Storyboard, so, you know, what kinda video? Do you wanna do videos? You wanna do UGCs? You wanna do testimonials? What kind of formats do you wanna test? This is where a lot of the, um, game starts because a format that could work for a specific client does not work for a different client, um, and/or a different product or a different service.

So, um, clients have to be willing to spend a, um, specific amount of budget for A/B testing.

We don't shoot and then cut in the editing room.

And there's a real power there.
