Corporate video and podcast strategy | Rami Kurimo | Negotiator 28
Originally published as “#neuvottelija 28 - Yritysten Tubestrategia (Rami Kurimo)”
Rami Kurimo of the Puheenaihe podcast unpacks why corporate video content fails so often: companies port landing-page logic onto platforms that reward regularity, native format and a recognisable human being. The conversation covers the role of guests, radio-style jingles as an anti-pattern, host-read ads versus pre-rolls, platform-native content from TikTok to LinkedIn, thumbnails and titles, running episode numbers, and why hiding comments is a beginner's mistake.
