As part of my New Moon content series, I’m featuring past clients who have built something beautiful with Highly Anticipated. This is my way of celebrating YOU and the amazing work you’ve done – while also showing other business owners what’s possible when you invest in thoughtful, intentional branding and web design.
What You Get:
- A featured spotlight in my New Moon newsletter (sent to my entire email list)
- Social media promotion across my platforms
- A blog post showcasing your business journey
- Authentic testimonial content that YOU can repurpose for your own marketing
- Increased visibility and traffic to your website
This is completely FREE for you – it’s a benefit of having worked together, and it requires just one thing: a short video interview.
The Interview: What I’m Looking For
I want to capture your story in a documentary style – raw, real, and authentic. This isn’t about being perfectly polished; it’s about sharing your genuine experience and the heart behind your business.
Interview Questions:
You are welcome to pick and choose or write your own, but here’s the vibe:
1. What do you love about your business and the thought that went into developing it for your own interests and unique goals?
- Goal: Showcase your values and what makes your business unique
- This helps potential clients see that custom branding isn’t just about looking pretty – it’s about building something that truly reflects who you are
2. What’s your favorite part of getting to run [Your Business Name]?
- Goal: Highlight the joy and fulfillment in entrepreneurship
- This creates an emotional connection and shows the “why” behind what you do
3. Where were you before working with Highly Anticipated, and where are you now?
- Goal: Show transformation and tangible results
- This is the “before and after” that helps others see what’s possible for them
4. Any advice for your past self – or for someone who’s where you were before we worked together?
- Goal: Provide inspiration and relatability
- This is the “if I can do it, you can too” moment that encourages others to take action
How to Record Your Video
You have two options – pick whichever feels easiest for you!
Option 1: Remote Recording Together (Riverside.fm)
We can schedule a time to record together remotely using Riverside.fm. This is a dual-recording platform that captures high-quality video and audio.
Benefits:
- We’re doing it together, so it feels like a conversation
- I can prompt you with questions in real-time
- High-quality recording automatically
- No tech stress on your end
How it works:
- I’ll send you a Riverside.fm link
- We hop on at our scheduled time (15-20 minutes max)
- I ask the questions, you answer naturally
- Done! The platform handles all the recording
Option 2: Record on Your Phone & Send to Me
Prefer to do it on your own time? No problem! You can record yourself answering the questions on your phone.
Tips for great phone video:
- Lighting: Film facing a window (natural light is your friend!) or in a well-lit room. Avoid harsh overhead lighting.
- Framing: Hold your phone horizontally (landscape mode). Frame yourself from mid-chest up, with a little space above your head.
- Background: Choose a simple, uncluttered background that relates to your work if possible (your office, where you meet with clients, etc.)
- Sound: Find a quiet space. Your phone mic is fine, but avoid echoing rooms or loud background noise.
- Length: Don’t overthink it! 2-5 minutes total is perfect. You can answer all questions in one take or record separate clips for each question.
- Authenticity: You don’t need to be perfect! Genuine, conversational answers are WAY more engaging than rehearsed ones.
How to send your video:
- Upload to Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer
- Send me the link via email
- Make sure it’s set to “Anyone with the link can view”
What Happens Next?
Once I receive your video, I’ll:
- Edit it into beautiful, shareable content
- Create graphics and social media assets featuring your business
- Write a blog post telling your story
- Feature you in my New Moon newsletter
- Share across my social platforms
- Send YOU all the content so you can repurpose it for your own marketing!
