Video projects open teams’ creative minds. But sometimes, everyone gets so absorbed in the fun that they forget to think strategically. That's when videos flop. Here’s what you need to know to make videos that actually perform.

Somebody suggests the company do a video, and all common sense leaves the room.

“We become enamored with the creative process of putting together video ... that’s the fun part of the video that everyone wants to be a part of,” says Tony Gnau, founder and chief storytelling officer at T60 Health.
