Mediaboss Marketing

A FORMER director with credits on Doctor Who, Wild at Heart and Life on Mars has turned away from mainstream media and now hopes to educate Cumbrian businesses on the power of online video.

Andrew Gunn, Kendal, has spent his career so far working with some of televisions most well-known faces and directing Daleks.

However, he has left the industry and set up his own online video marketing and advertising business.

I was fed up with the lifestyle, Mr Gunn said, explaining why he chose to leave his directorial career.

I was away from home about 85 per cent of the way and I have two children.

I was hardly ever at home so I was constantly working and commuting.

However, Mr Gunn is still passionate about all things video and has diverted his attention to online content.

He can help individuals or businesses with video creation, video marketing, online video advertising, video for social media, YouTube marketing, video SEO and ranking and video marketing training and consultancy.

For any aspiring vloggers (video bloggers) out there, Mr Gunn can even teach clients how to vlog and build their own YouTube channel.

Theres three things I do, he said. Do it for you, so Ill provide a service from video creation right through to video marketing and optimisation.

Theres the teach you to do it yourself or the mid thing which is help you do it yourself.

Mr Gunn, 52, believes that there is huge potential in online video but that many businesses are not making the most out of it.

What Im trying to do is create very professional videos because thats the easy bit for me with my background, he said.

But theyre attached to a marketing plan and a strategy.

For me its about education. Its digitise or die! Because one day youre going to regret youre not using it.

And although he has some money cannot buy memories of time spent on set with Doctor Who baddies, Mr Gunn said that he believed that the same fulfilment could come from this new line of work.

I can take all my filmmaking talents and expertise and put it into the marketing arena, he said.
