording. (Else your video will have 2 ugly sidebars on both ends)
