The content marketing experts at Skyword asked me to write a blog post about how to create better, more effective mobile videos. I’ve produced a whole lot of videos in my app marketing role at Microsoft, so I’m happy to share what I’ve learned. The post published today; I’ll provide the first few paragraphs here, followed by a link you can use to read it in its entirety.
