There’s no question—insurance is a relationship business. But here’s the challenge: in 2025, relationships often begin before the first phone call. In fact, most people will search your name or agency online before they ever reach out.

What will they find?

A static headshot and some text? Or something more personal and engaging?

That’s where video comes in.

Video has become one of the most effective ways to build trust at scale. Instead of explaining the same coverage options again and again, you can create short, clear videos that speak to your clients’ most common questions. More than just saving you time, this kind of content gives your audience a chance to see who you are, hear how you speak, and connect with your personality.

And that connection builds confidence—long before you’ve even met.

What holds many brokers back is the idea that video has to be perfect. But the truth is, it just needs to be helpful. A one-minute video answering, “Do I need uninsured motorist coverage...

If you're an insurance broker, you already know how much of your day is spent explaining policies, clarifying misconceptions, and guiding clients through decisions they don’t fully understand. You’re not just selling coverage—you’re educating people on how to protect what matters most.

So here’s the question: Why aren’t you turning that expertise into content?

In today’s market, trust is the currency that closes deals. People don’t want to be sold to—they want to feel informed and empowered. They want someone who helps them understand, not someone who pressures them to sign. When you lead with education, you instantly separate yourself from the competition. You're no longer just another broker. You become a trusted advisor.

Educational marketing is the key to making that shift.

Imagine this: instead of repeating the same explanation about liability coverage ten times a week, you create a short, well-produced video walking through the basics in plain language. Now, every time a clie...

Podcasting continues to be a top strategy for building trust and authority—but it’s not always easy to keep up with the demands of weekly production. That’s why more podcasters are turning to AI to streamline their workflow and stay consistent.

How AI is Transforming Podcasting

With tools like ChatGPT, creators can now generate custom episode ideas and scripts in minutes. Just by inputting a few details about your topic and audience, AI can provide a structured outline or even a full script in your brand voice. This saves hours of research and writing time.

Why Your Brand Needs Video to Survive in 2025

If you're still wondering whether video should be part of your marketing strategy in 2025, let’s make it simple: it’s no longer optional.

Video has become the most effective way to communicate, educate, and convert. Whether you’re a coach, consultant, or service-based business, the brands winning online today are the ones consistently showing up on video.

Why Video Is Taking Over

People no longer just read—they watch. Social media algorithms prioritize video. Search engines index video faster. And audiences retain more when they see and hear you rather than just reading text.

Most importantly, video builds trust. It allows your audience to see your face, hear your voice, and connect with your personality. That emotional connection is what drives action and builds brand loyalty.

What Happens If You Don’t Show Up

If your competitors are creating video content and you're not, they’re getting in front of your audience. They’re building r...

If you're trying to grow your business in 2025, video isn't a "nice to have"—it's a must. Buyers today expect more than just a website and a business card. They want to see your story, hear your voice, and understand the value you bring before they ever reach out.

That’s where strategic video content comes in.

At Edumarketing, we help professionals and business owners create educational marketing content that doesn’t just look good—it works. And time after time, we come back to the same core video strategy: every business needs three foundational video types to move people through the buyer journey.

Let’s break down what they are, why they matter, and where to use them.

1. Branding Videos – Tell Your Story

Your branding video is your digital introduction—your chance to say, “Here’s who we are, what we believe, and why we do what we do.”

It’s not a service pitch. It’s a story. One that connects on a personal level and helps your audience feel something—whether that’s trust, curi...

Creating content consistently is one of the most powerful ways to build your brand, establish authority, and connect with your audience. But let’s face it—scripting a great video or podcast episode takes time, energy, and creativity.

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a blank screen wondering what to say next, you’re not alone. Fortunately, there’s a smarter way to tackle content creation—and it starts with AI.

Why AI Is a Game-Changer for Content Creators

Artificial Intelligence tools, like ChatGPT, are revolutionizing the way professionals create content. What used to take hours of brainstorming, outlining, and editing can now be streamlined into minutes. And no—it doesn’t mean your content becomes robotic or impersonal. Quite the opposite.

AI helps you:

• Organize your thoughts

• Generate fresh ideas

• Create clear, compelling structure

• Maintain consistency in tone and messaging

The best part? You stay in control. AI simply helps you get started faster a...
