Ready to Build Your Visibility and Business With Video? You’re in the right place!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Annette Richmond, Video Consultant, when I needed urgent help editing a video in CapCut, and I’m so glad I reached out to her.

I was on a tight deadline and had never used the app before. Annette was able to get me in for a next-day Zoom appointment and patiently walked me through the entire process using the app on my phone, step by step. She helped me with everything from trimming and formatting the video to blurring out personal information inside the video itself so I could confidently submit it on time.

What I appreciated most was her ability to meet me where I was. She made the technology feel approachable and helped me navigate features that were beyond beginner level, even when I started to feel overwhelmed. She was calm and always had a new approach “Let’s try this” until it all came together. By the end of the session, I had the video completed and also felt far more confident using the platform on my own.

If you are looking for someone who understands video, teaches clearly, and genuinely wants you to succeed, I highly recommend connecting with Annette Richmond.

I have been learning video tips from Annette for years and I was thrilled when I heard she was offering the “Smarter, Faster, Fun Video Bootcamp.” Now, if you follow me on LinkedIn, you know I’m pretty comfortable (and savvy) when it comes to video, but I knew I’d learn new techniques from Annette, to help me further elevate my messaging and video skills. And I was right! 

I highly recommend enrolling in Annette’s bootcamp or paying to work with her. If you, like me, have benefited from all her free expertise over the years, imagine the value you’ll get from paying to learn from her! You’ll learn techniques from Annette and she’ll provide you guidance and support along the way. Tell her Brenda sent you!

Annette’s approach to video is not just joyful but contagious! She is a master of her craft, always learning new techniques, demonstrating them, and teaching them to others. As creative as Annette is, one of the things I most appreciate is the reminder that we need to have fun with video too!

And I use the first things she taught me about with every video I make – don’t be intimidated, you don’t need to be perfect, be yourself, and just do it! If you are thinking about video or making yours better, Annette should be your go to resource!

If you’re ready to stop avoiding video and start using it strategically, Annette Richmond is the expert you’ve been looking for. As a Video First Social Media Strategist, she makes video feel accessible and doable, even for the most camera-shy among us. I’ve collaborated with Annette across multiple platforms, from podcasts to marketing marathons, and whether she’s the host or the guest, she always delivers. She’s also the author of “Mastering Short Form Video Content,” a practical guide I highly recommend. Annette is creative, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to work with.

Most recently, Annette was a guest on my LinkedIn for Authors Masterclass, where we discussed how to leverage video content to build your author platform and connect with readers on LinkedIn. Annette was especially knowledgeable because she is both an author and an expert when it comes to video.

I honestly surprised myself by signing up for the Smarter, Faster, Fun Video Bootcamp because I never wanted to be on video. That was way outside my comfort zone.

What I love about Annette’s course is that it makes the whole process feel doable. It doesn’t expect you to be an expert. It gives you the tools, explains everything step by step, and makes you feel like you can actually do this.

One of my biggest takeaways has been that the magic isn’t in the filming. It’s in the editing. I recently made a sourdough bread video, and it was amazing to see how ordinary footage could turn into something I was proud of just by learning a few editing techniques.

Now I’m working on a project I’m really excited about, and for the first time I feel like I have all the tools I need to pull it off because of Annette’s course. I’m still learning new tips as I go, but I can already see how much more confident I am than when I started.

I signed up thinking I’d learn how to make videos. What I didn’t expect was to stop overthinking them. Now I just want to keep creating and see where it takes me.

Annette conducted an extremely helpful and informative class on optimizing LinkedIn profiles which provided invaluable tips and perspectives. She has also provided one-on-one counseling to aspiring entrepreneurs who are interested in using LinkedIn to build their businesses.

I wholeheartedly recommend Annette and look forward to working with her in the future.

Annette is an empathy lead career strategist and a personal branding expert. She can help someone feel unstuck and clearly define their brand presence. She has a wonderful ability to listen and then assist you in articulating your story. She is assiduous and a consummate professional, and brings amazing value to the LinkedIn platform. 

Her live shows loaded with helpful tips on careers, personal branding, improving online presence through videos, are worth following and learning from. I wish Annette the very best and would recommend her to anyone looking for a coach and a guide.

Thanks, Annette!
📌 Despite regularly speaking to large audiences at conferences and webinars, I struggled with camera presence when speaking to an audience of zero. Fear and self-doubt would creep in, causing me to stumble over words and sound insecure. Through video coaching sessions with Annette, I learned valuable techniques to overcome these challenges. I now feel confident and composed on camera, delivering clear and impactful messages.

📌 In this world where video rules, I recommend Annette for video coaching to learn techniques, best practices, and easy-to-use tools.

I attended a session with Annette at ATD New England, and even with my background in video and documentary production, I walked away with new, practical ideas I could immediately apply in my client work.

Annette brings passion and expertise to her craft and generously shares time-saving workflows and creative techniques. She’s engaging, insightful, and genuinely invested in helping others elevate their storytelling skills. Highly recommend.

Annette understands what it means to network. She’s generous with her perspective and counsel, quick to offer assistance, and make suggestions. She demonstrates an all-to-rare willingness to recommend colleagues when she recognizes someone else may be a better fit for whatever reason.

She is dedicated to her craft and continually educating herself in order to provide her clients with elevated offerings. I would, and have recommended her to friends, family, and colleagues.

Annette’s energy is contagious, as well her video coaching approach. As a member of The TRIBE, a professional community of Richard van der Blom, I’ve greatly had a benefit of Annette’s Workshop on how to shape my process of video creation more effective, and also fun! I believe this helps you start loving the process. And Annette knows her craft, both in creative / technical part, and also in helping to learn how to do video with joy! I highly recommend her approach and amazing energy!

Really loved working with Annette. I had always struggled with having to explain my own career with such concise wording. Having the LinkedIn makeover done was key to receiving my job offer. Ultimately I ended up with a higher position and an 80% increase in my pay. Thank you Annette!

I have had the pleasure knowing Annette for the last couple years and have really admired her and her work. Annette spoke at our Fairfield Network of Executive Women group, and the feedback was wonderful. She was very thorough with her topics, patient and answered all questions in a detailed manner. She captured the attention and respect of all the women who attended. Annette would be a great individual for anyone to work with.

Annette’s ability to simplify creating videos helped me craft more interesting LinkedIn messaging.

If you want to elevate your online presence, I highly recommend contacting Annette. Her insights make her a valuable addition to your social media strategy.

Thanks, Annette!

Annette of Black Dog Marketing spoke to the Resume Writers and Coaches Association recently on “Video Visibility: Boosting Your Brand with Short-Form Video and Livestreaming.” I could never have figured this out with my own research. She is amazing and easy to understand.

In sharing techniques, platform insights, and practical tips to engage my audience and elevate my marketing strategy, she left me with the tools I need to get started. I now feel well-equipped with the know-how to captivate and grow my audience across digital landscapes — just as she promised!

The most important lesson Annette taught me was video isn’t about being perfect, it’s about showing up. She has been so supportive and encouraging in helping me share my content.

I’m grateful for her patience and willingness to help me succeed. If you are looking to elevate your social media strategy I can’t recommend Annette enough.
