A Huge Problem with (Most) Content Marketing Plans

Justin Vajko • April 17, 2026

They don’t include video.



(Like at all)

I hear this all the time: “Okay, Justin. Let’s be real. Is video actually THAT important?”


Yes, it is.


The whole point of content marketing is that it helps your buyers remember you.


A lot of buyers don’t buy instantly. They buy when the time is right for them.


Successful businesses are in front of their customers 24/7 so that they’re top of mind whenever the buyer says: “Okay, it’s finally time to level up.”


I don't know about you, but I consume a lot of written content, and I can never remember where it came from.


That’s not the case with video.


Our brains are biologically wired to associate a moving picture of a human being’s face with an idea.


You’re exponentially less likely to forget who taught you information than where you read it.


So if your goal with content marketing as a founder is to be remembered, you have to have video in the mix.


And if you need help with that, that’s what I’m here for :)
