I haven't done a lot of video of myself talking. That format just hasn't yet been the way to solve any priority problems/goals for me personally or professionally, so it hasn't happened a lot. Today, I had to record myself for something for work. Vertical, phone-style video.

To me this is more about people, and their awareness of the world and their own world-view, than the topics of the survey. As marketers, it's important to remember our audiences don't live in "the real world" -- and likely neither do we! So empathy and data must drive messaging decisions.

Mostly this shows how poorly informed people are. Work life balance? I got bad news for these survey-takers. Also, yes this is a politically divided time, but ffs 1968 shouldn't be scraping the bottom of that chart.
