Consultancies are already being outplayed on LinkedIn and beyond - not because their expertise is weaker, but because they’re invisible on video.

In this episode of The Consultancy Edge, I’m joined by John Wilson of Honest Video and Explainer to unpack exactly how consultancies can use video to build authority, shorten sales cycles, and stay top-of-mind with the right buyers.

We cover everything from iPhone-level DIY to agency-produced thought leadership and explainer videos - plus how to stay consistent when you’re already flat out with client work.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why founder-led video is now a non-negotiable for ambitious consultancies
• How to turn your expertise into thought leadership content without overthinking it
• The truth about production value vs just getting content out
• Simple setups for DIY video (Zoom, phone, lighting, audio) that still protect your brand
• How to use webinars, podcasts and live sessions as content engines for months
• Where different types of video belong in your marketing & sales funnel
• Why consistency beats cinematic polish for winning trust and inbound opportunities
• How to think about attribution when nobody is liking or commenting, but everyone is watching
• The smart way to use AI as a production helper, not as a content replacement

And of course we wrap up with our signature segment: Snog, Marry, Avoid - John’s quick win, long-term keeper, and what to ditch right now in your video strategy.
