#95 Josh from LampHouse Films: How to Sell with Commercial Filmmaking We're no strangers to the art of storytelling. A few episodes ago, Daniel chatted to the master of video advertising campaigns, Benton Crane from Harmon Brothers. Today, we're delighted to welcome renowned commercial filmmaker and video marketer, Josh Henry, to The Ecom Show! Josh is the Owner, Producer, and Director of LampHouse Films and host of the Marketing Conversations podcast. LampHouse Films specializes in film-driven marketing campaigns that sell with storytelling. If you want to get into top-tier video marketing, you don't want to miss this episode! Tune in to hear Daniel and Josh discuss: ✔️ How Josh Became a Commercial Filmmaker ✔️ Josh's Approach to Video Advertising ✔️ The Difference Between TV Ads and Social Media Ads ✔️ Common Misconceptions About Video Marketing How Josh Became a Commercial Filmmaker Surprisingly, Josh didn't grow up watching a ton of movies. He did however grow up telling stories. The first instance he remembers occurred in elementary school. Josh was riding his bike down a hill when he fell and scraped his knee. A minor injury, but a great story. “I remember the next day telling and retelling the story of me falling off my bike 10 times or more, realizing where I would get reactions and finessing the way I controlled the narrative to make it more surprising or funny. I was just addicted to the adrenaline of telling people stories and capturing their imagination.” In high school, Josh discovered film as the medium that he could tell stories most effectively. He was doing a weekly YouTube comedy show when he met Michael Schmucker, a commercial filmmaker. They partnered up 8 years ago and founded LampHouse Films - now they're thriving together in the commercial film industry. Josh's Approach to Video Advertising LampHouse Film primarily focuses on commercial film. Increasingly, much of this has been in ‘cultural videos'. Over the past two years, many companies have been struggling with growth, often finding it difficult to retain or find new employees. Increasingly, CEOs are turning to films to explain company culture. So what's the approach to these kinds of videos? For any type of video, Josh says, you must know your audience. Who are you talking to? Imagine you're in the room while your audience is watching your video. Are there parts you're going to cringe at? Read your script out loud - are there parts you hate saying? The challenge is with ‘culture videos' is that your audience is people who know the company. Unlike a product promotion, you're not introducing yourself the first time. You cannot stretch the truth at all. Josh sees this as a great exercise in video marketing, ‘culture videos' suggest a new level of scrutiny you have to rise to. The Difference Between TV Ads & Social Media Ads  Generally, Josh's clients with the biggest ROI are the ones who are running their ads on TV. However, these ads cost millions of dollars. Marketers with a lower budget of 100s of 1000s or 10s of 1000s are going to get a much better ROI online. It only really makes sense to go to TV, Josh explains, if you're trying to spend a lot of money. One of the biggest differences between TV ads and social media ads is that people can't skip a TV ad. In a social media ad, the marketer has 3 - 5 seconds to hook their audience. While Josh finds it a ‘fun challenge', he also finds it ‘creatively stifling'. TV ads give him the freedom to explore a long setup and reveal. You also have to make sure that your video advertisement belongs on its respective platforms. TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram and very distinct styles of video advertising. TikTok, for example, is very heavy on user-generated content (UGC) and vertical video. Putting a high production style ad on TikTok will seem rather intrusive. Whatever platform he's advertising on, Josh is passionate about making LampHouse ads as authentic and honest as possible. Manufacturing some controversy around your product could go viral on TikTok, or it could alienate consumers. “With LampHouse we're not trying to create ads that don't look like ads, ads that are tricking you into thinking that it's organic content. We make ads that feel like ads, they're not pretending that they're not trying to sell you something. They feel like they belong where they are.” Common Misconceptions About Video Marketing  Josh has met a few clients who believe that a good video advert can be spliced together with footage all around the same idea. You need to know your goals before you start filming. Understand your core need. This is integral to creating a clear video marketing campaign that your audience will understand and love.

#68 How To Turn Your Brand Into A Household Name Becoming a household name is all about building an emotional connection with your customers. And the best way to do that? Storytelling. Benton Crane is the CEO of the Harmon Brothers, the multiple award-winning marketing agency behind groundbreaking ad campaigns for Squatty Potty, FiberFix, and Orabrush, and many more! Their ads have been seen over 1.4 billion times and driven over $500 million in sales. We're honored to welcome Benton to The Ecom Show for a fantastic conversation with our CEO and podcast host, Daniel Budai about: ✔️ The Harmon Brothers: What's Their Story? ✔️ Which Ad Formats Work? ✔️ Effective Storytelling ✔️ The Best Ads Out There ✔️ What You Need for Video Advertising ✔️ Turning Your Brand into a Household Name - Benton's Advice The Harmon Brothers: What's Their Story? Benton says that the Harmon Brothers' “Genesis event” occurred in 2006, when Google bought YouTube. Prior to 2006, YouTube lacked any business application. Google, of course, had visions for turning YouTube into an advertising platform. Benton's partners, in particular, Jeffrey Harmon, was one of the very first creators to put an ad on YouTube. When Jeffrey was working on an ad for Orabrush, he chose what his colleagues considered to be a really odd ad length: two and a half minutes long. At the time this was unheard of: TV spots were usually 30 - 60 seconds and infomercial spots were 20 - 30 minutes long. But Jeffrey persisted. He reached out to YouTube and asked them if they could give him a “Skip Ad” button, so that those who want to watch the ad could do so and those who didn't, well...they can skip it! No one knew what a big deal the “Skip Ad” button was at the time. It was a giant shift in power from advertisers to viewers. Since the viewer was first given this choice 15 years ago, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok news feeds evolved and continue to operate on the same principle: if you don't want to watch something, you scroll right past it. “Everything we've ever done since then has been all based on the principle of giving the viewer something that they actually want and something that they can really enjoy.” As Benton points out, a lot of people have not heard of the Harmon brothers, but almost everyone has heard of their clients. After Orabrush came Poo-Pourri, which, with help from the Harmon Brothers, grew from about $7 million per year to $30 million per year. Then came Squatty Potty which grew from $4 million per year to $30 million per year. Then Purple Mattresses which grew from $3 million per year to over $100 million per year, then Chatbooks, then FiberFix. The Harmon Brother's most recent client is Lume Deodorant, starting off with $1.5 million earnings in 2018 to breaking $40 million in 2021. It's safe to say that the Harmon Brothers know how to scale. Every campaign operates on the same principle of adding value to viewers. This helps brands on their journey from what Benton calls their “poop to gold journey”. Taking them from obscurity where all entrepreneurs start, and helping to build trust over time to turn them into a household name. Which Ad Formats Work? Benton advises that ads need to be “as long as it needs to be, but not a second longer.” The Harmon Brothers are very careful about getting rid of fluff. It's all about getting the rhythm right. When it's a good ad, your viewer could watch a five minute long ad without even realizing how long it is. A 30 second ad, however, if lazily done, can drag on and on because it's boring. The longest ad the Harmon brothers have ever created was 11 minutes, and their ads range all the way down from there. They also make shorter 15 to 30 to 60 second versions of two to four to five-minute ads. On average, Benton says a successful ad usually runs from two to four minutes. Great, that's the timing down, so what about the formats? One of the most effective but easiest to implement ad formats is what Benton refers to as the “explainer testimonial ad”. It starts with your elevator pitch: one - two sentences about what your product is and why it's different, or why it matters to the customer. Then it's a very simple case of providing five - eight customer reviews. Your customers essentially write the ad for you! You just need to go in and find ones that are compelling, entertaining, and make sure to include some variety. This can be as simple as putting dynamic typography over images, or product shots. Or product shots while a narrator is reading your reviews. Or, if you want to make things really authentic, you may want to feature your customers actually giving their reviews on camera. An explainer testimonial ad the Harmon Brothers created for Lume Deodorant was phenomenally successful, driving $3 million in direct trackable sales. Another simple but fantastic ad format is a product demonstration video. A stop motion video of a product in use is a creative but clear way to convey value to the customer. Effective Storytelling So at what level do you need to start on your storytelling? Benton advises that in the early stages of startup, all investment needs to go into making sales. It doesn't make too much sense to focus on storytelling investments and character development before sales are coming in. Once you've grown your business to $1 to $2 million a year then you should start thinking about storytelling, character development and building a brand universe. As for the Harmon Brothers? “We believe that we're an organisation of storytellers. And we've become famous for the ads that we make.” Storytelling is so important to advertising because humans are wired to transmit knowledge through storytelling. We remember stories, and we connect with stories. So when a brand taps into that, it makes the brand more memorable and trustworthy. Essentially, Benton argues, a brand would be crazy not to be thinking about storytelling and making it a core part of who they are. The Best Ads Out There Benton's favorite advertising series of all time is Apple's “Get a Mac”, or “Mac Vs PC” ad campaign. The video series follows a standard but highly effective template: two men appear in a minimalist all-white background. The young man in casual clothes introduces himself as a Mac and the other, wearing a more formal suit and tie introduces himself as a PC. The PC is more of an “old timey” nerd, often frustrated with the Mac's creative but effortless abilities. The series solidified Apple's “cool”, “artistic” and “young” branding. Of course, Benton holds many Harmon Brothers video ad campaigns close to his heart. One of his all-time favorites was their campaign for ‘FiberFix', which involved throwing cars off a cliff (yes, really, check it out on YouTube!). What You Need for Video Advertising Benton confirms that yes, picture quality, lighting, and resolution are needed for great cinematography. So yes, having the right equipment does make a difference. However, in the storytelling world, the story comes first, and art comes second. If you don't have a great story, or even a great sales pitch, none of the expensive gear matters. Benton recommends starting by experimenting with cell phone footage. It's a great way to experiment with your stories and learn what works and what doesn't work. Remember: an expensive camera can shoot bad footage and a lackluster story. From Obscurity to Household Name: Benton's Advice Benton advises that every entrepreneur should have a roadmap on how to become a household brand that people love and trust. Having a holistic picture is going to be very valuable on what you need to prioritize and identify. Knowing your strategy will help you identify your toolkit. You may need Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, or you may find that social media does not actually suit your personality and skill set. It all depends on your brand and strategy. TL;DR - Nail your story, cut down the fluff, and make an ad your viewer wants to watch.

Viral marketing. Many marketers dream of it. Few are able to actually execute and create it. On this episode, we talk to a marketer who has helped create many viral video ads. Benton Crane is the CEO of Harmon Brothers, the company behind the viral videos for companies like Squatty Potty, Purple Mattresses, and Poo-Pourri. The videos they have created have cumulatively generated more than a billion views. In this interview, Benton shares his journey from a self-described “data geek” working at the US Census Bureau to creating some of the most creative and successful viral video advertising of all time. He explains the formula used to craft narratives at Harmon Brothers, how they use data and analytics in conjunction with great storytelling, and what many marketers get wrong about A/B testing.
